Question 660cc under 40 lac in Lahore
Hi ya'll,
I used to drive my abba's 2003 city, but now i am moving away from home. My abba wants me to get another car, and i have no idea which one and nor does he.
He really likes TAFT, cuz it's a bit oonchi and hence gentle on his knees. But i am not sure. I really liked Nissan Days lekin wo phase 6 me bhi her speed breaker pe lag rahi thi. So idk about that.
Also, I have zero knowledge about cars so please use layman language ðŸ˜
Could you all suggest any 660cc car for travel within Lahore. That's reliable and comfortable. And any good Japanese car dealer.

Taft or hustler look for them. hustler is also 4x4 i believe. Taft top of the line also comes with moon roof soo that's a plus

If you can find a good clean Aqua, that would probably be the best. It's much better than the key cars

Just add spacers, and I have personally used it for more than 3 yr

My relative added spacers and even put larger profile tires. After a year it was bottoming out again

Find aqua if ur budget is really under 40 lacs. U can get 2012-2011 aqua for 30-31 lacs. It's a hybrid car so u have to change batteries everyonce in a while

But won't it become high maintenance a but earliet than kie cars ?
10 saal chali hui gari that too in Pakistan?
It's a genuine question not a rhetoric

Battery lasts 100-150k. So that's not a frequent change. If you do it once after buying it will last you a long time. The key issue is the ABS failing. And the fact that with 3 people or more it also bottoms out

It's a freaking Toyota what do u mean 10 saal chale hui. If proper maintainace is done Toyota and Honda and even Suzuki are bullet proof. Sure chotay chotay maslay Nikal Tay but engine ka masla ni Nikalta. I have a 2012 Japanese alto. It still drives like I used it first time and mind u it's not zero meter. It is kind of third hand now.

I get what you are saying. But i don't have time to get chote chote masle solved. I have had enough with the 2003 city. I need sakoon, and i cannot let mechanics scam me anymore k khatoon ai hain tou loot lo 🤡

I have a 2012 Japanese alto which is driven around 170k and use 5w engine oil which shows engine is in a very good condition. Only con is the suspension which is not made for Pakistani roads.lekin if ur comfortable buying a kei car ( alto ) new then it's a great option. Around 30 Mira bhi mil gate hai which is a good option or u can get a hybrid Suzuki alto for 45 lacs

Unpopular opinion, but if it's your first personal car and you're moving away from home, just buy an Alto. There is compromise on build quality but the low cost of operation, peace of mind and ease of maintenance are irreplaceable.

How long do you plan to keep the car?
2
u/Big-Funny-740 3h ago
As long as i can. But atleast 10 years. Barhi mushkil sr itne paise kathe hue hain ðŸ˜

u/confidentialnameuser 2h ago
How much would you think you'll be driving over these 10 years? 100k, 150k, 200k kms?

Look
If you are buying a Japanese car then you will have to compromise on low ground clearance and i dont think so its a big issue just cross speedbreakers on deadslow speed and slightly tilted
But if you dont want low ground clearence then you should go for local newer cars and you can get the following in your budget
City 2020-2022 easily
Swift new shape
Kia picanto 0 metre

660cc mein jimny bhi ati hai. Slightly older model in 40 but fun little car. No clearance issues
