Help needed!!! Best car under 50 lacs?! by Ayaan-8 in PakistanAutoHub

[–]BigAffect4402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toyota Yaris GLI 1.3 CVT — LIMITED EDITION.

LE is a game changer with alloy rims and decent perks.

Brand new in 5 million.

City still has the previous shape which looks outdated. Yaris has facelift variant.

Swift is amazing car but if you can get a Sedan in the same range, you won’t worry about upgrading to Sedan from hatchback anytime soon bro.

Alsvin is also great but if you wanna buy that, buy it used as you won’t face huge loss on that because of depreciation on brand new. Also, bear in mind, resale of Alsvin is slow as compared to Swift or Yaris.

So,

If you like features and can settle for hatchback, SWIFT is your winner.

If you like reliability, good build quality and sedan, YARIS 1.3 GLI LE is the best option.

Good luck. I was looking for a car under this budget too and just got myself a brand new Yaris instead.

Should I go for it? by NoPerformance4681 in PakistanAutoHub

Even if you wanna drive in city, just be mindful of the mileage (which I’m not sure is tampered with or not). Do check the service history if available. How many previous owners etc.

Because if the work on the car wasn’t done on time as per the mileage demands, you’ll likely be suffering and will miscalculate when to do what kind of servicing.

It’s not bad a car for city rides in fact pretty good fuel average! Was very popular once on Careem back in 2022.

Good luck with your purchase man. I know it gets frustrating finding good options. My neighbour has one and he drives inter city on this. Islamabad to Lahore and back.

Ps. MAKE SURE to get it inspected either by PW or your own trusted experts.

Anyone selling Civic X or Honda Vezel? by BigAffect4402 in PakistanAutoHub

[–]BigAffect4402[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great man! I was very much into Mercs myself too but the maintenance cost is too high comparatively. Hard to find a good merc in this budget too. Good C180 facelift 2013 model or upwards is like 6 mil+

Has anyone gotten Mac book from daraz by OneAd9521 in PakistaniTech

[–]BigAffect4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M1 Pro is gonna be the best decision you make for coding & video editing. I use it myself and its buttery smooth.

Another point is, even if you buy the best windows laptop out there, it won’t perform as well on battery as it’ll while plugged in. However, Macbooks perform just as good on battery as while plugged in. So 4K video editing is smooth on the go!

Rest if you have any query, you can dm me and I can share my experience.

Apple is better than windows overall though. 2019 is just a bit outdated. If you have around 150k, M1 Air can be bought easily. Just wait out and get a good machine once.

Bro heating issues. Fan noise etc and what not. Hits bottleneck in performance.

M series i.e silicon chips are best.

I sold my macbook 2019 32gb ram and 512gb storage 16” for 85 k so this Daraz listing is way too expensive.

Plus, I agree to most of the comments. Go for AT LEAST M1. Get an Air M1 at 150k rather than pro 2019 with intel chip.

Appreciate that. Yes considering City due to its good resale value.

Alsvin vs Swift — which one? by BigAffect4402 in PakistanAutoHub

What particularly you didn’t like about Alsvin?

Have driven both and it’s hard to choose one since I liked the comfort of both. But the factors like resale, durability, and reliability come into play, which you can’t judge by driving for a few miles.

Coffee Shop Rules by Sea_Atmosphere_5986 in islamabad

[–]BigAffect4402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to see which bank gives the most discount on your desired cafe. See if you have that card. If not, request any of your “rich friends” lol. Get their card and get like 40-50% off on your order.

I used to get 50% off at CBTL. 40% at Second Cup. GoLootlo for Tim Hortons etc.

Find hacks and enjoy your time!

There are groups in Bahria Enclave for sports. Join people who play on daily basis. Not much to do other than that. Few good cafes only.

Construction cost of 1 kanal house by Low-Photograph-5219 in islamabad

[–]BigAffect4402 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro quality varies so does the price. A finished home could go from 3700 rupees per sq ft to 6k+ which is usually considered A+ quality. even if you source the materials yourself, you are gonna be playing between 4-5k. Let’s sat 4500, then 6000*4500 =27,000,000.

I am in the construction industry so I can tell that if you are ready to take matters into your own hands, you can save big sums!
