What does an ETIOS diesel cost ?

Toyota Etios GD - the basic varient in my city costs 750,000/- including the road taxes...
Dont even get rear power windows in that variant..!!

 

[KRAIT]

Is this Diesel ?

Nope...Petrol but avg on highway is 18kmpl...and I don't think it comes with ABS and EBS in this model.

@op

If you have 30lac of budget i can send you this daihatsu terios , it costs around 30lac in Pakistan, got an idea what i meant ?

while this miniature below costs around 935000

 

[third eye]

way too expensive man , you can get an idea from what i posted

Of all the cars available in Pak, whats the % or types that are made in Pak Vs those imported ?

Is it to do with taxes ?

 

[Dr. NooB NinjA]

still you will hardly be able to get a suzuki cultus with it man , even the re-conditioned toyota vitz cost more than the amount you stated i.e 1025000

Also when keep in mind that the salaries in Pakistan are not accounted for inflation and almost same what indians get in indian currency then it doesnot account for what indian 6lacs equals to in Pakistani rupee , if an xy person is getting 20k in india with abc qualification and skills , the same xy with same skills will get pkr 20k in Pakistan too, so no account for inflation and exchange rate

Is it true to the extent you are trying to say it is????

Pakistan's local company named adam motors started to make variety of vehicles at relatively lower price compared to the japanese brands but the needed govt support which was not provided to them like always . Also japanese lobby was there as almost 90% of brands in Pakistan are Japanese as result the company had to shut down its operations here are some of the models the company produced
Adam revo, it came in two categories 800cc and 1051 cc

Adam boltoro

Adam zabardast

Had the government supported the company we would have seen different market dynamics, currently the dominance of japanese market and high tax has resulted in such high prices

I think cars are expensive across the border due to higher tax.

At any rate, there are plenty of decent cars within 6lac budget. Mahindra and Tata offers a great number of options.

Although i would recommend anyone to stick to maruti suzuki due to their after sales service.

Swift dzire, swift, ertega are all pretty darn good.

Full option a-star (4.5 lac) is great as well, but a wee bit small.

Currently the job market is down , even the MBAs form good universities are not getting handsome salaries. there are companies though which are hiring fresh MBAs for even 120,000 but those are mostly multi-national and few local giants like Angro, fauji fertilizers etc but there are many local companies that offer mocking figures. Yesterday i was just reading a job opportunity which required a 8 years experienced MBA and the salary which it was offering was 38k , lol i was like punching the dumb a$$ who posted that job

But considering price difference in petrol and diesel in India, I think you should go for Beat diesel version. It would come in same price bracket (a little higher).

For higher price bracket, Hyundai Verna is best in lot, its besting sale of honda city also.

Yet I heard Pakistan Auto Companies cannot fulfill the demand.

@ Topic: i20 all the way.

A wise decision but unfortunately, many Indians are not that wise when it comes to the fuel selection for their cars. They just look at the price of the diesel and petrol and decides to buy a diesel one..not taking into account the spare parts cost, high maintenance, more services, high wear and tear of tyres especially the front ones, not to mention the high initial cost of buying a diesel version. I remember a Car Guru on CNBC advising that if you don't drive a minimum of 40,000 kms per year don't go for diesel.
