Is it right decision to buy new Wagon R VXL instead of Japanese imported used cars of same price range

[umardraz1]

My question is about comparison and decision advice.

Do you think to buy a car in budget of 11-12 lac new Wagon R VXL or one should buy 6-7 years older japanese car in the same budget like 660 cc or passo etc.

[shariq101]

New car with available after sales support. It is a pain to search for new body parts, sensors and parts like catalytic Converters of JDM vehicles.

If you are self importing or buying through an honest importer, then JDM is better. If you want to buy through a dealer then my friend you'll surely get a reversed meter or accidental car. So in that case PKDM Wagon R VXL is the better bet.

[amircase82]

No...it is better to buy brand new faw v2 than this suzuki junk.....i have test driven faw v2 and it is a much bettr car than any pakistani junk....

[mohsan87]

Interior quality of plastic of faw v2 is very cheap.

[mohsan87]

Yes new is always better. With local warranty. Parts availability and trained mechanics all around the Pakistan

[umar6633]

Wait till mid 2018

[qwertz]

New Wagon R is far better than old JDM cars. Go for it. You will not regret it.

[Obxe]

Unless you want a small automatic vehicle get a brand new VXL cultus
If you want tk save on the initial amount and buy a car without bothering about the brand image or resale get a faw v2

[amircase82]

Well..i dont think new cultus has that much resale....and dont get me started about the brand image of suzuki in pakistan....everyone knows that.....

[sheikhmunda97]

Brand new car is much better then jdms
Faw v2 is a very good car but resale and fuel averge is better of wagon r

[saad.ikram.5688]

JDM way better. And you can get good verified vehicles in 12 lac only 3 years older not 6-7 -_-. You can but a decent spec Wagon R in 12 lac 2014 model with mileage less than 40K. And most common parts like (oil filter, air filters, brake pads and stuff) can be used of local Swift or Wagon R they fit perfectly other than that most engine related parts are now readily available in the market. Adding the benifit that you'll gee featured like OVRM, Back spoiler, Back Viper, Eco Idle, Height Adjuster, Maybe Heated seat in some versions, Traction Control, Keyless Entry With Push Start, Alloy Rims, Climate Control ,Headlight Adjustment , Radar collision detection system and Automatic Transmission.

Well in my opinion one should not forget that all these complex gadgets may require a maintenance cost incase Allah forbit if car is messed up... the owner may not by being hyper careful but some one else may hit either from rear or front or both even sideways.... or may be a technical fault then all these gadgets become a real pain in neck and may be at that time utility of such things is not that much in routine but fixing it would require a heft amount. N obviously majority doesnt have easy money hence 1 - 1.2 million spending definitely requires a peace of mind which in such scenario I am afraid would be lost. I am keeping every body in my shoes thats why highlighting ..... the question has come up , it means security of money n peace of mind is the primary concern.

[saad.ikram.5688]

You are correct nadeem and you do have a valid point. Usually the only problem comes with head lights and tail lights which are expensive. Other than that body denting and painting is always available . And gadgets are easy fix too. Just remove them. For example if traction control is not working simply remove its wire from fuse box or ECU and no engine check light or anything. But yes there are some things which you cant remove like the oxygen sensor etc which if gone bad do create a hindrance.

[saad.ikram.5688]

And usually it depends on the person buying it. If it is the persons one and only car he will surely go for A local one instead of JDM. If its a person like me who has 2 cars then yeah i'll get a JDM cause it means i am financially good or great that in case something happens i can get my car repaired or source new parts .

[bilalahsan]

pl don't trade ease of auto transmission, safety features, abs, climate control, eco idle like features for a smell. Wagon r may be easy to maintain by local mechanics but think of if I buy a new car you wont be visiting mechanics soon. Reliability of jdm cars are stellar a brand new wagon r is likely to break sooner than a 4 yr old jdm car. I bought Daihatsu move and it is absolutely problem free running for about 1.5 years now, my one friend took his wagon r to workshop after just 2 months of purchase due to faulty assembly issues, buy jdm period

[aliadnan1984]

100 % agreed with saad ikram here ... aur ye sab baatain purani ho chuki hain ke ji parts nhi miltay , maintenance mehngi hai , resale nhi hai wagaira, Har doosri gari aap ko road pe JDM nazar aye gi .

aur ye jo nai wagonr ki sastay parts ki baat karte hain .. zara jaa ke suzuki se OEM headlight ki price pata kar ke yahan batayen .

2ndly sab se important sirf 2 baatain hain mere liye .... "Life" security and comfort according to "worth of my money" .... pakShitSuzuki ki koi car bhi JDM wagonr , mira, move (3 year old) ke paas bhi nahi phatakti in "both" these cases.

2 saal pehle 4 grade wagonR import ki thi . aaj tak , I repeat, aaj tak aik rupaya bhi nhi khaya us ne oil aur filters ke ilawa . so please jaag jao pakistanio aur PakShitSuzuki ko apne haq halaal ki kamai "kachray" ke badlay main na do . new entrants ke darr se new cultus nikali hai warna un ka bass chalay to aglay 10 saal bhi aaj se 30 saal purani gari hi bechain

agar local aur new hi leni hai is budget main go for FAW V2 , my friend has bought it. the way it is going, there will be no resale problem .

saara jahaan aik taraf aur aap ka apna opinion aik taraf .. yahan mere reply main shayad 10 log aa ke jdm ko rolain gay.. ... sirf 1 din nikalo .. aur jdm wagonr /mira , aur faw V2 aur pk wagonr ki test drive le lo ... aap ka mind khud hi ban jaye ga

[saad.ikram.5688]

JDM's have superb quality. I bought a 2006 JDM Alto in 2012 when they started importing these. Sold it in 2016 after driving it 135000Km(26k At import time). And not once i had a issue with it. Worked Flawlessly.

[nadeemkhan207]

A fact , but here trying to pertinent to the poster's point of view as I think he is concerned about maintenance , resale etc thays why opted to inquire. If the aforesaid points were of no concern, he would not have asked.

[nadeemkhan207]

Again , try to stick to the poster's concern. 2 Million for persons could be different. One can maintain decades old Mercedes and may be the other one can get a latest corolla but could just easily maintain it as per routine. Hell of a difference for the same amount of money. Priorities are different, when some one asks, always try to be in his her position. JDM is not every one's cup of tea and I personally know routine dealers becoming billionaire in the same scrap converting to gem business of JDMs and how they do it, most of the people know so dont need to shed light on it. Just for the info, have a glimpse of Alto architecture n of current Wagonr n would get the answer for smoothness. Well again , pl try to stick to the poster's concern
