15 Things that Highly Impact the Online Resale Value of your Car!

The internet has revolutionized the way people buy and sell cars.

You can now use video broadcasting sites such as YouTube, social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter and more importantly, online car classified sites to make an effective online sales pitch.

But just like any other market, is it simply enough to say “I am selling my car”? No. There is definitely a need for more.

So how can one sell his/her car while sitting in the comfort of his/her home with much ease that too at a good price?

Read on to find out a few tips that will get you the best price for your car online.

1 – Know Your Target Market (Optimize)

You need to know the nuts and bolts of the car market to make a quick sale. With the right amount of knowledge, you can sell your car at a much better price.

2- Set an Appropriate Price

Price matters a lot while selling a car, especially when you are selling it in a price-sensitive market like Pakistan. So go through the prices for the same type of car you are selling (you can do this online). Then price it accordingly. Don’t underestimate and don’t overestimate.

3. Add-Ons Add Value

To increase the worth of your car a bit more, don’t keep it purely stock but add a bit of add-on that does not spoil the car’s original look but only buffers it up.

 

4. Presentation Matters 

Presentation ALWAYS matters, no matter how good your car is, if not properly buffed up it might not give you for what it’s worth.

5. Wash and Disinfect

 

Everybody needs grooming and so do our cars. The unsaid rule of keeping one is to keep it well washed and polished at ALL times.

How to Disinfect your Car & Personal Space from COVID-19!

6. Click Hi-Res Pictures

Now you are all ready to click some high-resolution pictures of your car. Why High Resolution Only? Because simply put, your buyers would want to see your product in detail.

7. Get the Paperwork in Order

 

One of the most common flaws in online selling of cars is when the paperwork of the car is not complete. Even with a single paper missing, the buyers slash down your car’s price tremendously. So instead of blaming them, get your papers together. 

8. Tell the Buyers Everything (No Lies!)

When completing the description for your car, write as much detail as possible and use descriptive keywords to ensure clarity and accurate information for the buyer.

9. Give Detailed Specs

 

Tell them exactly what your car holds, the more detailed it is the better idea you give out to the buyer.

10. Use Keywords

Use keywords that match the exact make, model, and specifications of your car, for example, Honda Civic VTi 1.8 i-VTEC Prosmatec, 2010.

11. Offer Test Drives

 

Lure in the best buyers in town by offering a test drive option on the ad you place, the performance of the car itself can just be the thing to crack the deal.

12. Stay Responsive (No Excuses)

The quicker you are to respond to an interested buyer, the better your chances will be of making a sale.

14. Give Your Legit Contact Details

Double-check the contact details, before allowing your ad to go on air. You might waste all your hard work, just because of a simple mistake in contact details.

15. Use Car Classified Sites that Send Alerts

Sign up to different car classified websites like PakWheels, Carmudi, etc. to engage a larger and more diversified buyers list, from various different platforms.

Selling online requires much less effort compared to selling your car offline. It doesn’t require you to be a mechanic or majors in automotive; it simply requires a bit of your effort and that’s it.

Employment & Investment Confidence Plummets As Pakistan Economy Fights COVID-19

Accountancy experts say economic confidence in Q1 has capitulated as the Pakistani economy struggles to get to grips with the fallout from the Coronavirus.

A national survey of senior accountancy practitioners, who reflect the outlook of a large number of businesses they advise, found that confidence has fallen by more than 5% to -28, a record low for Q1 registered in the 11-year history of the research.

The report Global Economic Conditions Survey (GECS), jointly published by ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) reveals:

  • Global confidence fell to its lowest level on record with big falls in all regions
  • The global orders index, which tends to be less volatile than confidence, also fell sharply
  • Pakistan employment and investment tumble to record lows
  • Pakistan set to suffer a sharp economic contraction in coming months

Michael Taylor, the chief economist at ACCA, revealed there was a relatively little divergence in confidence between regions owing to the global nature of the coronavirus economic shock.

