Step 1 — Set Your Budget First
Before looking at any car, decide your maximum
budget. Include these costs:
- Car price
- Registration transfer fee (approximately
Rs. 15,000–25,000) - Initial maintenance and repairs
- Insurance (Rs. 30,000–80,000 per year)
Pro tip: Keep 10–15% of your budget aside
for unexpected repairs after purchase.
بجٹ طے کریں — گاڑی کی قیمت کے علاوہ
ٹرانسفر فیس اور مرمت کا خرچ بھی رکھیں۔
Step 2 — Choose the Right Car for Pakistan
Best used cars for Pakistani roads:
- Toyota Corolla — Most reliable, parts
easily available everywhere - Honda Civic — Great performance,
slightly expensive parts - Suzuki Alto/Mehran — Budget friendly,
very cheap to maintain - Honda City — Perfect balance of comfort
and running costs - Toyota Yaris — Modern features,
fuel efficient
پاکستان میں سب سے قابل اعتماد گاڑیاں:
ٹویوٹا کرولا، ہونڈا سوک، سوزوکی آلٹو
Step 3 — Where to Find Used Cars
Best platforms to search:
- PakWheels.com — Largest car marketplace
in Pakistan - OLX Pakistan — Good variety,
negotiate carefully - Carmudi Pakistan — Verified listings
- Local dealers — Visit in person,
inspect carefully - Facebook Marketplace — Good deals
but verify carefully
Step 4 — How to Inspect Before Buying
Never buy without a proper inspection:
Body Check:
- Look for uneven panel gaps
- Check for repainted areas
(different shade under sunlight) - Check all doors open and close properly
- Look for rust underneath the car
Engine Check:
- Start cold — listen for unusual sounds
- Check oil — should be clean, not black
- Look for smoke from exhaust
- Check all fluid levels
Test Drive:
- Drive on both smooth and rough roads
- Test brakes firmly
- Check AC cooling properly
- Test all windows and electronics
گاڑی خریدنے سے پہلے مکمل معائنہ کریں:
باڈی، انجن، اور ٹیسٹ ڈرائیو لازمی ہے۔
Step 5 — Check the Documents
Always verify these documents:
- Original registration book (book)
- CNIC of seller matches book
- No pending challan/fines
- Check stolen vehicle at excise office
- Token tax is paid and current
دستاویزات چیک کریں — اصل رجسٹریشن بک،
سی این آئی سی اور چالان ضرور دیکھیں۔
Step 6 — Negotiate the Price
Tips for negotiating:
- Research market price on PakWheels first
- Point out every defect you find
- Never show too much excitement
- Be ready to walk away
- Offer 10–15% below asking price
قیمت کم کروانے کا طریقہ — ہر خرابی کی
نشاندہی کریں اور بازاری قیمت پہلے معلوم کریں۔
