Used car buying/selling stories

[afrasyab982]

I am eye witness. Yesterday, one of the dealer showed me 17 altis, he was asking 4.7mil final. And its front left rail( with fender) was accidental. When I told him its accidrntal, he said its not a big problem. Saw anothrr gli 2016, the front of the car was totally made, and he was swearimg it has only one palm of touching on bonut. They lies with extreme confidence. If someone is new, then he is gone.

when you are selling, tell the truth and stay firm on your demand. jis nay laini hogi lay lay ga.

recall my experience of May2024 with a car dealer/showroom when i was about to strike a deal of a City 2018 Urban Titanium extremely beautiful car. l personally checked the car and it was all fine body wise w.r.t seals and everything - bank maintained, tip top condition - few justified touchups (Karachi roads). i planned to take an expert with me to finalize and last time i asked the dealer that bonnut/roof/diggy should not be accidented for which he said sir i forgot to tell you that roof is painted - why? because, aik 'choti' si stray bullet 'hit the roof' and had a 'small' hole which was 'filled' and then roof was painted - masla koi nahi hai, chota sa issue hai aap le len car...

same dealer decreased my own car's value by over 2 lacs saying one door is sprayed and very reluctantly offered a price saying this is a big thing for a 2021 vehicle and noone will buy it as door spray is a big thing bla bla..

dealers will try to sell anything but when you go to sell yours to them, they devalue your asset to the max by identifying minutest of issues.

Its never worth to sell to dealers , or get involved in any exchange offer ,you'll lose BIG TIME, just sell on pakwheels and when you have cash try to find a car up to your requirements or budget

I lost 55k over inspections, i have stopped inspecting cars. Dont know when will i get a good car.

[kameetaha]

Are you really unable to find good cars or you are unable to accept their demand??
You have to choose one mate, set your expectations a bit good accordingly. For example, why are you looking for totally genuine car to own for next 5 years? God forbid if you get accident then what? Kindly treat cars as depreciating assets not as investment. Buy yourself mechanically perfect car with few painted panels and have peace of mind driving on road.

[afrasyab982]

Exactly, i want a car that is not hit, no seal damage/ accident, but the problem is that good cars are pricy, cars which have some problems like yesterday one, the owners are asking alot for theirs.

If the car is being minor hit it should be less pricier than geuine one, but whe i move towards genuine one they have touching but they are asking 43, lollll i am confused.

[dayrider]

The amount of clean cars in the market are quite less, the demand is quite high, hence the huge difference in price, hence your confusion. Lac do upar shouldn't matter if it tiks all your boxes, but if you can't swallow or justify that,your search may never end..... 55k on inspections..... thats insane, goes to show that you can't tell which is worth inspection and which isnt

[afrasyab982]

I am getting a very clean Gli auto 16 model in 3.8mill but the thing which scares me is its peshwar resigteration. What are the cons of peshawar registeration. Remember i will be keeping my car for min of 4 years IA

[dayrider]

Where do you live? Peshawar registeration has slower resale, but being a corolla, shouldn't matter.
As for driving around, as long as you are confident, nobody will stop you anywhere because of the reg number

[StoneCold316]

go for it.. peshawar registration is not an issue

[dms664]

toyota sure

Are tsure cars reliable?

[dms664]

What should be the price of altis 1.6 2022 model 120k driven isb registered

9 score on pw inspection.

[dayrider]

They come with warranty, so i would believe that they are reliable

[mgalaxy3]

Peshawar number will be a nightmare to sale as even people of Peshawar do not buy this number they go for isb number or then Lahore.

That maybe the reason I didn't like the mira I had,
Leaning towards Vitz/passo 2011 + model because the drive was somewhat similar to corolla
With drive by wire throttle & CVT transmission

I was amazed how can people go towards tin 660 cars.

Trust me, they don't go towards them with great enthusisasm.

1.8 Grande's jahaaz compared to altis despite having only 200cc difference. CVT gear makes huge difference. If you drive Grande, you would be spoiled, would never look at GLI again lol,

[ali.7861]

Sold my altis Didn't want but had to
Hath apne jaib mai ache lagte hain
While selling my car I tried to exchange it with vitz or a passo but the DEALERS they were constantly compare my car to other vehicles on classified sites etc or available for sale privately but the thing about those car some of them were driven over 100k with aftermarket wheels etc face-lifted with cheap bumpers etc

[ali.7861]

We have a different "breed" of people here. Everyone is just looking for a opportunity " bakra mil jye ".

Doglapan hai
Apni chez jo mithi hai phir bhi usko sona GOLD bata'te hain
Agar dusre ki chez achi hai toh ussay scrap bana'ne ki koshish karte hain

PAKWHEELS INSPECTION SERVICE EXPOSEDS

Some inspectors aren't professional ; they lack experience & knowledge. Again, nothing is perfect in this world ~ as far as my experience is concerned, inspection service in lahore is super good & 1000% useful. Just use both inspection service + denter ~ it's like a 2fa.

What the world i am living in? Scammers, scammers everywhere
[/quote]Welcome to pakistan, even some family members & so called "friends" excel in scamming. Never trust anyone ~ I learned that the hard way. In the end, getting a new car (within the budget) = peace of mind.

Alto VX on road price is around 2.4 million without on/own money
VXR is around 3million & AGS for 3.2 to 3.3 million,
Doesn't make sense if someone's buying in cash but a lot of people are financing them Via Bank
After financing a new car for 2 to 3 year the so called market price of the vehicle would be the same as the price you are paying in finace
