Buying a new car or bike safely
Last updated 26 Oct 2026
Booking
After cases in Gujranwala where people posing as dealers took booking money and disappeared, makers told buyers to pay only by pay order in the company’s name, and only through a dealer listed on the maker’s own website.
“Own money”
Extra money for early delivery is a premium, not a price. We never show it as one.
Finance
Before paying a down payment to a “zero-interest” scheme or finance company, check its licence on SECP’s website, and confirm any bank offer with the bank directly.
Token tax
Pay token tax only on the official excise portal or app. Never enter card details on a link sent by SMS.
