Hi ,
@cerwinvega

I am looking to buy a Civic Oriel 1.8 Prosmetic 2007 - 55K on the ODO . With all the stock options . Karachi number. demand is 13 . what do you think .

There is no touchup or major scratches.

the problem is there is no service history available ? so i am not sure if the services was done on time or not . car looks quite clean to me.

[CerwinVega]

Dear topcat ..... you have mentioned about a 2007 model car with only 55K on the odo which is not at all a normal scenario such cars are one in a million and really gives smell like a new car ..... secondly you mentioned its total genuine which is again near to impossible to find in 2007 model ..... however for a karachi registered car without sunroof the price seems to be ok and you can negotiate at the stop but my suggestion is to take this car to honda authorised dealership for complete checkup ,,,,,, verify the reality with what you have been told and then take final decision...... i can help you further if you can send me its complete detailed inner and outer pics ......wish you all the best .....

Thank you for your answer ...

Is it possible to find out if the meter has been rolled back ?
The car is covered in dust (like it has not been driven for a long time) but inside seems pretty new in pictures. I will be there myself next week and will take some good pictures and share it with you.
The car actually got a sunroof too ..
I have asked to see the service history if possible and will let you know next week.
Can honda dealership tell me the cars history too ?
Do you know how much the dealership charge for the check-up ?

If i was too buy a 2007 Oriel Prosmetic Full option car in islamabad any idea what price range are we looking at ?

I am guessing by your reply that if the car turned out to be genuine then its a good buy ? right

[mannif1]

what are your thoughts on Sonica Diatshu ?
i think parts and resale will be a problem
this is the car which i found

Used Daihatsu Sonica 2007 Car for sale in Islamabad - 884773 | PakWheels

seen the car looks clean but the demand is alot

any comments ?

[CerwinVega]

@mannif1 ........

Daihatsu sonica is the top of the line 660cc car with maximum number of options but unfortunately its not a common car and therefore you will not be able to find its parts easily even if you are willing to pay high cost ,,, secondly shape of Mira custom and Move / Move custom is more beautiful than sonica ...... thirdly due to its turbo engine it has poor fuel average .

I was just being friendly with Naweed bhai. He's a good friend brother.

Car world is like sea. You are always learning. Healthy debates with experienced fellow PWheelers are always productive.

@topcat

The price is definitely OK considering the condition that you described. The car is worth buying BUT
If you are somewhere in Punjab or the Federal Capital, be prepared to loose 200k on the car if you plan to sell it after 6 months.

After spending sometime in Islamabad market these days I have come to the conclusion that in Islamabad, no car has worth if it does not have an Islamabad number.

Same goes for Lahore. Islamabad number is treated like dirt.
Cities like Gujrat and Gujranwala accept both cities.

Karachi is a gone story here

[sk_020]

Can anyone here tell what is the ongoing price of used new shape civic ivtec manual(2012-2014) in lahore, islamabad and karachi? I'm finding one for myself and not able to find clean car.

@ Dear shereabdullah

as per your given details i think any thing close to 600K is a good price because an excellent condition liana 2006 model can maximum fetch 650-675k in lahore

[CerwinVega]

@dear SK_kingpin

Normally a standard manual Vtec variant has low resale in civic ...... I think this new shape car should be sold less than 300K than its invoice price what ever it is at any given time ...... for example if new one is 21 lacs + registration cost then you will not pay more than 18 lacs ..... rest it depends on your need and purchasing power..... normally people buy a full option civic and that is why profit making is only possible on full option Oriel prosmatec

[sladis]

AoA, would you give an idea about possible price of a 2005 VXR Cultus, 68k milage, second owner, bumpers are scratched up, minor touch up on passenger door, regular bumps on that you get on a 7 year body but nothing dramatic, aftermarket CNG installed, original tape player, wheels, even mats and in white color with lhr number.

[CerwinVega]

@dear sladis

The approximate price of a cultus VXR 2005 model is 550k in lahore market as per the condition you mentioned but an exceptionally good car with company fitted CNG can fetch 600k.

[mannif1]

thank you all for the wonder full feedback. i have made an offer of over 775,000 .lets see but fuel economy s actually very good .my cousin has it n hes getting 16-17 km/litre and he really does not maintain it proper ,
kindly check the link

The SONICA is a new concept car, developed in the pursuit of innovatively high quality driving performance for a small car. With target buyer focus on commonly known "freestyle couples" who place great importance on their own personalities and private time, this car anticipates recent lifestyle changes in Japan, as well as the shift of user preference toward smaller cars. The SONICA is the result of Daihatsu's continuing quest for passenger cars that give their users the driving enjoyment and cruising comfort they are seeking.

Key features of the newly launched SONICA:

Car body design that brings refreshment and excitement

• Low, long body configuration that conveys an image of comfortable driving

Spacious, comfortable interior that relaxes

• Low floor, long and wide interior space
• Roomy interior that gently encompasses passengers; bench seats that make cruising enjoyable

Traveling performance ideal for cruising

• Turbo engine equipped with newly developed CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) achieves smoothly controlled yet powerful driving force, with low fuel consumption (2WD: 23.0 km/L*3, lowest among the class**; 4WD: 21.0 km/L***).
• Exhilarating steering feel, relaxing ride
• Low interior noise that accommodates lively conversation

parts availibility and resale are an issue ,
How about Suzuki Cervo ? any thoughts about it ?

[CerwinVega]

@ manif1 .... thanks for complements

As far as suzuki cervo is concerned, its a beautiful car infact the most beautiful among all the previous shape car till 2009 but unfortunately its production stopped in japan in 2010. I have sold a limited edition cervo two years back with full options and triptronic gears and it was a fun to drive ...... if you still managed to find a good car available for resale then go for it but yes it has the same issue of body parts due to disconnection of production.
Personal feedback on 660cc car
Now let me give you a very surprising feedback on 660cc..... Daihatsu ESSE is the best 660cc car. If you just ignore the missing gadgets which you find in other custom cars it is superior in driving comfort, pickup, road grip, fuel milage and above all the cheapest of all. any one planning to buy a 660cc car in near future just give a try once before buying any thing.

Thanks for the suggestion dear. After market analysis I came to conclusion that I can't buy a clean 2012-2013 Ivtec in 1.8 million sadly. People are asking 20+ for their cars. @haroon_Tarrar
Bro can you please share what should be the fair price of a 2013 Ivtec manual with lahore registeration. 7k done with navigation and as good as new.