He said: ‘Pakistan economic sentiment is in line with the rest of the world. Confidence fell everywhere and, in most cases, sharply and to the lowest since the survey began in 2009.

‘South Asia, Pakistan in particular, did not show a collapse in confidence in early March. Pakistan was suffering from weak growth prior to the pandemic and will quickly fall into economic contraction.

‘While this survey looks at the economic impact, it is important to remember there is a human cost both now and in the long-term on wellbeing, skills and the risk of redundancy.’

Looking ahead, Michael Taylor concludes: ‘The economic damage in the coming months will be huge. But if appropriate policy action is taken, then conditions for recovery will be in place when the COVID-19 health crisis is substantially over.’

Money Heist Mistakes You Probably Didn’t Notice!

When the first season of La Casa de Papel premiered in Spain, it showed promise. Its first episode drew in 4.5 million viewers on the Spanish channel Antena 3. However, as the series progressed, its viewership plummeted.

The creators and cast had already accepted the series was a flop when Netflix came along and acquired it. Netflix added La Casa de Papel, retitled as Money Heist in the United States, to its library with a little advertisement. Regardless, subscribers found it and fell in love and this unpredictable heist drama proved to be one of Netflix’s smartest gambles.

But we noticed a few mistakes in this series!

  1. In one of the first episodes, Tokio is supposedly 12 years older than Río. Later on, Berlín and others remind Río that his girlfriend is 15 years older than him.

2.  In season 3, Arturito is talking to his fans about his poor son. If they are in hiding, then Arturito wouldn’t know the gender of the child.

3. Raquel’s mom forgets the next moment that he smashed the coffee glass. But she remembers that the professor told they made love.

4.  How did clowns in season 2 even enter the hospital? Why did no one stop them at the entrance with such high security?

5. In season 2, just by looking at a thread of fabric on the Professor’s coat, Raquel confirms that he is the Professor (in a fraction of secs).

6. Angel, the senior police officer gets drunk but could have easily gotten the professor arrested with all the evidence he had. A little common sense would’ve played an important part in this!

Although there were many more but these were the ones that were pretty obvious!

However, we know how much most of you are in love with this crime/drama so we decided to show a little behind the scenes and bloopers of the celebs of Money Heist! Who knew the professor would look so dreamy when laughing like a fool?

Check out the bloopers while they were shooting this!

Let’s see what the fifth season of Money Heist has in stores for us. After the tragic death of Nairobi (Alba Flores) below are the actors who are most likely to return in season five include:

  • Úrsula Corberó as Tokio
  • Álvaro Morte as El Profesor
  • Itziar Ituño as Lisbon
  • Miguel Herrán as Río
  • Jaime Lorente as Denver
  • Esther Acebo as Stockholm
  • Darko Peric as Helsinki
  • Enrique Arce as Arturo Román

People from all walks of life have been taking responsibility and doing their part during the pandemic. Popular actors, Hira Mani and Mani have also been actively taking part in collecting ration. The couple has been distributing the necessary grocery item to the needy.

However, the couple has always been criticized for their choice of actions in the public eye many time. The criticism rolled out further while both the actors were kind enough to participate in public service in the time of need.

On a video uploaded on Instagram recently, Hira follows Mani around her house while they were assembling and packing the ration bags.

Mani emphasized that the reason why they have been updating their social media while carrying out kind gestures is that they are stars and their lives are very much public.

Watch Video Here:

Hira captioned the video with an Ayah from the Quran, Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord … Quran, 2:274

A post shared by Syeda Hira Salman (@hiramaniofficial) on

It is essential these stars use their platform to spread awareness. Just like they upload pictures of traveling in business class or a child’s birthday and other activities.

It’s so heartwarming to see everyone doing their part during this global crisis. The only way we can contain the spread of coronavirus as a nation is if we take individual responsibility.

Here’s the promo!

What’s new about Kashf’s storyline? Is it the same old?

