I'm needed you people's opinion about making a choice between the following:

1) FAW X-PV (used for around 8 lakh or plus)
2) Bolan (6 to 7 lakh)
3) Suzuki Every, Daihtatsu Hijet etc.

What should I go for? Main purpose is Pick and Drop etc and some personal use as well.
What do you guys think is the right option? I'm inclined towards FAW XPV as it is 1000cc and better than Bolan apparently. Any users of FAW or someone who knows the downsides?

If reselling is important for you then I think you should go for Bolan as FAW, even though better, has no resale value.
I too once had to make this decision and I opted for Ravi 2012 to give to my driver for pick and drop.

Um, no resale is not an issue for me as I will not sell it for 3 years at least.

What will happen after 3 years?

Someone like myself will buy it jisko zarurat hui and by then probably probably InshaAllah I will recover it's cost through Pick and Drop. No?

Sure choice is yours... In my case I went for suzuki so its resale will be bonus plus its repair is dirt cheap.

It is a wise decision too but on weekends I might personally use it for my own trips and sair sapaata and with FAW I can keep the fair price a little higher than Bolan for Pick and Drop because this has AC for front/rear and some other perks of a mini van.

So yeah, what I conclude is that Bolan is a very nice option for business purposes like P&D but if one wants to do P&D as well as some personal use plus wants to keep it for 3,4 years, FAW is the choice to me.

Yup as I said choice is yours. Mine is not to be used personally and solely for business purpose but if you want to also use it for personal deeds then it will be good to utilize AC etc in FAW.
