Buying a Toyota Hilux Tiger 2002-2003 model, suggestions needed

[maisam4x4]

Hi Everyone,

I've owned a Hyundai Santro Plus 2000 my entire life, and now I'm looking to upgrade my vehicle. I barely use the car for daily commuting, so fuel economy isn't a major concern for me. I'm an adventure lover, have travelled across Pakistan on my Motorcycle but with declining age, cant do more, now I'm looking for a purpose built vehicle so at least can travel long on it once a year

(I WFH) (from KHI)

Since childhood, my dream car has always been a pickup truck. Currently, I'm considering the Hilux Tiger models as I love them a lot due to there shape

I've come across a few listings on PakWheels.

Listing 1: https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/toyota-hilux-2002-for-sale-in-karachi-7919354

Listing 2: https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/toyota-hilux-2003-for-sale-in-sialkot-7950003

Listing 3: https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/toyota-hilux-2002-for-sale-in-bahawalpur-7882225

Listing 4: https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/toyota-hilux-2001-for-sale-in-lahore-7589058

Listing 5(most expensive one) https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/toyota-hilux-2003-for-sale-in-karachi-7722572

Listing 6: https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/toyota-hilux-2003-for-sale-in-islamabad-7129595

Could you guys suggest if the asking price is fair for the particular condition?
Also, what should I be looking for when buying such a vehicle?
Do's and Dont's by experienced users would be highly appreciated.

I'm completely inexperienced when it comes to buying a used car and I'm not familiar with market values.

And before buying I will use pakwheels inspection service as a must to see condition of the car like incase of any oil leakage in engine or transmission and suspension condition

If someone can check the listings and suggest me that the asking price is too high, so I will contact them accordingly and also look for this particular model in local areas

Thanks!

Pakwheels has mostly overstated asking prices. A clean Tiger might be around the 2 Million mark. Please do remember I am not an expert, just an avid price watcher.

Some rare Tigers (mostly amnesty scheme) are with the v6 petrol motor. With only half body weight they will leave a lot of extended bumper, chromed and stickered Toyota and Hondas eating dust in a drag. Very powerful. Also, Tigers were well built but mostly are now altered and butchered so do get these inspected before finalizing the deal. BOL

sir @mir.azam please check your inbox am eyeing a Toyota Yaris 2021 need your help sir

You are absolutely right. Many of the ones I contacted either had their engines swapped or had damaged cylinders.

[consigliori]

Bro, even though PW advertised vehicles are overpriced but let me tell you, a well maintained, non butchered tiger with proper docs will cost you 2.5-2.7 million. Atleast 200k for post ownership maintenance and bringing it to shape, so safely, around the 2.8-3 million mark for a "self maro, fuel dalwao aur urratay phiro" Tiger.

Sir, such vehicles are a thing of fables now. Even if I get my hands on a spotless specimen, I would still cycle through all fluids and preventative maintenance.
