Pros & cons of Karachi reg car in Islamabad?

[bango]

@ Oreo2009

Kindly clear out the ambiguity. Do you mean to say that humid climate of the coastal cities have absolutely no affect whatsoever on cars? Or is Karachi just an exception? Because I know for sure that cars in Krasnodar catch rust far easily than the ones in Moscow. The cars at Klaipeda are more rusty than the ones from Vilnius. And the list goes on.

What about Multan registered car in Islamabad, i pay my tokens in Rawapindi post office. I think its affiliated province to province, like Punjab city cars token can be paid through any punjab city regardless of city you live, within Punjab.

I guess problem arises when paying token for different province cars.

Is that so?

I don’t know the square kilometer/area of

Krasnodar

or

Klaipeda

you are talking about, but if you have ever been to

Karachi

, then u must have some idea about it!!. Cities you are talking about seems to be very very small in area (and small coastal city would offcourse be close to sea) as compared to

Karachi

. The cars only that are very very close to sea for e.g in few areas and blocks of

Clifton

and Defence are bit effected. The rest are perfectly fine. The overall population of

Karachi

is around 2 Crore and the population of Defence and

Clifton

would not be more than 500,000 altogether. The percentage of affected cars comes to 2.5%. The rest of 97.5% cars are perfectly ok. The overall Karachi is spread over 3400 square kilometers double than Lahore which is 1700 square kilometer and offcourse much much bigger than Islamabad in population and square kilometer.

My father bought a Japanese Brand New car in 1988 and after 21 years its still totally rust free. I repeat my words, its still totally rust free and in original paint. I bought another Paki Made car in 2002 and after 7 years it is still totally rust free. I again repeat, its still totally rust free.

See

ur

own words “I may be generalizing, and there would be people coming with arguments like ''My uncle has a 99 civic in

Karachi

, and it is totally rust free''.

Yes u are generalizing a lot, come to specific point and that is the cars within the range of 5-7 km of sea do have rust impact.

But besides that, other factors while buying a used car, needs to be considered alot as well.

The plant of Indus Motors, (Corollas & Cuore), Suzuki Motor Company (all suzukis) , Cheverlet Joy and many other auto makers are situated at Port Qasim,

Karachi

, which is just very close to sea!! Cars are manufactured and stored there for many months!! Secondly, all the imported used vehicles (including Belta, Vitz, Platz etc etc) come to Kemari Port, Karachi and remain their for months and sometimes years too, unless they are cleared by customs, which also catches rust!! Such vehicles are transported after clearance to different cities of Paksitan!!

so u mean to say that one should not buy those one too.

Little knowlege is dangerous thing. I suggest if u do some homework, or come here too see the reality.

The used cars in Karachi are cheaper as compared to the other parts of the countery and the main reason is that the trading activity of cars in Karachi is the most. More sellers are here and more buyers are here , then any parts of the country.

We all be seeing u pulled off da road on every check post here....!

[dew_drops17]

I also think the car should be registered of that city.
We got a car of Khi registered and we r in lahore and after sometimes we lost document then it bcom an a big issue to take car to khi for new documents etc.also resale problem.so these issues can b face by u

@Oreo - 5-7 kilometers? Is that the maximum area of impact of humid coastal climate? Didn't it seem funny to you yourself when you were typing it?

At Khadeji, 60km from Karachi, on indus super highway, the gas pipelines are in constant danger of rust and have to be regularly treated. Come on!

As for Krasnodar and Klaipeda - well, they were mere examples. New York, Tokyo, Rio Dejaneiro. 13 of worlds 20 largest cities are coastal, and follow the same rust and corrosion trend.

Anyway, I'm not really in a mood of arguing, so I'll just leave it here. Hats off to your father's car - but as I mentioned in my earlier post, the buyer may not be lucky enough to get his hands on that specific ride.

The bottom line is, if you're in Karachi its convenient to have a car with Karachi number plate. The same goes with other cities.

[oreo2009]

Bango!! I have seen rust on many things in lahore and islamabad too!! are they coastal areas!!!!!!! offcourse not, we are talking about cars here not the pipelines!! I can give you examples of 100s of pipelines passed through the seas, without having rust. The gauge of the steel or ms sheet matters alot!! Offcourse humidity in coastal areas is there, but areas 5-7 kms away from sea are not affected much!! Open your mind and come to KHI, i will show u the reality. Reading in newspapers or seeing on TV is something else and seeing in real is a different thing. You can have your car in a good condtion for almost 20 years! and after that even the engine and other parts of the cars are also so much depreciated as well!!, then a bit of rust dont matter alot.

The only reason, you (punjab and nwfp) people buy khi reg. cars becoz, u get them in cheap rates, becoz, here cars are cheap due to more demand and supply condition! first u buy then u beat about the bush!! its better not to buy the car of any other city!! Here, we never prefer to buy other city car becoz, KHI itself is self sufficient in used cars.

I already said that for other cities, people should prefer to buy the car of same city. Though rwp/isb is too small, they might not have enough chance, they may opt for other city car (due to their majboori)

[bango]

@Oreo

You just wouldn't give up, would you? )))

Let me put it in very simple words;

Humidity is one of the major reasons of corrosion and rust. Iron/Steel objects (including cars) are more prone to rusting/corrosion in a very humid city than in a lesser humid city.

Its as simple as that. I wonder if it is hard to understand, or hard to accept?

What about Multan registered car in Islamabad, i pay my tokens in Rawapindi post office. I think its affiliated province to province, like Punjab city cars token can be paid through any punjab city regardless of city you live, within Punjab.

