K3 Passo / vitz 1300cc Engine in Margalla

[farrukhrizwan1975]

i have a budget of max 700k, im in a search of good sedan. but unable to found one. baleno in good condition is over 800k. so i was wondering what if i buy a margalla 1998 model with power steering and power windows for around 4-450k and then swap k3 or vitz engine with automatic gear?
it is good idea or not ? what would be the cost of complete setup.
i have seen some vedio of cars doc yard person of swapping . btw im from karachi.

Look for a decent 6th Gen Civic in this budget instead.

civic ki maintenance cost bhut hogi and feul average bhiii :((

And you think a swapped Margalla won't have any issues and not burn a hole in your pocket? I have daily driven a 6th gen Civic for almost 10 years not too long ago. With just basic maintenance, it is a very reliable car, contrary to popular belief. I only replaced parts with OEM or close to OEM, always followed specs, replaced parts when required, etc. Parts are not super expensive and these cars do not require frequent maintenance if taken care of.

Margalla is a super reliable car on its own if you have the right mechanic, but the carby stuff is getting really old and mechanics are hard to find, in my opinion, you can swap, a G series engine in it too, but that would be focused more towards power, I think a M series engine would do great too.
