 The recent federal budget in Pakistan introduced sweeping reductions on import duties for luxury vehicles, directly benefiting the resale market, especially for models like the Mercedes‑Benz G‑Wagon. According to industry insiders and dealers, prices on used G‑Wagons have dropped by up to Rs. 2 crore, making these elite SUVs more attainable than ever  .

Typically, G‑Wagons were trading at over Rs. 8 crore. Now, depending on model year, mileage, and overall condition, resale prices have plunged to around Rs. 6 crore or even lower  . Car market analysts see this as a rare golden opportunity for buyers previously deterred by steep import costs. The budget’s duty waiver is refreshing interest in high-end used luxury vehicles across major urban centers—Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad leading the charge  .

This price reduction hasn’t significantly affected new‑car prices yet, since new imports still carry other taxes and fees. Still, the immediate effect is clear: increased activity in Pakistan’s luxury resale market  . Dealers are optimistic that this shift could ripple out to other premium brands, as similar duty relief is expected to apply soon.

For prospective buyers, now is an opportune moment to proactively explore the used G‑Wagon segment. With savings nearing Rs. 2 crore, models that were once fantasy-level may now be within reach—provided you act swiftly before competition heats up.
