Buying used cars in Pakistan can be a bit of a gamble, with lakhs of differences between two cars that look the same in photos. Price depends on model year, variant, mileage, condition, city, and paperwork. This guide covers Mehran, Alto, Cultus, Corolla, City, and Civic.
Last updated: October 2026. Every range below is an indicative asking price, not a fixed rate. Compare live listings before you make an offer.
How much does a used car cost in Pakistan?
Prices start near Rs6 lakh for an old Mehran. A used Corolla Grande 1.8 starts near Rs40 lakh. Model year, variant, condition, city, and papers drive the gap. Inspect the car, verify its record, and complete the biometric transfer before paying in full.
Used car prices in Pakistan by model

Live listings run wider because they include damaged, imported, and premium-trim cars. Treat these ranges as a starting point.
Suzuki Mehran
A decent Mehran sells for about Rs8.5-10 lakh in 2026. Rough older cars drop to Rs6 lakh, and clean ones reach Rs13 lakh. Buyers like the cheap parts and simple repairs. Check rust, engine smoke, gearbox noise, and accident repairs.
Suzuki Alto and Cultus
Local Altos from 2021 to 2023 sell around Rs22-31 lakh, depending on variant. Older Japanese imports start far lower. A new Alto costs about Rs30 lakh, so a used one near that price needs questions.
Used Cultus models from 2017 to 2023 usually sit near Rs18-32 lakh. A new Cultus starts above Rs40 lakh. Price the manual and AGS versions separately.
Toyota Corolla
Corolla holds its value better than most cars here. An older 1.3 starts near Rs24 lakh, and an Altis 1.6 manual starts near Rs32 lakh. A Grande CVT-i 1.8 starts near Rs40 lakh. Altis X automatics from 2021 start near Rs50 lakh. Check accident history and repainting before you pay a premium.
Honda City
An older 1.3 i-VTEC City starts near Rs24 lakh. An Aspire Prosmatec starts near Rs 27 lakh. A new City costs Rs47-62 lakh, so newer cars carry a big premium. Confirm the exact variant, because 1.2, 1.5, manual, and CVT cars price very differently.
Honda Civic
Civic prices spread wider than any other model here, and generation matters most. A new Civic costs Rs88 lakh to Rs1.01 crore. Older Civics sell for far less, and the 10th-generation Civic X sells for much more. Confirm the year and generation before you compare ads.
What changes the price of a used car?
Condition and paperwork move the price more than most buyers expect. Two same-year cars can differ by lakhs.
- Original paint adds value. Mismatched shades suggest repainting.
- Accident-free history adds value. Uneven panel gaps and welding marks suggest repair.
- Complete documents add value. Missing papers cut the price fast.
- Genuine low mileage adds value. Pedal and steering wear should match the odometer.
- Mechanical health matters most. Listen for engine noise and check for leaks.
How to inspect a used car before you pay
Inspect the car in daylight, and bring a mechanic you trust. Read these common second-hand car mistakes first.
- Check paint shade, panel gaps, overspray, and welding marks.
- Open every door, the bonnet, and the boot.
- Start the engine cold and listen for knocking.
- Look for oil leaks, coolant leaks, and exhaust smoke.
- Test the clutch, gearbox, brakes, steering, suspension, and AC.
- Ask for service records and compare them with the odometer.
How do you spot a meter-reversed car?
Compare the odometer with the car’s age, tyre condition, and interior wear. A car claiming 60,000 km should not show worn pedals and a shiny steering wheel. Ask for service invoices. Walk away if the seller dodges those questions.
Documents, token tax, and biometric transfer
Verify the paperwork before you hand over money. Check these items:
- Registration book or smart card, with a name that matches the seller’s CNIC
- Engine and chassis numbers that match both the papers and the car
- Token tax status, since unpaid tax stays with the vehicle
- Transfer documents and the previous ownership trail
Verify the car on your province’s excise portal. Then complete the transfer with biometric verification. Follow the NADRA biometric car transfer checklist before you pay. A sale receipt or power of attorney alone doesn’t protect you.
Scammers target used-car buyers with advance-payment requests and fake documents. Meet in a public, well-lit place. Bring a friend for expensive cars. Read these online safety tips for classifieds before you chat with any seller.
Used cars in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad
Compare listings within the same city, because registration city and local demand change asking prices. In Lahore, I’d line up same-year Corolla, City, and Civic ads before negotiating. In Karachi, look hard for rust and salt corrosion. In Islamabad and Rawalpindi, check the registration city and transfer rules.
How to sell your used car fast
A clear listing sells faster than a vague one. Write a title like “Toyota Corolla 2018 for Sale, Original Documents, Lahore.”
- Add variant, mileage, transmission, and ownership history.
- State accident, repaint, and token-tax status honestly.
- Photograph all four sides, the interior, odometer, engine bay, and tyres.
- Price a little below similar listings for a faster sale.