Not at all. The upcoming drama serial Kashf addresses a rare sleep disorder called nightmare disorder or dream anxiety disorder. But in a very unique way. Moreover, the lead characters will be shown with disorders.

The drama shows a girl, Kashf who is afraid to fall asleep because of her constant nightmares, that end up turning into reality. The role of Kashf Binte Imtiaz Ahmed is played by Hira in the drama.

The plot of the drama mainly revolves around Kashf who is the eldest daughter of Imtiaz, an arrogant person who dreams of becoming rich without making any efforts. Whereas, Kashf, unlike her sisters and father has a realist mindset.

However, what proves to be troublesome for Kashf are her nightmares and her lucid visions that they’re more than just dreams. To find out more, you’ll need to watch the first episode!

When is it releasing?

The drama is releasing today, 7th April 2020 at 8:00 on HUM TV.

Several countries in the past have announced a full ban on niqabs and burqas also known as the ‘burqa ban’.

This ban forbids Muslim women to cover themselves from head to toe and hide their faces when in public.

Over time, many countries have implemented the burqa ban. One of the reasons at the time to call for the ban was the fear of Islamophobia, whereas security and safety have also been a concern in the past.

If not followed, it can lead to a fine or even penalty.

Countries that have implemented the ‘burqa ban’ include:

  • Tunisia
  • Austria
  • Denmark
  • France
  • Belgium
  • Tajikistan
  • Latvia
  • Bulgaria
  • Cameroon
  • Chad
  • Congo-Brazzaville
  • Gabon
  • Netherlands
  • Morocco
  • China

Now, because of the novel coronavirus pandemic slowly gripping the world, as a healthcare precaution, many countries have made it mandatory to wear facemasks when residents leave their homes.

The facemasks prevent the COVID-19 positive patient who may not be aware of it from spreading the infection, and healthy individuals from catching it via skin-to-face contact. Compulsory facemask laws are now being widely adopted in Europe.

Austria, one of the countries that banned the burqa has now made is absolutely compulsory to wear face masks in shops.

Moreover, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, have gone even further, making the wearing of face masks compulsory once you leave home.

In Germany, Jena (eastern city) has announced citizens to cover their faces when shopping or on public transport.

Even America’s CDC health agency has recommended individuals to wear masks or home-made face cloth when going to public places including the pharmacies or even shops.

Austrian Counselor, Sebastian Kurz admitted how the coronavirus has led to an uncalled-for cultural shift as a country that had banned burqas in 2017 is now encouraging its residents to cover their faces.

I am fully aware that masks are something alien to our culture. It’ll be a major change, but it is necessary that we take this step to further reduce the further spread.

Wearing a facemask has not been an easy-going experience for everyone.

I’m not used to it. It’s hard breathing with masks, and it’s hot under there. -Astrid from Salzburg

There is now a possibility that the countries mentioned above that had placed the ban may remove it, understanding the importance of covering oneself, but, time will tell if that will happen or not.

In a country like Pakistan, doctors are working tirelessly in bare minimum conditions. They certainly deserve much more than what is provided to them. In certain areas, doctors have been working without the extremely essential protective suits and masks, resulting in 3 doctors losing their lives in the line of duty.

Individuals and various textile brands are coming together to make the armour a.k.a protective suits needed by our medical community during this crucial time.

Recently, people paid tribute to our frontline workers by singing, “Hamay tumsay pyaar hai!” on rooftops and balconies. Ayesha Omar and Wasim Akram were amongst the many who celebrated Pakistan’s medical community and thanked them for their hard work.

Twitter is full of heartfelt tributes and messages today on World Health Day, celebrating the doctors, nurses and other medical staff who are working day and night to keep us safe from the Coronavirus!

The coronavirus pandemic has left the world in a cloud of gloom. The people working day and night to save lives against the virus are the front liners that include doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical staff.

