Political or business lines.

-->
These days I am watching Marco Polo , a series of Mongolian history , which is depict of Kublai khan who was ascender of Genghis  Khan.
Mongolian tribes have a very bloody history they liked killing and fighting for power , and were known as most bravest people. As well they were more likely to be stonehearted people. When they took over china they was a lot of blood shed from both sides.
Kublai Khan was also titled as Khan of Khans and he conquered almost half of world.
Why I am i discussing this is not the history lesson kind of thing but to know quite few things from a person's perspective is important.

I usually would ask one's Cast, now don’t take me wrong but it is a very important subject to me to know one's origin, it becomes easy for me to understand what should i expect new.
My usually theory of life is that dog and a friend should be pedigree, it is not important what you think of what I think its my perception i don't want others to agree what I have to say or think.

Imran Khan belongs to a family known as Niazi , who are pushtoon and have quite arranged history , the history somewhere also share a story that  In 1221 A.D, Niazi along with other Afghans joined the forces of Jalaluddin Khwarzimi and the combined forces of Turks and Afghans inflicted a first major defeat on Mongol,
So where Mongol history was introduced the reason was this ,Imran Khan though i do not like him reason may be many but people who knows me , few them knows it could be personal too.
The most effective reason is that Imran khan is very stubborn , though few other are too that could also include me but as a leader i think one should not be.
Let me not do a postmortem of Khan , as i am not here to do so but i am finding the problem that Khan will face.
Being in the blood group of family who has history of fighting he had fought his way out for being the executive of Pakistan, though he may had suffer a lot in this case but the stubborn soul knew what was coming, the dream of his mother Shaukat Khanum made him peruse not what he wanted but what his mother had dreamed for him.

Khan has taken over the rival with two fits of their time, PMLN and PPPP , their times does not mean they are history but it means that they have been there since a long time now and an old player knows what he has to do next. Khan being player too but there are few row changes of being a real player and being a political player. Political players are not suited on luck but mostly their way of handling things unlike real time players need luck.

There is a game i play when i am free , which mostly i am free the game has taught me that wait for chance when i get chance i make sure the other player does not get up ,If he is up he will damage my strength.
Khan may had learn few tricks and my personal taught is he has learnt the same game playing tactics how long he manages well there are two things one is luck which he has these days , second is chance.
Khan knows chance matters a lot if he let other to get up they will drain all his powers and second is while the opponent is down he needs to work out his stagey to give his best for Pakistan.
Few days back i was watching a programed where one of host was saying that a country executive does not require to be guided that what he is suppose to do , he knows it all.
Does he really knows all ? does he knows the guy sleeping on footpath would never know he will eat in morning or not ? the labor sitting all day in sun would never know they will take home food for their kids , the people are so scared to logged a complaint in police station that they would rather sit home and leave everything to God.
That reminds me of Khan been lucky or made lucky or at God will , everywhere in world the buses are late , trains get broken traffic get block people would die of hunger its not a story of one nation its a reality that we are forgetting , how are we looking for the new executive to change everything in just 5 years or will he be unlucky to not to complete his tenure.

The paid media is telling you what they have to tell you and you listening exact, which they want you to listen, now depends what is that you dont like to listen. For example Khan telling you that we will get million jobs which is exactly what you wanted to hear not thinking how , how would you create jobs they are created not by luck dear they are not created by chance but they are created by boosting business sector and giving them there due share.
Each business man will open job opportunity as soon he sees there is money floating in country they would need work force to keep the pace with their clients , which will bring money in local market and hence the local people will get flourish , it is simple as simple as it sounds but can Khan's team get the chance of brining peace , harmony and the international investment, that will not happen with luck or chance for that one needs to understand that business security is the first priority of every business man.
They should secure them by giving them licenses that can not be revoked, business opportunities that can at least stay there 10 years , business proposal that lasts for long if they given there due share time , they will bring confident to the business world they will not secure there money by buying empty plots but they will invest in market to get more money out of it the chain , the circle would start. The judicial powers and the government institute never secures an investor but they secure themselves they secure government which is worked by our voting system, at least few of it , goes out of my tax money , my salary and my earnings.
So who should be secured the government or the business sector or the system that make everything work well.
Khan and his team what ever the way they find but if they want a system to work then they should start securing the individual interest or else wise people will start selling their and will go abroad as already being done since 20 years , it is time for Khan and his team to secure them so much they would come back with same intentions and that is to stay.

