Key Market Findings
Toyota, Suzuki & Honda account for most visible market activity, showing strong concentration in three brands.
📉 Automatic premium is massive: median automatic = PKR 4.9M vs manual = PKR 1.47M (~3.3× difference), largely because automatics skew newer & pricier models.
🎨 Black is the priciest colour (median 4.99M) while Gold is the cheapest (1.4M) — colour preference correlates with model tier.
Price distribution is right-skewed: median (31.5L) is far below mean (43.3L); luxury outliers distort averages.
⛽ Electric has highest median price (PKR 14.8M) — mostly newer Nissan Leaf imports. LPG is cheapest (710K) — very old stock.
Hybrid share is rising: interest has climbed since 2020, and EV visibility is also gradually growing.
📍 Sialkot & Lahore sellers ask more than Karachi or Quetta for the same type of car — regional price gaps exist.
⏳ Depreciation curve: brand-new cars ask ~PKR 8M, drops to ~4.35M by year 6, then flattens at ~2M+ for 15-20 year old cars.
🔧 Engine CC vs price is non-linear: 800cc (Mehran/Bolan era) actually cheaper than 660cc (newer kei cars) despite bigger engine.
Seller photos cluster around 8-14 images; a visible spike at 20 photos suggests common upload limits.
Toyota Corolla shows the strongest model-level market presence, followed by Mehran and Cultus.
Age explains -0.38 of price variance; mileage -0.21 — age is a stronger predictor than odometer reading alone.