Due to the surge in demand for protective gear by the general public, there has been a decrease in the availability of masks, gloves and suits for the medical community who are extremely vulnerable without protection.

Celebrity couple, Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain have taken up a great initiative and have stitched the protective suit for the doctors at their home in order to support Pakistani designer, Asim Jofa who is already making these suits for the medical community on a larger scale.

Yasir Hussain shared a video message on his Instagram account and urged everyone to take part in this amazing opportunity to help the doctors, nurses and staff in this crucial time. Yasir mentions,

“If every household even manages to stitch one suit we will be able to help the medical staff immensely with the protection they truly need against this deadly virus!”

Fan favorites, Iqra and Yasir are spending their time in lockdown for this noble initiative and have asked every person out there with a sewing machine to do the same thing they have!

One protective suit would mean saving the life of one doctor/nurse/paramedic who in turn would save many more patients through all the hard work they put in day and night.

Local Pakistani clothing brands like Lulusar, outfitters and designer Asim Jofa have announced to work towards mass-producing these protective suits in their factories for the medical staff.

Fame can afford a person a lot of privileges, but immunity to the coronavirus COVID-19 is not one of them. As some celebrities misguidedly don hazmat suits and face masks to safeguard themselves, others have commenced wisely self-isolating as a preventative measure.

Several are using their platforms to urge everyone to stay informed and take this pandemic seriously. But since no one is immune, several celebrities, athletes, politicians, and other public figures have been diagnosed. As the pandemic continues, we will keep this list updated.

Here’s the list of popular people who have been diagnosed with the novel virus:

Greetings from Norway! Sorry to say that I, today, have tested positive for COVID19, Corona virus. My familiy and I are self-isolating at home for as long as it takes. We are in good health – I only have mild symptoms of a cold. There are people at higher risk for who this virus might be a devastating diagnosis, so I urge all of you to be extremely careful; wash your hands, keep 1,5 meters distance from others, go in quarantine; just do everything you can to stop the virus from spreading. Together we can fight this virus and avert a crisis at our hospitals. Please take care of each other, keep your distance, and stay healthy! Please visit your country's Center for Disease Control's website, and follow the regulations for staying safe and protecting not just yourselves, but our entire community, and especially those at risk like the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions. @grymolvaerhivju #fightcorona #solidarity #takecare #folkehelseinstituttet Thanks to @panoramaagency

Coronavirus has brought the economy to its knees and amid the endless efforts that the countries are putting in to combat the novel virus, we’re all struggling to overcome these critical times.

While the country is in lockdown, there are people who aren’t privileged enough and continue to suffer from hunger and basic necessities. The daily wage earners are striving to make ends meet.

However, Bykea, a three-year-old ride-hailing, and delivery service, today, has more than 500,000 bikes registered on its platform. It operates in some of Pakistan’s most populated cities, such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad has appealed from the government to allow their wage earners to aid the people of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad amid this lockdown so they can feed their families.

The popular motorbike App Bykea has also launched a huge amount of Rs.7 million relief fund for its driver-partners who are affected by the lockdown in the country. Bykea has announced that it had donated Rs. 4.5 million via contributions from its investors and employees, a major portion of whom offered a sizeable portion of their salaries to this fund.

Bykea also played a crucial role in guiding their riders on how to maintain good hygiene. They’ve asked to wear a face mask frequently and cover their hands with gloves at all times. They have also guided their employees to constantly use sanitizers and adopt a habit of washing hands after every 30 minutes.

The battle against the deadly virus is being fought valiantly by all the frontliners out there, the doctors, nurses, paramedics, other medical staff and the first responders too.

It is, however, a great disadvantage for the country when these people who are fighting day and night to save patients are not protected well enough from the threat themselves, you could compare the situation to sending out soldiers to fight the enemy without any armor! This shortage of protective gear including PPE suits and masks for the medical community has also led to the death of the young doctor from Gilgit who was treating patients with Coronavirus.

