Buy and sell cheap cars: Bazaar Sunday car market in Karachi that is fulfilling the dream of the middle class cheap car
In today world of automation can be a daunting task.
Sunday Car BazAar :If you take out a car with a loan from a bank do not get caught in the trap of debt ? Where will down payment come from? Why wait so many months.
What if I took a second hand & got cheated? Where to collect so much money at once - finally find out that car prices have risen again.
D not think so lets meet Adil Habib from Karachi who changes his car every four months. The funny thing is that instead of going to a car dealer or an app for this they turn to the Sunday car Bazaar market.
According to Adil not only do they get car of their choice easily and cheaply but they also sell their own car.

Car market Bazaar is held every Sunday at the playground near UP Morr in North Karachi where dozens of vehicles are bought & sold every week.
This bazaar has-been held for the last 15 year attracting people not only from Karachi but also from other parts of Pakistan.
Vehicles start arriving at this Bazar Sunday car market from 2 pm & deals are made till the west in which cars of different periods & different types Suzuki pickups & jeeps are brought.
Why do people turn to Bazaar Sunday car market ?
There are dealers of used vehicles in many areas in Karachi including Khalid Bin Waleed Road Tariq Road Shahra-e-Qaedin and New MA Jinnah Road.
There are also companies like Pak Wheels and OLX on internet that help in buying & selling cars online. This raises the question of why people turn to bazaar this Sunday.
Adil Habib a young man has criticized online platforms claiming that one shows status of an online vehicle while other is different.
These vehicles are present in different parts of the city. Now who will go there & burn the oil of the vehicle so they go to this bazaar.
Sunday Bazaar Farhat Bukhari a Karachi resident sold a car here last week & is back this week .
He says If there are different vehicles here you get your own range of vehicles. On the contrary options on Pak Wheels & OLX are limited while if you go to the dealer the issue of commission also comes up. Here you can make a quick deal. If you do not like 1 car look at the other.
In addition we also learned that car noise room owners also come here to buy & sell sunday Bazaar.
Another such user Jabbar Ahmad Khan says If you drive on OLX or Pak Wheels you get a lot of fake calls. People get annoyed on the phone but here the deal is done in hours.
How are car & papers checked Sunday Bazaar?
In the bazaar you will see many people lying under cars inspecting the interior. Someone is opening the bonnet & checking the condition of the engine of the car some one is trying to guess by tapping the body with his fingers that there is no dent somewhere is its color in real condition? Yes or no
Farhat Bukhari says People have experience of driving but do not know how to check it so they bring dentures & mechanics who check the vehicle concerned. Both are present.
Adil Habib a young man says that if he likes a car he gives a statement of Rs 2,000 & gets a copy of running paper. No when it is confirmed & the heart is satisfied then the rest is paid.
