Hi all,
Need some help. I'm looking to buy a car, and was looking at the Swift GLX initially, budget of roughly 40 lakh. But then realized for 40-44 could get City 1.5L, and if I push it to 46-47 maybe Stonic also. My reality is that I need a car for less than 1 year - will be selling it again in April as I will need the cash then to pay for Masters education abroad. As I think we all know, one of the best hedges against inflation in Pakistan right now are cars, so want to stick some money in there and, well, need a car anyway! Car resale (how quickly it can sell and resale value) is an issue as a result. Also because of my reality, I don't think I'll be booking a new model as there's no point in the car coming 4-5 months later. Do need a car quickly.
In terms of the budget 40 is ideally what I wanted to max out at, but reading about the Swift's quality issues I'd rather pay 45 for a car with decent quality than 40 for a car where the paint strips off it a crow lands on it.
Out of these three cars, which one would you recommend? I won't be using the car much, so it's not a car that'll have a lot of mileage on it by April '23. I'm coming from a Passo 2012, and after driving in Karachi for seven years would like a car that I can enjoy (so I can enjoy driving again, as I'm in Lahore now).
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance!
