Upgrade to GLi 2015 (new shape) or 2013 (old shape)

[pwuser155272317965]

I just graduated, I have a mehran 2019. Its easy to keep, fuel average is not an issue, the part prices are not an issue. I have saved money around 1million. I can either all with my own money get a GLi old shape(the interior looks dated now), or can ask for a little bit more money from my father and get the new shape GLi. What do you guys suggest those who own it or who have owned it before. If I reserve 30000 each month from my salary just for my new car will that be enough for fuel and other maintenance ?

• Which one should I get?
• Which one will be easier to maintain?

or should I get some other car in the same budget

I recommend you keep saving money for a better update, as it seems you are not yet married and have a fairly decent model mehran which won't disturb you in near future

Salam.

Being single, your needs aren't much. But you do need a better (read safer) car than Mehran. And so I would suggest that you go for it and upgrade since you can.

[pwuser155272317965]

which do you think is a better choice for me?

[pwuser155272317965]

ali bhai I really want to upgrade to a better car

[pwuser165176643628]

I really do want what's best for you but you have a budget of 1m plus mehran money that won't give you a very clean car, so I suggest getting money from your father(if you can of course) and trying to get clean 2014 model old shape Corolla for around 28ish. You have just started your journey so try to get clean car to avoid higher costs, also Average of this gli will be 10-12 in city and 14-16 in long no more no less. Don't go for average in this car as it has little engine and putting load will damage it by knocking. Hope it helps. Best of luck brother

Try your luck finding 10th gen GLi as new shape is nearly impossible in your Budget range.

You will get a beaten up car in such budget. It's better that you change your priority towards a clean car. By clean I meant Mechanically clean, do not focus on 2-3 parts touched cars. People here keeps body genuine and keep everything at a death bed.
Look for a neat and clean suzuki ciaz instead. Very good and durable car.

[mumbojumbo]

I think you should add more options. And by that I mean hatches.
I am assuming you have a budget of around 2.5 million so you can add cars like WagonR and Swift to your list aswel. Pakwheels inspection is fairly reliable.
Good luck.

Newer Gli is very underpowered. If you can get an e140 Gli in this budget then go for it.

[pwuser162853199183]

Btw 1 million won't get you a GLi better go for Cultus EFI.

[pwuser165176643628]

E140 is good but problem is Corolla is mostly used in rent a car so imho alto vxl ags is the best option

[pwuser165176643628]

Either get brand new alto or little bit used swift, avoid wagonr as swift will be better than it in that budget

[haseeb.basharat]

Btw 1 million won't get you a GLi better go for Cultus EFI.

Nope he's going to sell Mehran and add 1 million as well.

You can also look for 8th gen (2006-2012) Civic oriel manual, (since you don't have problem driving a manual I assume). You can find a clean car within 20 lakh right now. This would be an upgrade from the cars that you're opting for, and will be within your budget.

i personally like old shape more than the new one .. both are good cars .. follow your gut feeling and find the car which is in best condition that u can find,

Dear brother. Buy a Alto VXR/VXL, lowest mileage DS maintained and zindagi kay Bullay Lootain. Rest are all Chakras. Toyota 10 years old will 98% be a private taxi. My family member sold a 2011 Black Corolla XLI (bought zero meter and maintained like a donkey) in 2022 for a colossal sum. The gents from interior Sindh literally sat in front of our gate with cash refusing to leave without the car (we were waiting for another bidder to finalize the deal and his bid was higher). Both wanted the car for taxi from KHI to interior Sindh. This is a first hand accurate account without any exaggeration. Rest, your choice
