I ave been looking for a bigger 4x4 for nearly a month. Started with 92 5 door parado, priced 11-12.5 lac, cons: 2.4TL engine is not reliable+older look.

Made up my mind for a Parado 96- 3 door. Found one without bodykit and nonalloy wheel for 14 lac. another for 15.5 but found it smaller, and 3 door inconvience.

Settled for a Surf 96. priced 15-17lac. SSR-x - SR-G intercooled. powerful 1KZ. Popular worldwide. lots of spare. bigger n comfortable.

Your Parado is nice and priced right. But do take a look at Surf 96. And do tell me if there are any (for sale) in Isb/Rwp

[gttx]

@turbo lover. well you are right. after 3 door prado surf is the most logical option. but then i intend to use this as a city driving thing. dont want a big ride that remains empty all day except on weekend perhaps.

Surfs these days are cheap. there is one 96 or 97 model cant remember which silver color at motormania. guys asking 22lac. Stupid man. Baboromar here has one 2001 model for 20lac.

then i asked him about 2001 model and he goes on to say that will be around 25-27lac bcz of smokeless engine (1KD FTV). Why not buy from babar and sell here in isloo??? thats a thought. Or the guy thought i had no info ( i guess he doesnt know that there exists a site called pakwheels)

the acceleration on this baby is very nice. touched 120km effortlessly. i think full 180km meter touch capability hai iss ANIMAL mein. Had a difficult time resisiting my urges to floor the beast in traffic.

@gttx
you can get 96model 5door prado wid body kit in 17-18lacks
my uncle has just bought 1 in 18 lacks.
come to karachi get da car and drive it 2 your city

[gttx]

@vickybhai. when did your uncle buy this??? i am actually buying this for CITY use. Coming & Going to office. Just want a safe and compact ride. Surf and 5 doors are just 2 big to park in the twin cities.

Traffic is crazy and parking space scarce. Whats a poor sould to do in these times.

[CrashD]

@gttx yup been looking around town for the same one just as u iam lookin for a 2000 or 2001
3 door RZ in black but havent come across any yet liked the RED RZ at muree rd but was a 97 i travel to an fro from isb to hattar everyday and need a prado or surf as got a 97 5 door but shes old now so hence need replacing will let yaa know if i come accross any RX or RZ goin 2 peshawar this week will keep yaa posted wht i find thr

[gttx]

well prado 3 door doesnt come in BLACK. But i did see 98 prado in KHI that was black but then it looked repainted. see pictures.

the guy was asking 16.5lac for that. Saw it like 2 months back in KHI.

the CAPITAL CAR guy has 2001 with smoke free engine Silver color KHI registered but the car is in bad shape. looks nice from outside but interior is messy. Demand was 21lac.

Drove both the silver one and this blue one and found this to be a more promising ride.

@all. any 1 here know when 96 models started production. as per website www.amayama.com it was May 96. is that right???

that guy had two black prados. interiors were excellent. extrior looked repainted. had sticker / monogram type thing on sides saying RX TypeS.

Tyres were aaalooo. 35k plus on meter. Its still there showroom is CITY CARS or CARS CENTER on Tariq Road.

[hondafunda]

The car is no doubt good but price is high for a 3 door. Should not be more than 1.4 million. Can get a 5 door in 1.7million

[gttx]

15 lac hai kum kerwa key

[CrashD]

i like what i see thnx will check out this one if its repainted then aint goin near it here this 97 RZ in u.k for 5000 pounds and check out the bonsaicars.co.uk website will see loads of japs aution cars there with prices and grade here is also a 2003 LC4 RZ in short for 13000 pounds now do ur maths 11lakh 70 duty for around 25 lakh u get a new shape 3 door

[gttx]

but then where will i get 10 lacs more

[janbaz]

hello bro... three door has very less resale n even dealer feel it very difficult 2 sale.( as i have a bitter experience).... get a prado which is registered n that 2 five door.... blue color u can get in 17 lacs very easily.... i hav a 3 door in ma mind which is 2003 white color n demand was 20lac but it was accidented from left side... these thngs dont matter much in jeeps till the time they r not totalled..... i wud advise u 4 five door in ne case otherwise Shock ka koi mul nhin
