Used car buying/selling stories

Losing grip on 70km/hr is insane. Corolla guys! Plz dont praise corolla grip atleast. My tires thread is good, suspension best, brakes newly genuine installed, no codes in ecu. My trust on corolla is gone, 4 million ca losing grip on 70kmhr speed on normal driving.

Which tires are you using and what's their manufacturing date.

Lol. Itna senti na ho. Lots of cars lose grip when you force them too. They can't defy physics. Turning in at 70 onto an uneven surface, probably gravel or slightly sandy, and then braking which gives way to inertia ,which in end swings the rear end out. Even a mercedes would behave in the same way

Karachi Roads: Are Hatchbacks & Sedans Still Practical in 2025

Hey fellow PakWheelers, I’ve been thinking about this lately, and I’d love to get your honest opinions on how suitable small cars really are for Karachi’s current road and traffic conditions. We’ve all heard the usual advice: “660cc hatchbacks are perfect for city driving.” “Fuel efficiency and easy parking make them ideal.” But when you actually drive around this city every day — things look a bit different. :construction: Let’s Talk Road Conditions: Massive potholes, uneven roads, and …

Please share your experiences of driving in karachi's roads & which vehicle is the best for karachi in your opinion!!?

Use good quality fuel first as mentioned by dayrider. Mix some high octane and observe performance. If it does not improve, visit @dani_kk in Islamabad G13 if possible.

Does anyone here feels like asking/demand are 300k - 600k more then actual worth of some vehicle ??

[dayrider]

Yes, its decreasing though, as ads aren't free anymore, hence people who want to sell put up an ad, not like before

Pakwheels ads aren’t free anymore? Woah

[ali.7861]

Most of them are PSUEDO sellers,
Want to valuate their vehicle i guess but when show guneine interest in buying they'll claimed it's sold but the ad wouldn't be down for weeks or months!!

I think its one free ad per year in every category

[dms664]

Featured ads are paid rest are free with some number restrictions. Sufficient for casual sellers but routine or business sellers they have to pay.
