Mehran for Rs. 779,000/-

[fahadwizz]

1-2 lakh...mm..well ur dead right...but then again u wouldnt refuse to agree that civic also is not worth more than 10-12 lakh then or is it?

The new Civic is almost same as it is available internationally. The control price of a newer model car carries the R&D cost so the price is justified.

How about selling something which was developed when highest amount of RAM anyone could have in his 8088 was 128kb. When hard disks were not common and Wasim Akram had just joined the cricket team.

Well how is the price justified? dont u wana talk about the quality here? the safety differences...No VSA no 6 airbags...and even the quality cannot be compared with an American assembled Civic...and how much does civic cost in America...$15,000 or less...a big enough difference..
Take example of an xli.is it worth 15 lakh? nah, not even 5 lakh...but then again we r living in pakistan so we have to accept that...a similarly sized 1.8 with god knws what extra toys and world class safety standards in America would cost less than 15 lakh rs...

Precisely everything in Pakistan sucks,whether its GOV,cars,prices,many people are right that its not only mehran we should be blaming but every car over here is over rated for no obvious reasons.

Absolutely right brother, there is not check and balance.

as Honda atlas guys dont do much R n D themselves and manufacturing costs in Pakistan are low, yes, the cost of making one should be low. but remember the high taxes because of importing most of the parts and cost of imported items themselves. n secondly, atleast the cars are of market-leading quality and features!

yar mere pas bhi aik mehran hai. jo k office workers k liye rakhi hai...

haan ji mehran mehangi hai chawal gari hai . purani mehran achi thi .. abi tu bas dalda ka tin lagaya hua hai darwazon mein and i have witnessed it..

baat ye hai k.. ye chawal ride. parts sasate hain mechanics hain. koi tension nai kam wale jitna marzi abuse karain..

woh set hojati hai kahein na kahein se local use k liye fit hai.

coure is much better.. i dont know what price course is going for now..

coure mene bachpan se dekhi hai.. shuru mein buil quality bohat aala thi abka pata nai.

best would be buyy old knackered mehran aur uske reconditon karle banda paise bach jate hain

i would like to see threads like DIY project mehran .

[w202]

sare govt cars prices.... is sab ka zimedar kon hai.. iske zimedar hum khud hain. kyun.. because we are selfish..

Allah kare koi new govt aye. aur halat theik hon

Do you think they only recover r&d from japanese market? Honda japan has a significant shareholding in honda atlas.

If i agree with you here i would you to find me a car remotely comparable to mehran. Something which is 2013 and runs on leaf spring.

Even assembling a new model requires training and development of the staff. Mehran can be assembled with closed eyes.

I thought u are selling ur mehran for 780. heart attack htay hotay bacha ha

LOLx shokar hy heart attack nahe aya aap ko;)

I had a Mehran for almost 8 years and drove it for more than 1,00,000 kms. Except for engine i changed almost everything in it because it needed to be changed. Clutch plate i changed twice. After every major journey (e.g Lahore, Islamabad it need repairs almost 2 to 3 thousand rupees. then suddenly one cold winter morning on a crowded road it burst in flames but thankfully it did not burnt fully. Reason unknown. Spent more than 20,000on it. In the end i sold it. Bought other cars with other type of horror and good stories. end of the story. lolz

I'm sorry but this is a biased topic.
You've added 16,000 for "Alloys and Soft tyres". A person going for a mehran will never think think of changing their car's tyre until it is used up to it's life, Unless the person has alot of spare money.
CNG is rarely available and the new EFi Mehran give's a pretty good average aswell. Also, new CNG kits are not imported now either. Freight charges also vary from city to city.
I'm not saying that Paksuzuki is doing a great job, but they're doing what they can. I mean, A single dollar now cost's nearly 100 rs. Also, there is no competition for mehran either. New companies need to come in and give Pak Suzuki some tough competition.

