The Five Laws FORMULA of Buying a Used Car (Scam-Proof Method)
Let’s make this official: These steps are now "The Law" for buying a used car! If followed religiously, the chances of getting scammed will be negligible.
The Five LAWS
1) Do Your Homework (Mandatory):
a) Study the car model, market prices, and common issues.
b) Check several cars in the market to understand what a well-maintained car looks like.
c) Equip yourself with knowledge before stepping into negotiations.
2) Inspection Service (In Presence) [Mandatory]:
a) Hire a reliable inspection service (e.g., PakWheels Inspection).
b) Be present during the inspection to ensure transparency and get firsthand insights.
3) Hire an Experienced Mechanic [Mandatory]:
a) An expert mechanic can detect issues that even professional inspections might miss.
b) Always have their opinion before making a final decision.
4) Don’t Rush, Be Patient [Mandatory]:
a) If a seller tries to rush you, consider it a red flag.
b) No car is truly unique, and missing one deal is better than buying a problematic vehicle.
c) Take your time to make an informed decision.
5) Document Verification via MTMIS and Excise Office [Mandatory SUPER IMPORTANT]( IFTHE CAR IS GOOD AND THERE IS A PROBLEM IN ITS PAPER THEN U ARE DEAD. So I added this point too:
a) Check the car's details on the MTMIS website (ownership, tax status, etc.).
b) Visit the excise office and hire a trusted agent to double-check the documents.
c) If the file is submitted excise office, they can verify it.
d) If the file is on hand, they can still confirm its authenticity.
NOTE: All these LAWS are mandatory to follow, NOTHING IS OPTIONAL!!!!

This is the law of buying a used car, I hope pakwheelers will appreciate me for this( not necesaary). It seems simple but to combine these steps it took me hours of reading the forum. And it will be very very helpful for begineers like me. But implementing this law is the real game. Again Thanks alot to every PAKWHEELERS here on this forum. They are very generous in giving valuable information.
( Still open for your valuable suggestions and corrections in this LAW)
