by Why Used Land Cruisers Are Now a Smart Buy
- Massive Savings over New
- Brand‑new Land Cruiser 300 ZX costs around ₨ 105–120 million, with ZX and VX variants hitting ₨ 115–135 million .
- Compare that to used J200 V8 models (2018–2022) priced at ₨ 75–110 million buyers are pocketing discounts of ₨ 15–45 million easily!
- Depreciation + Inflation = Opportunity
- In Pakistan, used cars often appreciate due to local inflation and weak PKR.
- So, even slightly older Land Cruisers may hold value well while still being significantly cheaper than new.
- Extensive Options & Price Drops
- A 2017 ZX is listed around ₨ 41–45 million; a 2013 ZX around ₨ 29–33 million.
- For example, the 2013 ZX in Lahore: ₨ 29.9M (67k km), versus new model costing over ₨ 105M—that’s a ₨ 75M difference!
- Classic & Budget Choices
- Even older models like the J80 (1995–2001) are available for ₨ 3.3–11 million —ideal for rugged off‑road use with minimal spend.
- Reddit users note Land Cruisers “hold their value very well,” with 100,000 km not considered high mileage.