During this dire situation clothing brand, LULUSAR has announced that it has taken the initiative to restructure its factory to produce protective gear for those on the frontline. Lulusar will be supplying the essentials to doctors, nurses and medical facilities across Pakistan. Kudos to the team for helping out the country during this critical period.

Lahore-based Firm Develops ‘Splitter’ To Boost Ventilator’s Capacity

While coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on the globe and raise the cases of the affected people, the shortage of ventilators in Pakistan and every other country rises. However, during these tough times, a private engineering firm in Pakistan has found an innovative solution, which would allow several patients to use just one ventilator simultaneously.

A Lahore-based firm Alpha Rubber and Plastic Works manufactures auto parts, has formulated a splitter that attaches to the ventilator hoses and supplies oxygen to two to four patients at once and may be used several times.

Head of the private firm, Osama Usman stated that  ‘Plan 9’ of Punjab IT Board of (PITB) had reached out to them to develop the connector using the 3D printer prototype.

Source/ DailyMail

He added that the part was originally being manufactured by the PITB using the 3D printer technology. Osama also said that despite facing a lot of obstacles due to the prevailing lockdown in the state, his firm manufactured it on an emergency purpose only in 72 hours.

“Now we are manufacturing 1,000 ventilator connectors daily which is being supplied to various government and private hospitals in Punjab,” he further told.

Meanwhile, Hammad Khalique, who is head of business development at Plan 9, also stated that health specialists and experts have expressed questions over the safety and cogency of sharing ventilators.

He said the appliance should only be used in an emergency situation because the requirement of oxygen by a patient leans on his/ her age and a medical condition which is time-consuming and requires a lot of effort.

Source/ WeeklyVoice

“Now we are manufacturing 1,000 ventilator connectors daily which is being supplied to various government and private hospitals in Punjab,” he added.

Meanwhile, Hammad Khalique, who is head of business development at Plan 9, said that health experts and professionals have expressed questions over the safety and effectiveness of sharing ventilators.

“Keeping in mind worst-case scenario, we authorized its development,” he said, adding that if need be this method could be used given the fact that the number of ventilators in the region is very low.

The development of the connector has made Pakistan only the second country to have this technology after the United States which is worth applauding.

Osama said he is providing splitters to the hospitals free of charge and would supply this to the entire country if he was approached.

“I can supply connectors to the entire country and world free of charge,” he added.

Cars are precious assets we own. Often, because these metal machines can’t talk, we wind-up ignoring basic signals which can help save owners lots of cash.

Cars have important signals placed on the dashboard. They light up if something goes wrong. There are other signals as well a car hints at when something is fishy.

Here are 5 warning signs a car gives when there is a crucial problem in its engine:

1. Warning Lights

As mentioned above, the dashboard is full of symbols that represent different things. One of the symbols represents the engine and looks like one too. When the light comes on or flashes, this means there is trouble in paradise.

15 Important Symbols on Your Car Dashboard You Must Know About!

2. Noises Coming from Under the Hood

Often cars run smoothly without making a ruckus. However, if your car is making irregular noises that are driving you insane, it is a positive sign that there is a problem. Though the problem may not be limited to the engine, it can be something else too.

3. Driving/Performance Problems

Is your car not smooth enough on the road? There’s a problem! Is it stopping in the middle every now and then? There’s a problem! Is it eating too much mileage and not giving you enough KMs? There’s a problem! Yet another sign why you need to rush to the mechanic!

4. Smoke

Image Source: Total Car Collections

At times if the engine is getting too hot or has wiring problems, smoke will start to emerge from the vents and car hood. Keep a vigilant eye on such signs.

5. Bad Smell

If you smell foul odor inside the car, you need to visit a mechanic as soon as possible. When a radiator has issues, it can even smell like rotten eggs. On the other hand, if it’s very sweet, it could be leaking antifreeze. A failed catalytic converter also leaves behind a bad smell.

What other signs do you keep track of?
