many and many people are investing the Japanese used cars now, This is just to encourage investors to book cars, sum one who booked one car for 1.6 million and sold it for 25-30k, Now he can book 6 cars at a time, and earn 6*30k, Since Honda and Toyota might also start this a false demand supply gap would be created hence more own money.
But this time people have started using there heads, They are opting for other options, I agree that Japanese imports are not at all healthy for the local car industry, But that is only when there is healthy competition which is consumer friendly.
Currently in Pakistan there is only one car in every segment and consumers are bound to buy that crap, Yes Crap. Just compare the PKDM Hilux Vigo chapms dash to a 4-5 years used thailand (not even japanese) Vigo, Its not about grey or beige interior, the quality is worse then that of 98 Margallas/Indus Corolla and 2002 Coures.
And then they raise prices with the increasing dollar, and still claim localization. What a bunch of loosers, Its always give and take. You give good quality to buyers, Why on earth would they go to buy Japanese used cars.
Compare a used 2009 Coure/Alto to a used 2007 Japanese kei car, Prices are very much competitive, These cars have way to many options and top most they are very safe cars.
Even though the high mileage, The cars are very well maintained, These cars can be driven for 4-5 years without going tp a workshop (that is incase you arnt ripped of by a cheat dealer).
And in Pakistan we get a crappy Mehran teen daaba without that doesnt even has a radio for 6 lacks for Gods sake, Please close your factories if thats the case. You realy dont need to do any ehsaan on us, Id love to open up a 3S for Japanese usedd cars and offer complete service backup. for some specific cars and give jobs to people rather then motivating people to buy the Mehran and Cultus!!!!
PakSuzuki discontinues mehran nd starts going into losses, I wish and im hoping that more nd more people shift to other cars rather then buying the crappy mehran so Paksuzuki is made to offer a new car instead of that car, Yes Pakistan is a third world country, major population still dreams to have a mehran. But its about time things changed.
Technology has made us smart, Or else nokia should still be selling 3310 and that would still be a dream of several people, And the day china mobiles start selling Nokia would die, What the crap, Nokia is still competing with China mobile offering competitve products.
Why dont our local dealers make a contract with there Japanese companies, and officialy import used cars with a 3S support? Specialy when Suzuki and Toyota are offering the certified Used cars scheme
