Why Have Companies Started to Decrease Car Prices?
Recently, with the exception of Suzuki, almost all the major auto assemblers in Pakistan have started reducing the prices of their vehicles. The main reason behind this is the strengthening of the Pakistani Rupee, although it is unclear whether their production costs have also decreased, while the GST rate has been increased on some cars, including Honda City 1.2L MT and Honda City 1.2L CVT. Additionally, auto assemblers have been struggling with sales for some time now. With these price reductions, they hope that their sales will pick up, though it is debatable whether these price reductions are sufficient to jumpstart sluggish sales.
Now that Honda Pakistan has decreased their prices, are you willing to buy a new Honda car now? Or would you still prefer to buy a used Honda car?
