[Salarzae]

@mohtash/goodperson and others....

Common guys, it seems I wasted those few hours writing and summing it all up. Instead of answering all those answers, I think first you all have to read it, I can't go on writing it up again.

Sorry if I was rather harsh.

@mohtash

As for the price, it cost AED 66K with these options, 76K will get you the GT, which has paddle shifters, adaptive swivel HID projector lamps, 18" wheels, 9 speaker rockford fostage sound system with subwoofer etc etc..... .

[fastoriel]

salarzae ... tell me abt the buick ... do people like the buick in uae ... ? ...

[Salarzae]

@f_o

There is no such thing as Buick in UAE, only Caddy n Chevy n Hummer available from GM

[mohtashimiqbal]

76 AEd will get me this thing......and that is without duty......means CNF price is 1500,000 pkr for this godess...

cant import it on special regime as it is above 1800cc

so for the normal regime i would have to pay 111% duty...and would not get ne depriciation.....

the cost goes above 3200k in pak now..........woooh.....

the price you mention is the price of the brand new or the used......?? as i would have to pay the duty on the price of the manufacturer...

please anwser this one last question of mine....and thanks a lot.

@mohtash

This is brand new, not used. You'd be better off by buying it directly from Japan as prices in UAE are ridiculously high due single family monopoly system for each and every brand. Lets say it might cost 45~50K as at launch the GT used to sell for 66K.

If you still want one, you better try Japan and remember its not called Lancer in Japan, instead Galant (Fortis). You can have even more options then this one and will still be cheap to get it to Pakistan.

I'd have preferred other colors, the Best ever color is also available there which is called something like Burning Rotor, which feels like red-ish orange color.

Loved it and great review!

@Salarzae

Would you choose this over a Camry or Accord? I know they are of different classes but still.. ?

[Salarzae]

@Rawfay

Its totally different class.... but to make it easy for you I'd say I'll throw out the Camry outa windows and let Accord and Lancer fight over my emotions..... as far as value for money, options list, drive factor is concerned Lancer wins hands down.

[mohtashimiqbal]

thanks a lot dude.........i wuz searching for this vehicle at the uss auction in al the lancer cateories........cudnt find it......now ill give gallant fortis a try........

thanks a lot dude.......ill hit up with the japan auction market prices for this car in a while........

[Salarzae]

[Salarzae]

[Salarzae]

The rear leg room is best in class, infact almost similar to higher category cars, as I mentioned the older generation Accord and Camrys

[Salarzae]

This is not a key but just a knob to start the engine. The key is just a transmitter, once you are in proximity of the car, you just need to sit, twist the knob, alive comes the engine and there you go....

This is the key...... or transmitter

[mohtashimiqbal]

yup i got it.......

2007 is available under 1200k yens ~ 1 million PKR
2008 is available under 1400k yens ~ 1.1 million PKR

cool....now this thing woud cost me @ 25 lac PKR in pakistan.....

and i m talking about the top graded under 5000 km driven cars....

I MITE BE GETTING IT..soon inshallah...!!! thnks bro .......

i wuz a die hard over of evo......but itz costlier and a bit expensive to mantian econo wise....but this thing does it all........a nice engine......and almost the same looks......

bur ill still miss the intercooler thing on the hood of the evo tho... but that can be managed by a lil ricing up

@mohtashim

Wish you best of luck mate! (y)
