[submayahai]

[Handsom99]

[hash4u]

chevy all the way

[usmanulamin]

for the re-sale,,chevy is nothing ... comfort=chevy ... re-sale=mehran ...

Isn't Chevy Jov/Exclusive discontinued and replaced with Spark? Chevy will give you all the comfort and safety you want. But it's a sunk cost. You probably won't be able to sell it once you buy it.

Mehran on the other hand will break your bones, but you'll be able to sell it on a 12-hour notice.

If Chevrolet Joy has no resale then can you get me a clean low-mile car under 4 lacs ?

@Thread starter

If you get a clean piece for 4 lacs go for it eyes closed, a very good car, will hardly break any money if you buy it at this price.

@submayahai:

If your top priority is comfort and saftey then go for Chevy. Mehran majorly lacks both of them. I got a new mehran a month ago in november and beleive me that my charade 1982 is much more comfortable than mehran 2011.

Mehran is an economical car no doubt, its maintenance is very cheap as compared to other cars and so its fuel economy. the new car gives me 18 km/ltr on petrol and 210 km in one cylinder of 50 ltrs which gets filled in Rs540.

My cousin had chevy 2004, its a great car comfort wise but when it comes to maintenance its damn expensive. The electronic system had a problem, we got it checked from every car shop in Islamabad Rawalpindi but it did not go away, in the end we had to sale it out. Sold it for 300000 in 2008. The dilema is that our mechanics do not understand such cars, they only know how to repair suzuki and toyota.

I never mentioned the price! But understand market dynamics, my friend. Let me break it down for you:

• Everyone isn't buying a Chevy Joy.
• Those who buy it, cannot afford to sell it at a significant loss. If you bought one for 600k, you wouldn't sell it for 400k just after a few months unless you had an extreme emergency.
• No one's willing to buy a used Chevy Joy that's run over 50,000 for 500k. And no one's willing to sell his Chevy Joy for less than that.
• Since there are no compatible buyers and sellers, the car has low trading in the market.

Did that make sense? No? Well then try negotiating with this guy:

No resale doesn't mean it will sell cheap or there are too many models for sale with no buyers, it just means no one will buy it at the offered price and no one will sell it at a loss.

A Scion or Volvo will have low resale in Pakistan but that doesn't mean you'll be able to find one at ridiculously low prices.

plus i heard chevy not good on CNG becuase MPFI system ? m i right?

I agree... faced the problem with its MPFI system. Even the company guys on main Peshawar road were not able to rectify it completely... In the end i had to sell it.

I just had a survey-2013 about Chevrolet Exclusive 2003-2004 within last month! Even talked to dealers and owners of this car. They all ranked it 4/5, This is the best car versus other small cars in this budget (3-4 lac). Its just badnaam or out of trend in pakistan due to lack of awareness. If you have a look on this car, its each part speaks that I am the one you are looking for
Spare parts: easily available now in Saddar Rawalpindi Raja dealers in Kamran Market Saddar and also some others
Engine: For engine replacement just install the kabli engine (daewoo/etc mechanic can advice) (10000 - 20000 PKR only) from saddar
Compare with mehran or other cars, its spacious than all small cars it just looks small:
Comparison of Chevrolet JOY Standard vs. Suzuki Mehran VX (CNG) | PakWheels
Chevrolet Matiz 2005 - Car Review | Honest John
(Chevrolet Matiz is its second name in some countries)

[Imran121]

no no no, I will advice you a big no for chevy..

Engine Heat problem will never go once started...

Imagine you are going somewhere with your family in, and the car stopped and no mechanic could fix it..

Comfort wise its okay but its hell expensive for maintenance and specially mechanics don't understand this brand.

Dont know what you can buy with 400K but I will advice you not to go with Chevy.

[badaryousaf]

Did you have one? or
Im living in RWP and spare parts are cheaper/less expensive than Cultus/Santro. And if engine heats up then just replace it. But in this small budget you are having luxurious ride and interior like toyota/city. Its best for normal mediocre man. And mechanics are common now here in ISB and RWP for it. This problem was old if go 4 yrs back. What you say...

[usama1]

Yar plz khuda ka wasta jan chor do crappy mehran ki...engine 1983 wala sirf efi ka addition, wo b iss saal, interior 1983 fx say b pathetic...no quality, AC cant work upto reasonable standard.

I dnt know why people always start thinking about its re sale even before buying, if u wana do a business with chevy ,then its nt feasible, but i u wana keep it for home use, no comparison with mehran.

I couldnt understand what is the point in keeping yourself in trouble, being wet in sweat and giving company to the mechanics every weekend throughout the tenure u keep mehran...... just to satisfy your soul that it has a good resale?

And most important, If your car is in extra ordinary nick, it will be sold, whatever the brand is, there is always buyers for mint cond cars ir respective of brand.
