Hi Guyzzz...
I was planning to buy a Nissan Altima 2.5S Full Option
Arabian Automobiles is givin it for AED72000
and i was plannin to give AED 10000 as Downpayment to save on interest

But now nother option hav come up in ma mind...
thats to take the basic one (AED 61000)
so instead of giving AED 10000 as downpayment....
i can use it for modding the ride...

so if u guyz cud
help me utilizing that 10K

will be nice of u all

cheers

1. Count 4k to 5k dhs, if you want something that doesn't fall apart straight away. Also, get lowering springs (1000dhs) otherwise you will look like a 4x4
2. 600-1000-ish dhs
3. don't get one, it's ugly. :)

modding here means modifying.... and in case you don't know what is modifying.... here is a bit of help from my side

MODIFY :-
1 - to change something slightly, especially in order to make it suitable for a particular purpose.....

whereas for MODIFICATION :-
1 - the act of process of changing something in order to improve it or make it more acceptable; a change that is made.....


^ the above words are straight from the great OXFORD DICTIONARY, so no argues.... they aren't and can't be wrong !!

hope you got to understand something ! :D

Well, I hope you won't buy a fwd saloon for the "handling" and all. I think it's a pretty smooth ride though. I drive along in Altima's before, and they're not bad to be honest..
