Help! Im thinking of buying Altis Grande CVT 2016

[pvpislife]

what is a optitron speedo?

so i guess i shud buy the late version of 2016 or 2017 its a bit out of budget because they are 3 or 4 lac more expensive then manual Ac ones

is the new immobilizer efficient?

[hash4u]

sweep meter is new
the car accelerating is having older meter

reports are there of immobilizer cars being stolen as well
but still it gives you 50% advantage of car being more secure then conventional cars imo
breaking into conventional corolla / starting it and driving it is 3-5 minutes job for a regular thief. very insercure

[pvpislife]

ah i see thanks you both @artist604 and @hash4u
so you recommend me the late 2016/2017 model? it is 3-4 lac more expensive then early 2016 model and at what price should it be a good deal?

[hash4u]

yes i do recommend the new key one
non immobilizer corolla is like leaving a CG 125 unlocked in a crowded market

old car prices are insane in naya pakistan
new key clean car should be 26 lacs or above imo in twin cities (clean car)

[zee5han]

In 26 lacs budget , you can think about a new 1.6 .. its really hard to find unmolested car, even then you never have peace of mind of how it was driven maintained.

[zee5han]

Since last price increase new 1.6 with registration and taxes will cost south of 28 lacs now

[pvpislife]

ofc new one will be best if ONLY they had put cruise control and sunroof in it, or atleast one of those things, its basically another gli with more power. and new grande is out of question and not worth it at that price

[adil5855]

Go for late 2016 model. I also own it. Clean car will cost around 25-26

Cars that came after may 2016 are with immobilizer and upgraded feature.
Before may 2016 all of them were non immobilizer one without jackknife key.
The new upgraded model had hyperblack colored rims, they came in corolla for 6 months only. Interior differences were: climate control, new meter cluster with dual side steering controls, and auto side mirror fold with lock/unlock.

My car is in one of the first deliveries of this upgraded model and it was delivered on 24 may 2016.

i have found a grande cvt 2017 model 50000km running and his final demand is 27lac. good deal or ?

[zee5han]

Yes cruise control should have been added , Imc didn't even give fog-lights or retractable mirrors (in 1.6).
Sunroof and paddle shifters is one of those features when you don't have them you keep thinking about it, but when you do have them you hardly ever use it. I don't think I opened my civics sunroof even once this year.

And i'll disagree, Altis 1.6 is not just a more powerful GLi, maybe the pre face lift one .. but the Face lift one has a lot of features for the 2-3 lac price difference .
1)Optrion meter (Same as grande as far as I know)
2)tires and rims same as grande.
3)side skirts.
4) Andriod panel with 2gb ram.
5) 6 speakers
and ofcourse superwhite color and the 1.6 engine..

Rest its up to you, if you can find a clean unmolested car then go for it, biggest advantage you will have is CVT , it will be much smoother and best average among all corolla variants.

[haseeb.basharat]

Good deal. Is it a facelift?

[pvpislife]

nope

[pvpislife]

even if i buy a unmolested one it will get molested in less than half a year by me hahaha

[pvpislife]

no its not a facelife, geniune bumpers and lights

[rajaahmed96]

Seems expensive for a old shape one try to negotiate or find some other car. I sold mine 2017 immobilizer key white b2b grande isb number 32k driven for 25.5 in january.

[haseeb.basharat]

Negotiate and get it.

[hash4u]

Do confirm if he got CVT oil changed at 40,000 km scheduled maintenance or not if buying
like haseeb said, negotiate and buy

face lifts are 3 million plus

[haseeb.basharat]

Yeah and if haven't changed than that's another expense of rs. 10k after purchasing car.

The post May 2016 model Grande CVTi's have also two airbags (Driver + Passenger) as compared to older models. Also the hyper finish alloy rims and jack knife keys were replaced in early 2017 models. They had the normal silver rims and a standard key
