For some, the car is less powerful than cars like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Jeep Safari. Some believe its design hasn't changed over the years, and the greatest interest in this category lies in the Toyota Land Cruiser, which is superior in terms of reliability, spaciousness, more readily available spare parts, and the availability of technicians capable of working on it. Some also consider it better at handling desert conditions and off-roading than the Pajero, while others believe the Pajero is better than the Cherokee and a second choice after the Land Cruiser.
The difficulty of reselling it is also due to the high tax rates on it due to its large engine size. The car is also widely used by traders, contractors, and quarry owners for its four-wheel drive and off-road capabilities, so its poor condition is assured. Its high price also makes some prefer luxury sedans over it.
Although some consider it second only to the Toyota Land Cruiser, there are expectations that the Toyota Fortuner will prevail at the present time because it has lower operating costs and lower fuel costs. The difficulty of selling the car is only after a period of time due to the high price of gasoline, which makes it difficult to sell. It is fuel-hungry, and its operating costs are extremely high due to its large engine. There is also a larger market in this category for Toyota Land Cruisers and Nissan Patrols, as many counterfeit or welded versions of these cars are sold in the Egyptian market, making it very difficult to sell the Pajero.
Also, Pajero owners are few in Egypt, and those who know or understand it are few. That's why we see a greater preference for the Nissan Patrol over it, the Wrangler, and other four-wheel drive vehicles, while the car is more commonly found in tourism companies.