Just because of these funny arguments these cars r here , yes the dollar rate is 100 buttell me how imported parts mehran has ,hardly 15% the dollar rate argument is still valid when u talk about city corolla n civic

oh yes! you are right! that means costs are apportioned to Honda Atlas too. that would further increase the cost per unit.

[placebo]

After going thru the whole post I think I u dear stand ur complaint and that is that the mehran is too expensive . Is that right?

[shk_54]

Hello,

From last couple of days I have been searching for a sedan car and replace my current Mehran. So to get price idea I thought better to check the new Mehran's current cost with all my car's accessories. And believe me when I calculated all then I was like :o. Check yourself:-

Details:-

If prices keep increasing like this, then be ready for Mehran for 8 lacs very soon

Humble Request: PLEASE stay on topic & don't bring JDM vs Local or anything like that, for this purpose there are many threads on Pakwheels already. This thread is created to aware "HIDDEN" costs of car which a customer needs to pay. And PakSuzuki (and dealers/investors) still claims that "Oh jee bas 650,000 ki New Mehran hai". They simply ignore/hide the huge amount of additional Rs. 127,000/- which a poor customer need to spend later.

The dealers thingy: I would love to see any dealers or investor's comment on this thread. Many dealers post Ads in "User Cars" section claiming "Home used car" or "Personal Used Car". I just found an interesting blog article on PakWheels exposing dealers, following are few lines taken from that:-

"If you?re looking for a Mitsubishi Lancer 2005 and find it parked in a showroom, it will be classified as the ?most reliable car? and ?drive pleasure is unmatchable? and since it is ?total genuine?, hence priced at 1 Million. However if God forbid, you visit the same showroom to sell your Lancer 2005, you will be greeted with remarks such as ?Out of market? ?Maintenance too expensive? ?re-painted hood?, and since it is such a pain, the dealer will offer to ?do you a favor? and buy it off at 0.7 Million, which is unreasonable, and so is the 1 Million tag"

I hv heard that new euro II mehran has a very good mileage on petrol so keeping in view present scenario of availability of CNG installing CnG kit is not a wise idea

[shk_54]

Prices of all locally assembled cars have increased to almost double in last 6-7 years due to the depreciation of value of pak rupee so mehran only is not to be blamed Altough this thread is not abt jdm v/s local but still I'd like to say that difference between jdm and locally assembled is just like difference between landay ki marks n spencer ki shirt and a local brand new shirt New is new and you all know that jdm are not easy to resale whereas mehran is hard cash... I have seen mehran climbing over glaciers of Naraan whereas with these Mira Passo etc u can't even think about it...

[autophile]

All JDMs engines are designed for 100 RONs fuel, in Pakistan even our so called HI Octane (HOBC) is not 100 RONs. Bad fuel shortens engine life rapidly that's why people are complaining about low milage for 660cc engines.

Precisely everything in Pakistan sucks,whether its GOV,cars,prices,many people are right that its not only mehran we should be blaming but every car over here is over rated for no obvious reasons.

Dollar rose to Rs.100 from Rs.60 in last 5 years, what else obvious reason there should be??

[mfarhansabir]

^Bro do you know all international trade is done in USD....agar yhi dollar 60 ka ho tu apko Pak me JDM cars 50% less price pe milein..but then Pak suzuki will say 'Ohoo jee hum tu yahan manufacture krte hen dollar k rate se kya faraq parta hai'. Engine block se le k apki window k rubber channels tak Karachi me bante hen aur Pak Suzuki mein fit hote hen aur baad me so called japani ya Taiwani parts kehlate hen..

^^ Exactly, rise in Dollar cause price hike for JDM cars. Let take this as example:-

Lets say a JDM car cost about $1000. Then in year 2008 we had Dollar upto 60 so that price of the car in PKR rupees was 1000 * 60 = 60000 and now today dollar is touching 100. So the price of "same" car is 1000 * 100 = 100,000

Where as Local cars specially Mehran is "built" here in Pakistan. Parts of Mehran is not a problem because they all are made locally. And still Suzuki claims that they are importing parts from Japan that's why costs is so high.