Vitz 1999-2009



Vitz compare to its value is little high for the car for its self. Though in early 2000's when this car was introduced in Pakistan, the importers did not knew that the car will be flop , but as the time passed people started liking the shape and when it was compared with our local Suzuki Alto 1000 cc people started taking Vitz Seriously.Vitz originally was launched as Yaris in Europe and was also voted as the Car of the year in 2000 defeating a model of Fiat with a very few difference.Drive and comfortAlthough in beginning the car drive for Pakistani road was not bad but the car used to touch speed breaker once it was crossed, meaning by the road clearance of the car was not good at all. More then three people at the back of seat meant the car will defiantly touch the ground, as the matter of fact this is not fault of cars, the cars are design by default for the country it is made for keeping view the road , weather and the traffic condition.So by saying fault of maker would not be the right word. But our local mechanics and car dealers present their own theory.I think car gets 70 marks out of 100 in comfort as it’s not bad for our road, by higher it some 1feet above the ground the car get its road clearance.

)



2005 model Also known Second generation



In 2005 they say they have done quite few changes and onwards I had once or twice driven the car. Everybody have their own views about driving no doubts the drive of car is immaculate but a car in the price that has been offer in our country I have my own reservations . A car with out a back space after installation of CNG cylinder is little too much.In the time where the economy is hitting down all automobile around the world Pakistani cars are getting expensive but lets talk about the prices at the end. Lets talk about what difference have they madeThe previous 4-cylinder 1.0 VVT-i engine was replaced by the 3-cylinder engine also found in the Toyota Aygo and Daihatsu Sirion. The 1.3 liter engine was revised to offer slightly more power, and the 1.4 D-4D got a 15 PS (11 kW) boost to 90 PS (66 kW), the former engine allowing it to achieve exceptional fuel economy. The Yaris became the first car in its class to offer nine airbags.As I have driven the car well it feels good the car if it is in good condition its as good as new. Perhaps yes they have tried and have somehow made it a better running machine and not to forget it has its number on top cars in Europe so no joke.But that does not mean that we do not have our reservations we can and have them any time.




Well all I think of when I talk about Japanese car they always try to luxuries and better the performance of vehicle i don't know Suzuki Company is trying to take out all possible luxuries and all possible betterment of engine. They are getting pathetic. What else could be said that they have not even given a defogger they say that we are manufacturing the car for Pakistan I may add talking of Pakistan its more than 60% area needs a defogger in car but well again we have no options left do we?

So if we discuss about buying alto and Vitz lets see the difference.I tried finding something from their web site http://www.paksuzuki.com.pk but unfortunately they don't have any thing to say about it I tried loading Jimny another of their brand it pop open meaning by which the alto does not deserve any marketing it has its own.Buying a Vitz in PakistanThe difference of prices are there if we talk of cities like Rawalpindi,Karachi,Lahore,Peshawar and Islamabad (there are more cities but for time being we will talk about some of them) but they are depended upon your buying power and from whom you are buying for example

websites like www.pakwheels.com, www.apnigari.com,www.olx.com or may be www.carpakistan.com are some of sites where you may find dealers or original seller selling their cars where you have room of 50,000 to 100,000 Pak rupees to buy a car of your like but on your own risk.

I know one of dealer who loves to sell vitz in Rawalpindi on Mall road is 11th way motors that buy and sell vitz not only that but on Sundays puts on Vitz Mella. Nice marketing tech but you need to bargain a lot with them their contact 0321-5372911.Keeping the values I am telling you prices with difference of 50,000 to 100,000 depending their looks and CNG cost.

Another dealer well I normally entre names of people who you cn trust a little bit , is in Islamabad works with the name of CarCliff in G-8 their contact number is 0321-50000843.
Well as i say bargain with them alot :)


1. Vitz can be bought from ranges of models like 1999-2002 was before the economy crises ranged from PRs 475000/- to PRs550000/- depending about their exterior and CNG option.Which after economy crises has gone to PRs 575000/- to PRs 600,000 .The clear difference is of PRs100,000 /-




· 2002-2003 model Vitz was PRs 5, 50,000/- to 600,000 has now gone to PRs6, 50,000 to PRs6, 75,000 again keeping in view the CNG fitted ones. The difference here is again of 100,000 Pak rupees.



· 2003-2004 model Vitz comes in two packages as what our car dealers says but as a matter of fact no big deal they can be replaced from Afghani parts but as they say FL(fully luxury) and F Package which I really don’t know stands for may be one of you could explain. The price of F package is 6, 75,000 to 700,000 and FL is 700,000 to 7, 50,000PRs CNG in this price is a preference. By the way the only difference that I have come to know and seen is of interior color nothing else so 50,000 extra for beauty is of no use I think. Before economy crisis the price for individual was not more then 600,000 there we go again a 100,000 boost.



