New Arrival - New Car

Postby pj2000 on Thu Aug 09, 2007 3:31 pm

Folks,

A couple of weeks now until i move over BUT it's time to think a bit more about what car to get, looking at a budget of app. 140k AED

Options are:

Volvo XC90, Porsche Cayenne, Nissan Murano, Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee, Dodge Charger R/T........

I'd also be keen on an Evo or Impreza but these don't seem to be too common or am i wrong?

Thoughts, opinions & experiences are all welcomed!!

Thanks - PJ.

Your list confuses me. It contains SUVs, a muscle car and 2 'sushi burners'. Well, what exactly are your requirements?
If you want an STi or atleast WRX, you'll have to import it yourself. And being an EVO owner, I don't really recommend as the ownership experience isn't that great except from the 110 km/h roundabout drifts ofcourse :twisted: .

No real specific requirements, i like the look of the SUV's listed, i've driven some high powered muscle and enjoyed that. I've also always been an EVO/Impreza fan (also like the RX8/350z but i'd prefer the space/practicality?? of a 4/5door)....

These are just the few that i like and would consider and was keen to get opinions/experience anyone has had....

for your 140K AED budget, an brand new Evo 9 fits the bill perfectly, you will even have about 8-10k left over for mods :D

Yeah, but did you need to import your Evo? or are they available in the UAE?

EVO is available in the uae brand new. i dont think the dealer offers any warranty on it though (not sure). one of the evo owners can confirm this?

No, you don't need to import it and no, they don't offer warranty.

I think i did read that about the warranty somewhere..........a bit strange, but before you're buying an EVO you tend to know what your buying and why you're buying it anyway...