@ archon

!! Thanks for your comments!.......... I was away for some work

For Bango!!

…………….. Infact for those who have not been to

Karachi

and those who just go by books, they dont know the reality!! One day Mr. Bango will compare the quality of sea ships of

Karachi

with other cities (LOL) , then later he will say that dont ride on ships, because ships are made of Steel and they float on Sea and due to humidity in sea they will get rusty and full of corrosion.! Come on baby!! Just try to evaluate the impact in percentages!! Being a resident, let me tell you everybody, the overall impact of rust on

Karachi

vehicles is between 3-5 % at maximum!! Yes one should consider, other factors as well. U don’t have enough knowledge buddy and

ur

just arguing. Also the characteristics of every sea is different from other and so is the impact of sea on climate and other things.

Tomorrow u will also say that in coastal cities, there is more wind and due to wind there is more dust on cars, so one should not buy

Karachi

registered cars!! Come on don’t make

ur

own logics!!! Don’t misguide others. The 95% cars of

Karachi

are ok! (if the car is not of 5-7km of sea)! And not affected to rust. Though I cant give you the guarantee for 100 years rust free. Even the level of rust and humidity varies a lot from one coastal city to other coastal city.

Bango!!!

U never answer my this question!!! , why u people buy brand new cars that are being made and stored in Karachi at Port Qasim Car Plants, which is very very close to Sea! Why u buy imported used vehicles like Vitz and Belta that come at Kemari Port Karachi and stored there for months and years, unless cleared by customs!! Why u people buy used cars coming from

Dubai

(where they even stored for many months and years) (though almost all uae states are coastal cities, and sea is in very close proximity).

[oreo2009]

Must read for all!!! Especially for Bango!!

Let me educate you a bit Bango!

khi is big city, and all the surrounding areas people register their car in khi...for eg, ppl living in hyd, sukkur, nawabshah even rahim yar khan register their vehicles at khi and trade off their vehicles in khi. so buying a khi regtd car never means its driven in khi. on the other hand, many ppl prefer not to buy any other province regtd car in khi.
Offcourse problems in police checking are there and resale will be lesss. Its a general scenario everywhere.
Besides all odds, one reason is the prestigious value as well, which a LHR/ISB/etc vehicles cant give to Karachi Drivers.

For state-wise resale value, UAE, is the closest example...ppl living in

dubai

never buy cars from other states like ajman, ras al khaimah or fujairah....i thinks its an international trend...

People buy Karachi registered cars in lahore Islamabad and other cities, because they get these cars at cheap rates as compared to their own cities (Infact, all the industrial products in Karachi are cheapest as compared to whole country) Its not due to rusty whether conditions. Just they buy in good rates, as the used cars in

karachi

are cheapest, due to heavey sale and purchase activity, as its the industrial hub of

pakistan

and the city of highest population. Cars in khi are more so sale is more too, however the small cities have less sale and purchase acitivity. The richest people, industrialists and owners of majority of renowned companies live

here and they keep on changing the cars so frquently .All multinational and national companies give cars to their staff, which they write off and sale after its period of 5 years. All the imported cars come to

Karachi

Port

and come in the city at cheap rates. Not the cars, but all the imported items are cheap in

Karachi

as compared to other cities............ are they rusty too???................ lol. Just read news and study economics. The greater the demand and supply, the more the trade and offcourse less the price would be.

One of my friend sale out his Honda Civic Karachi registered number in

Lahore

becoz he got good money in

Lahore

as compared to

Karachi

. This means that people are openly willing to buy

Karachi

registered cars at the prices more than

karachi

. Its also the fact that the price of used cars in Lahore Pindi/Islamabad etc are high as compared to KHI, because both are comparatively small cities (Lahore=less than half of KHI) and ISB/Pindi (far less than quarter of KHI) thus have less than half and less than quarter sale and purchase activitiy as compared to Karachi. ...........Its very simple.......... !!!

karachi

is so big that more than 2 lahores (population wise and area wise) can be fit in

Karachi

very easily in it. Only the areas too close to sea have the impact of rust.

Since the most expensive cars of

Pakistan

are always here in

Karachi

, robbery of cars here too, such cars illegaly go to either

Quetta

........... then

afghanistan

or they go to

Peshawar

....... to tribal areas. Later some people bring those stolen cars to isb and lhr probably thru false number plates or false documents or whatever. Since

karachi

is far away from

lahore

and islamaabad, thats why it becomes hard for

Karachi

police to find that particuar car. I myself seen most of the vehicles in

Quetta

interior and NWFP are of

Karachi

and most of them were illegal.

I wish those who have little knowledge, must open their eyes and know the realities!! This is my last reply on this

thread!!

@Oreo -

Humidity=(n.) Moisture;
Moisture=(n.) water droplets in the atmosphere

Water + Oxygen + Iron =]] rust (Fe2O3)

More moisture =]] More Rust

Karachi is more humid than, for instance, Faisalabad - so iron objects in Karachi will be more prone to rust than in Faisalabad.

I am afraid I can not simplify it any further. I explained it to my 7 years old nephew, and even he understood. So I'm pretty sure you'll understand it too.

Trust me, no one is blaming you for the fact that Karachi has a more humid climate. Its a fact, just live with it.

Having rustier cars doesn't make any city a bad city. Having rust-free cars doesn't make any city a better city.

[needz]

Wow, Where are we heading for? What i sense more is defending and wining of one's city rather Daewoo Racer itself being the topic. ]] " Lahore vs Karachi " <

Agree to Bango that " Having rustier cars doesn't make any city a bad city. Having rust-free cars doesn't make any city a better city "