· 2005-2006 has two option one of which is self start with a button I didn’t get that theory but increasing in price is big NO it should b of same price which is more or less 8, 50,000 to 9, 50,000 PRs. Come on for this price there are a lot more options in cars but I don’t know you are the judge your self if you need a car which is 2006 meaning by 3 years old and worth you a million PRs it really is not fair. Where I see things changes a bit day by day yes the prices will come down till now the bubble is getting bigger every day and yes quite so many people are telling us that but the bubble once pop out you bet the price of this model will not cross 600,000 to 700,000 which again is a lot but yes the car worth a fair deal on it. As I have discussed early as they are called as second generation car and yes they have modified to better their performance so cannot say No to this amount.



· 2007 worth 1 million PakRupees WOW they are same as above 2005,2006 models but the money is because of import is now expensive so not the dealers fault, yes ours defiantly because we are buying it any ways.




Suzuki Alto Well Alto has its own market and I or you or no one can challenge its market though the economy has defiantly gave a difficult time to sell alto in local market because of which the Suzuki has lower it prices down to 6,69,000 PakRupees for CNG fitted and AC fitted car.
The interesting thing is that they have another model which is of 5, 70,000 which has nothing (no Ac and no CNG)
I wonder why they call it car then.



In 2000 the alto was introduced in Pakistan and had a major market grip thanks to local bank they gave alto 1000cc which is actually 970 cc car on easy installment. At that time the Alto was even at the price of buying so talking of now and 2005,2006,and 2007 the market share went to Toyota vitz because of its luxury compare to Suzuki Alto no match.
Suzuki Alto Japanese



Interesting thing I saw was there was an alto same shape as ours its was 660cc I guess and the good things were it was automatic , with air bags, defogger ,power windows , ABS breaks and it was kind of comfortable then the local. The price of it was not more then 500,000Rs at that time I don’t know but should not be more then this at this time either but you never know. But either ways if you get hold one of those you got the best thing on road sir. By the way it sounds better then the one which is of Rs 5, 75,000only.



My question all the time with Suzuki people are those simple things too expensive for Pakistani people or are we getting punishment for you introducing in Pakistan. Well that was just my feeling no offence Suzuki.So talking of difference the body, Power, steering, breaking looks, style and most of important comfort speaks reliability speaks well my vote for vitz.
But we forgot spare part



Spare Parts



Peshawar (Shoba Market)



Lahore (Bilal Gunj)



Rawalpindi/Islamabad (Sultan ka khu or Hathi Chowk)




Karachi




There are few outlets where you can find new parts too but they get little expensive.
Other wise if you know some please let me know we will share with all.
Vitz Parts



I am writing rates of Kabuli ones which are available in Rawalpindi at shop name “Atta Wali Kahn Autos” Glass factory Chowk Haq Nawaz Rd Contact # 051-5953044 Cell 0300-9564531.
Why him? Well because compare to a lot other people I have found him little reasonable and ethical too. But because he is a Pathan well you can and have to bargain a little with him.
The rates below are subjected to change with availability and market value so these are not exact rates.



For 1999-2003 (Kabuli)



Bumpers = Rs8000/ for both
Doors=Rs17000/- for all four
Bonnet= Rs 10,000/-
Back door (digge)= Rs5000/-
Lights = Rs 4500/-Front both
Dashboard = Rs7000/- complete
Seats and other can be check by calling him .




For 2004 (Kabuli)




Bumpers = Rs12000/ for both
Doors=Rs17000/- for all four
Bonnet= Rs 10,000/-
Back door (digge) = Rs5000/-
Lights = Rs 8000/-Front both
Dashboard = Rs10, 000/- complete
Seats and other can be check by calling him. Well probably rates are not so different of 2004 from above as they share the same shapes so well rates can always be readjusted from him.



For 2005-2007 (Kabuli)




Bumpers = Rs18000/ for both
Doors=Rs70, 000/- for all four
Bonnet= Rs 10,000/- to 15,000Rs
Back door (digge)= Rs12,000/-
Lights = Rs 12,000/-Front both
Dashboard = Rs35, 000/- complete
Seats and other can be check by calling him.




Well here is where my old friend Alto wins that the spare are really cheap by the way it should be because the shapes have been same all the way long. But as I say keeping camels you need to have height for your doors. So no big deal I remember when they came in the rates were of 1999-2004 model were really high so in no spam of time the dust for up model will also settle don’t worry.
