salam.experts.can u guide me in range from 650k to750k witch is the best car between suzuki liana//toyota platz /lancer??????

[FaatehRehman]

A well maintained lancer and NO CNG Liana are better than PLATZ. Platz is easy to maintain mechanically but body parts can cause issues sometimes.

If all three cars have high mileage then prefer Platz. But resale is slow.

1 Liana (Suzuki car, Swift have same engine, parts easily available and not expensive, not a good fuel efficient car, can be problematic on cng)

2 Lancer - i have not owned it but have heard and seen people not finding spare parts even in major city like Karachi. very very few dealers keep inventory of it with insane prices.

3 Platz is a very old car now, 1000cc and parts could be an issue.

[FaatehRehman]

Earlier Liana model had some plug wires shorting issues, and CNG lianas are a strict No. Although the factory fitted kit was good but it never worked out and had lots of complaints.

All these cars are not fuel efficient compared to modern cars. If you want fuel average then opt for smaller japanese cars of comparable model.

LIana and Platz will be cheaper to maintain than Lancer. First research the market for parts in your vicinity which will give you a much better idea

Dear unfortunately our market is very bad in this regard, even in such a budget it is hard to find a car that is sedan and reliable to run.

Coming to your 3 options: liana eminent vurv is a good choice/1600cc one. Problems of this car are wiring/fuse issues in rain, and problems due cng use.

Platz: parts are problematic. Remember, its at least 12+ years old, so it will need some maintenance naturally. Unfortunately, finding right mechanic and spare is hassle. Resale of vehicle is non existent.

Lancer: Enjoys better reputation than above. Spares are plenty easily found in Lahore. There was a 1500 cc version, (if I remember correctly) which had wooden inside paneling it was imported. Try to get that.

Conclusion: In my humble opinion biggest maker of sale/resale or biggest destroyer of any brand in Pak is one : maintenance. With that in mind, if you want to go for sedan, I suggest Corolla (98-2002), its tough, robust, easy parts available, and most mechanics can work it. But stay away from diesel converted to petrol car, either go for original diesel or original petrol. 2nd opinion would be city (2000-2001) and finally 3rd option 96 onward civic.

[FaatehRehman]

Only body parts of Platz can be problematic (they are available though). Everything else is of Vitz and Corolla and is readily available.

PlatZ is FUGLY

[FaatehRehman]

Subjective opinion. Any non-fugly sedan under 750k which is maintainable?

[fastian04]

Lancer.. beautiful ofcourse ..

[fastian04]

Lancer is better in every regard sir
