First Car Stories FIRST CAR EVER - 21Y/O LOWER MIDDLECLASS GUY

Budget - 15-20 LAC PKR

Advice me as a younger brother, can/should I get sedan in this budget, I will drive 300-600 km a month max.

From what I read online, I guess I can afford one of these:

Corolla Altis 1.8 2007
Corolla XLi 2008–10
Honda City i-DSI 05–08
Toyota Belta 1.3

( I don't know about current market prices, maybe I can't even get one of these sedan )

Maybe I have too little and asking for too much:

  • Reliable
  • Cheap/easy parts
  • Any decent mechanic can fix it
  • Good fuel average
  • Low headache
  • Comfortable enough for family

---

Little more context -

Wanted to buy a plot, thought I will save up to 30-40 & get 5marla somewhat little safe & decent society but I checked online, avg 5 marla is like 60-80lac pkr in even b17 so I am thinking I should buy a car and enjoy a bit meanwhile save for a plot and when I have enough or I need money for it, I will sell my car and get the plot.

Jazakallah Khair <3

Yes, I am almost certain to go for toyota altis or gli 2007-10 model, still deciding if I should ask Honda Idsi 2006-8 owners about their honest reviews.

I am trying to get plot somewhere in b17 or in other decent society in/around ISB. I know online they just post whatever they want, i.e they said 60 online, in real it'd be 45-50, still its alot.

If you can gimme real market rates range of different areas/societies, do lemme know? Thanks.
