^ The car im taking about is Honda maintained, with history at honda

Btw in my case its opposite, Im seeing passo came across the City, and all the Passos im seeing are meter reversed or repaired cars, Btw yesterday i went to see a XF smary key wali Passo Golden color (lovely color), around 40k driven diggi, rear fender and door were badly fixed (desi jugaru kaam).

My cousin's city was also maintained at Honda Quaideen. This service history is nothing. If you send your car for tuning / service / oil change, it appears in honda records. that is the thing which is usually done at 3S dealer. They will simply stamp the warranty card.

As far as 2 numberi is concerned, they are everywhere in every business. We just need to apply caveat emptor theory.

So after going through that city, i simply stopped looking at local cars especially those at showrooms. So asked my neighbors to arrange a passo. I visited almost every showroom at Khalid bin waleed road for passo. There was no car less than 925K at that time. (All with touchups, which was not a problem for me). My neighbors shown me the two cars, out of which the one which i own was approved by my mechanic. I bought that in 875K, with the dent as it is. He offered me repair of body at his cost, but i just preferred bumper repair. On its roof, there are few dings (due to unloading at port), which can be removed by dry denting without any effect on paint. I have left those as they were. My car is mechanically 100% okay, as 56K driven in Japan is nothing.

Allah buchayy in car dealers kay shur say. Let me share my experience at Jail road Lahore when I wanted to buy 660cc suzuki kei car.

My uncle who is professor referred me to his close friend who has showroom at jail road. When I entered the showroom I saw kei and a chotta told me its price is 850k. Then I went inside the office and uncle's close friend said "beta this car is for 900k but don't worry I will give you discount".

Another friend's friend has a kei at his showroom in jail road. It was parked in basement and friend's friend said its 30k driven while its interior was saying more than 130k. He said let me take it out and when chotta drove it from the basement to ground floor, atleast one liter of water gushed out from the silencer. friend's friend:) said "see the water, car's engine is so strong because its only 30k driven.

A relative bought a zero meter reborn from a close friend's showroom at jail road. After 2 months he took the car to honda authorized dealer coz of issues in automatic gears. He was informed that the gears were repaired 4 months ago. Infact "close" friend had rented zero meter reborn to a bank executive for few months and then sold to my relative as zero meter.

Another guy bought a zero meter cultus from authorized dealer in lahore and when he was driving back the car to his home in gujranwala, he noticed that headlights are not aligned. Next morning, he showed it to mechanic only to find that original headlights were replaced with 2 number china lights.

[Wanderlust]

And when I went to take delivery of my boon from truck adda, I noticed few locally assembled zero meter cars badly damaged during transportation. One mehran's driver side pillar collapsed. A corolla's diggy smashed. I don't think authorised dealer will replace the cars to the purchaser.

So even there is no surety that zero meter locally assembled cars are zero meter or unaccidented.

[chinyoti]

haha stories stoires, So its simply better either buy a car eyes closed, or avoid meter reading and body, simply see if it drives well get it

@raza bhae, Yes your right about the dealers stamping everything, But its like apnei ghar ki gari type, Roof dents and dings and dangs dont matter honestly. But a major accidencted car and that too expencive is not right, I know cars repaired in Japan are better repaired close to new, But they should atleast be priced resonably.

Im going to show the City to my family or else theirs a silver passo 4.5 grade, grey interior (very rare) HIDs that car come in to my budget if i extend another 20-30k.

But a 900k Passo im not sure about it :S Since my initial budget was 6.50 lacks, Im just going up and up, So i guess i need to limit my self to 8 and 8.25. Or else im just going up nd up.

About the japan car maintainence thing, its like when you purchase a new car you get a 3 year waiver after that you need to spend about 100k to 150k Japanese Yen on ur cars maintainence renewal. With out that you cannot drive, And then this is valid for another 2 years. and so on.

Thats why Japanese cars are in best possible condition. any tuk tuk you cannot drive it unless you get it fixed.

Since its under 1000cc, yearly tax would be 1000rs. And withholding tax 75% is around 750 so total 1750. 10yr old registrd cars are exepmtd from witholding tax

This is the correct figure for all cars upto 1000cc, Btw you dont need an agent to do this, Simply go a week or two before its due you find an empty line or take a female member of your family (female lines are mostly empty) and it can be paid in less then 5 mins. Just take the registration book along.

Just check if your nearest NBP branch takes token tax payments.

You can pay it at Denso hall branch, Ph2 branch, SITE (habib bank Chowrangi branch) rest im not sure about. and yes the excise office too.
