Analyzing Pajero purchase (financially) decision after 6 years of owning || Wali Khan

- Mitsubishi Pajero is arguably the most famous budget Japanese SUVs you can find in the UAE. It gives serious competition to cars like Toyota Prado and Nissan Pathfinder. However, it has a very unique selling point - which is it's price! Its way cheaper than its counterpart Japanese SUVs (like Prado) as well as comes with bundle of attractive packages when you buy it new.
We shall be discussing about the car's purchase decision 6 years back and how it has gone by so far. As well as we shall talk about its practicality and compare it with other cars too.. Sit back and relax and watch the full video :)

Have a look at my Oman journey we did on the same car! It has been one reliable car for last 7 years now :)
Best part is the value for money it provides!
Your way of presentation and replays are really appreciated 🥰
I like your video with proper optimized comparison ......It is the perfect analysis......Thank you
Thanks for your comment :)
the reason behind cleaning by oil (engine + downside) its protect Rust , increase timing belt life etc
Thanks for the comment. I know this reason, however, it’s only valid for pakistan (May be India too) - but I haven’t seen this process abroad. As due to oil on the bottom, the sand particles over the long term accumulate and deteriorates the surface instead of protecting.
@@WaliKhan_2k normally third companies offered rust & dust proofing in GCC like "zebart" ,but people once buy new car they forget to do this that's way car servicing companies doing temporary solution to put some oil spray under car in order to protect rusting ,because GCC humidity level always high so they offer this service when car owner take steam wash or full wash but not in normal wash
thats the point, i havent seen this happening in Dubai. Though Mitsubishi offered me to do rust protection, but from past experience it wont mater. I have seen 20 years old cars as well here which never had rust protection / oiling, but still are OK.
Not recommended by any automobile companies for oil spray in Pakistan as well.
@@WaliKhan_2k Dear Mr. Wali, amazing video Hats off, but i believe if you live near seaside, it could cause rust in your car and all electroincs, so thats why we should do it time to time. not every time when it goes for service.
Thoroughly enjoyed your Video. I have 2005 Prado bought it at 75000 kms now. I have driven it close to 500,000 kms quite trouble free. I would like to exchange thoughts on perhaps selling it now and getting a Pajero obviously a little bit used. Do you recommend the 3.5 or the 3.8 L version. We can do a little meet up at one of the Petrol Stations have a coffee together.
500k is great! These Japanese cars are beast and are immortal :)
Any problems you face with Pajero like engine, gear issues or any electrical issues you face ??
Kindly share as I am planing hear to buy 2016 pajero in saudi arabia soon
What model of this car sir ?
Can I buy 3.5 liter 2019 gls base model 65k driven at 63k AED ? What you think it’s fair price ?
are you in uae? which petrol you use?special ?
Very nice Wali bhai.
I thought car loan is among one of the expensive loans
Thanks for the comment.
Actually it depends - In Pakistan it might be the expensive (but still not the most expensive)
But in GCC countries, car loan is the cheapest (perhaps after mortgages), however, one should avoid the used car loans as they tend to be expensive.
It makes sense to purchase car on bank loan in the car loan is as low as 1.5% even. As one can easily invest the amount in better yielding investments.
Sir what is the average cost of Pajero maintenance
What is the value of your car now in 2024
Sir i am a commerce student and i see you as my mentor♥️
Good to hear that you value your personal finance wellbeing at this young age :-)
Which year model?
I bought Panera back in 2015 and sell it rite after 15 days. It was 2011 in excellent condition.
Reason I didn’t like is stiff suspension. Very uncomfortable.
Bulky , slow and gas guzzler
I know where you are coming from - I agree Pajero is not the best of cars taking consideration for comfort. However, the channel is all about productivity and personal finance and I make video on those topics, so Pajero makes a lot of sense to me :)
This car is with me for 7 years - I went to Oman on this car twice, big here: walikhan.co/post/travel-does-not-have-to-be-expensive/
If you talk about a basic SUV providing mid sized family reliable transport in the cheapest way - Pajero is way to go!
@@WaliKhan_2k from your perspective, I agree with you and you are rite.
If you really knows cars and able to analyze and pull out best deal on Toyota in used cars. It's even better than this calculation.
Used car one can own in middle east with nominal price and sell it off with just 2K AED less. So basically it cost you 1000 AED per year.
Get my point?
By the way this not random. This is experience 😇
@@engrumarkhan used car is a different game - but even after 7 years of owning it - monetary terms, I still think Pajero wins. I dont have any argument for the comfort.
I know Prado wins vs Pajero in comfort and ride quality on road.
sir,can you plz tell how many km does this car run by per litre fuel,,,,,,??? or average mileage by per litre fuel...plz sir reply me
It depends on the driving habit - its been 7+ years for me with this car and I can do between 7 and 9 depending the traffic and driving speed.
Hi Walid, is Pajero comfortable for long drives ? Like 3+ hours long drivws from Dubai to Oman
We have done the trip twice in last 4 years to Oman with a family of 5 on same vehicle. I won’t say it’s very comfortable, but then it’s high value for money and 100% dependable beast.
Here was the newsletter written for last trip: walikhan.co/post/travel-does-not-have-to-be-expensive/
9:44 You have to compare the two same engine. Too be faire you can compare the 3.8L Pajero vs the 4.0L Prado.
V6 4.0L Prado start easily at 200 000 AED, in the meantime you can find a V6 3.8L Pajero for around 100 000 AED.
Prado are overpriced, good car but overpriced. The sitting position is less good than the Pajero and equipments are low when not full option (a GCC 3.8l Pajero is always full option).
The only good thing with the Prado is the status and how expensive you can sell it back. But if you just want a powerful a reliable 4x4 then buy a Pajero.
You are absolutely correct, I might have not emphasized, but what I mean was that Pajero is absolutely a bargain compared to a Prado. Best machine for its price.
2016 Pajero 3.8 L, have done approx 80K Km, in Saudia. Basic version. I am eyeing on it. Can you give me an idea on its price? On how much should I deal?
Not sure of the KSA market, but here it should be coming around 40K - you can have an idea by browsing through dubbizle.
How about maintenance, did you face any costly daily maintenance.
@@NM-bf3gb not much. Been driving for 7 years now. Purchased this new. Driven 110k and recently spent 3k aed on maintenance - before that I paid 4K and got the maintenance contract with habtor until 100k from 50k.
Until 50k the maintenace was part of new car purchase program.
UAE m car purchasing per b aik video banadyn..... New or Preowned ? lets say Family car similar pajero prado ya ar similar
Thanks for the comment. :)
Have you seen this video about car buying:
ruclips.net/video/sRZzf6E8dSU/видео.html
I have got used offer i wanna buy it. It 2006 top model. With 236k odo. Suggest me how much it will cost me in avg maintenance.
2006 is a bit old. Cannot say much. How much are you getting it for?
@@WaliKhan_2k in Saudi I am getting it for 22K SAR. But i am confused about daily maintenance. I had a corola. And i never paid for any daily basis maintenance. Just changing oil and filters and run without any issues.
@@NM-bf3gb Pajero is same kind of car but as it ages, there might be Maintenace expense. Pajero is certainly a high fuel consumption car compared to Corolla. You need to keep that under consideration as well.
@@WaliKhan_2k Thanka for your suggestions.
Salam brother amazing channel today I subscribe
Good review dear 👍🏻

Average milage?
