Most Expensive Packages of Passo (2012 onwards) in descending order are as follow:

1. Hana Plus (Sofa seats + Chocolate interior + Push start + Climate control + Front Projector lights + Back LED lights + Fog Lamps + Keyless entry + Immobilizer + Environment Purifier)

2. Hana C (Sofa seats + Chocolate interior + No Push start...? + Front Projector lights + Back LED lights + Fog Lamps + Keyless entry + Immobilizer BUT NO Climate Control)

3. Kutsorgi (Sofa seats + Chocolate Interior + Push Start + Keyless entry + Immobilizer)

4. Yururi (Same as Kutsorgi but Beige interior) (Kutsorgi = Yururi in price)

5. X L (Cut seats + back wiper, Simple remote opening of doors and key to start) (most common version in our market)

c. There is no push start in hana c before 2012 models
d. 2010 model few cars are with cut seats and climate control, but no such combination in 2012 onward cars

Very Very helpful...

Always ask for Auction Sheet before buying any imported car and then verify the auction sheet, because most of dealers/importers impot accidented or high mileage cars and repair these craps and reverse the meter, put plastics on seats, gear etc... and make them new....

[DrUsmanNawaz]

the best car to buy in terms of auction sheet...

1. Recently imported car, within a month... As you can yourself verify the auction sheet within 3 months of auction, as it usually takes 55-60 days for a car to reach lahore or islamabad... remaining days are 30.... so if a car is recently imported u can easily verify it yourself at japan-partner.com...

2. Another good option is to buy a car which is on ship or japan port, it will reach here in 20-30 days or 40 days... its verification is also very easy...

3. third option is to get the auction sheet (photocopy or picture) of a car which is more than 3 month old auctioned, or get the picture of the chassis number plate inside bonnet, post that auction sheet/pic in a thread by karnol i.e. verification of auction sheet more than 3 months, and he will verify the auction sheet on request...

4. Never give token money before verification of auction sheet...

5. Grade 4 and 4.5 cars are really good but don't underestimate R grade cars, which mostly had some part replaced in Japan e.g. diggi or fender or bonnet or a door due to insurance, but these cars are cheaper in price and usually better than 3.5 and almost always better than 3 grade cars... (I'll explain it in detail with examples some time later)

[DrUsmanNawaz]

the cars without Auction Sheet are usually (almost always) FISHY...

never to be trusted... at least i cannot trust...

[DrUsmanNawaz]

Mileage:

for 3 years old car 30-50000 kms are normal... more than that depict that the car was used for Rent a Car (but not always), which is mentioned during the auction, but the seller will never tell u...

luckily u can get 10 - 20000 mileage car in 5, 4.5 or 4 or even in R grade, that are better obviously...

point is even if the car is around 50k driven, just check the condition... 50k driven japanese car is near to new...

[DrUsmanNawaz]

One very important point is, if u are getting a car from local market, never trust fully even on the verified auction sheet and its better to get the car checked by a mechanic (but not always)...

Reason...?

1. Car damaged during transport or loading unloading and later repaired (saw a vitz with roof damaged during unloading)
2. look for accessories mentioned in auction sheet, DVD player, Alloys etc... dealer do remove these for separate selling...
3. look for the condition of tyres and check whether all the tyres are of same make and year...

Some Intelligent And EMAANDAR dealers will show u auction sheet of some other similar car e.g. Silver Passo which you will verify, but he can give u another similar Silver passo...

How to avoid this mishap...?

Check chassis no on the auction sheet and match it withe the chassis no of the car... as simple as it is....

[DrUsmanNawaz]

Now that's a good average from 1000cc car

2 other good passo's are in my view... if u are interested i can giv u the details of the seller... both the cars are on ship and u have to wait for few days approx 15 - 20 days... i have seen original auction sheets...

1. Silver passo 2012, 61 k mileage, 4 grade, demand 12, final he quoted was 1170 to me...
2. Red wine passo 2012, 38 k mileage, R grade (one part replaced in Japan, didnt remember exactly, otherwise very good car), demand 12, i didn't ask for final price, may be 1170... (Red wine is expensive color as mentioned earlier)...

The importer lives in Rwp...

Both of these are yururi package with sofa seats and push start... open market me is price me kbi nae mily gi, confirm...

Dr. Usman pls reply
Dr.Usman ماشاءاللہ you addressed every aspect very comprehensively, it shows your command & dedication.
I want to buy 1000cc for my wife she is already using 2012 Altis cruise tronic, pls. Suggest & what about fuel average in city & Ac in Rawalpindi's summer.

[jiggerzzzz]

ok i"ll get his no from my cousin and will share with you... he is country representative of this japanese auction site in PAkistan... his office is in lahore, but u just have to transfer money to him....

But one important thing i want to mention, dont u think that the prices of sofa seats are too much, i mean 15 + 23 + 29 = 67 thousands... and when the japan sale tax will apply it will further increase, and when custom duty at port will be applied it'll further increase...

So wot is the fun in getting that much expensive seats... its better to sale your X version and buy sofa seat version...

it is high yes....but im not going for the entire rear and front.....im just going for the front seats.....plus the old ones should fetch some money as well....no point in keeping them....

problem with me selling this variant and going for the other is budget....ill have to add a lot of surplus to buy a newer version...approx 4lac....and rite now im FOKUT invested everything in my biz and i cant afford to buy a new car with all the reg formalities on top.

so spending a few thousands on seats is better for my budget rather than lakhs on a new car.....

I have not used Passo yet, but ppl claim 15 km/l in city 18-20 km/l on long,,, i m tryong to import a passo, and all this information is gathered after i got ditched by a dealer in islamabad... with some loss of money as well..

in rwp, i have already mentioned 2 passo's, silver and red wine, both are good with verified auction sheets... I'll recommend u red wine...

if your budget is a bit less, u can go for suzuki alto 2012 but that is 660 cc, a very good car 4.5 AA grades, 17k mileage, not a single scratch on body, it is on ship, the person is same in both cases.... alto and passo both wud be ok for yr wife...

[DrUsmanNawaz]

Repairable how?

give it to some roadside plastic wala, who repair car lights, commonly found in car decoration bazaars or plastic bazaars... it will not cost u more than 500 Rs...
