I was surprised to see the boom in prices of all the cars, the dealer told me that last week the price of this very model of Suzuki mehran was 20,000 lesser then what it is today. However I inform my friend about the prices & give him suggestion to go for any good model of Honda or Toyota (the most famous brands in Pakistan) but later I came to know that both of these companies followed the footsteps of pak Suzuki & they also increases their car prices.

I believe cars manufactures have no other option except to increase the price to cover their manufacturing cost, here I must say one thing that the current rise in fuel & car prices as well as government restriction on the import for used cars not older than three years, all these circumstances may leads to cut down the sale of cars at its lowest level in the incoming months inside the country, lets see….
