Used cars you can still buy for less than Rs500,000 in Pakistan

WEB DESK: Car prices in Pakistan have witnessed a significant increase in recent years, leaving limited to no options for people seeking affordable vehicles.

The cheapest brand new automatic 660cc car in Pakistan now costs up to Rs3 million, making it challenging for budget-conscious buyers in 2023.

Here are five used cars that you can still buy under Rs500,000 in 2023:

Suzuki Bolan

Surprisingly, there are still a few viable choices available in the second-hand car market for less than Rs500,000. For instance, a 1999 Suzuki Bolan can be purchased for as little as Rs420,000.

This 800cc popular “carry van” is currently listed on various online car buying and selling platforms at this price point.

Suzuki Mehran

Similarly, a Suzuki Mehran VXR 2000 model is available for as low as Rs420,000. Known as “The Boss,” this 2000 model is renowned for its easy maintenance and the availability of spare parts, making it a practical choice for buyers.

Honda Civic

Additionally, a 1986 Honda Civic can be acquired for as low as Rs350,000. Despite the challenge of finding spare parts compared to the popular Mehran and Bolan models, this car is suitable for family use.

However, familiarity with markets and mechanics can mitigate the spare parts issue if one finds a well-maintained Civic 1986.

Suzuki Baleno

For those interested in sedans, a 1999 Suzuki Baleno can be purchased for around Rs470,000. Suzuki Baleno, discontinued before launch of Suzuki Liana, remains a popular choice for families due to its reliability and association with the well-known automaker.

Daihatsu Charade

Furthermore, the Daihatsu Charade 1988, available for as low as Rs340,000, has been a favourite among Pakistanis, especially among young enthusiasts and racers.

Many enthusiasts upgrade, tune, and restore Charade models, appreciating their easily replaceable engines.

It’s important to note that the price of these cars depends on their condition and how well the owners have maintained them over the years in Pakistan.

While these vehicles come at a budget-friendly price, it is highly advisable to bring a professional mechanic along to assess the cars thoroughly.

Conducting research and seeking advice from car professionals can assist buyers in finding a great value-for-money vehicle for less than Rs500,000.
