· Insurance Rates: Used cars in Islamabad usually have lower insurance rates than new cars, even if the make and model are the same but in a newer version. Depending on the car, model and insurance provider, you can save around 20% per year.

· Depreciation: New cars generally lose most of their value in the first years of usage. Usually, a car loses about half of its value over the first three years, and rest 20%/25% over the next three years. These percentages may vary depending on the car and the model. But, usually that is the reason why Used Cars in Islamabad are not as expensive as the new ones, and Used cars do not lose value as quick as the new ones: because the starting value is already low enough.

· Reliability: A very important aspect of buying used cars in Islamabad is their reliability. Most people are reluctant to buy used cars due to the prospect of lack of reliability. The truth is that recent reports show that the reliability of used car had a massive improvement over the last three decades, and reports of once common problems, such as a muffler or the whole exhaust system not working, rust parts (hidden beyond the paint job), are now a fraction of what used to be. Now, used cars (properly maintained) can last over 100.000 miles and could reach as much as 200.000 miles without having a major problem.
