hi guys long time no post :s :s
any how I'm confused which ride to buy since I never owned any one before
1- Honda prelude : I found it for 23-22k dhms 115000km model 2001 ( nice H22 engine ) but auto
tranny :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ( dunno about cons & pros for this one )

2- eclipse model 95 ( I know there are hell lodda of them in sharjah but it's cool ) FWD 22-24k dhms
mileage same as prelude , but they seem to catch rust sooo easy ( are they like this or?????? )
( price is liddle hi since they got some modds but NOT serious ones )

3- now this is a real boy-toy hell of a dream ,, GTR 33 fully hard core modded ( & I mean that :) :) )
very clean & neat, & the best thing it's abu dhabi registered 8)
asking price 90k dhms ( I'm gonna squeeze my self to get it but the real life is some thing else )
besides I'm taking driving lessons for a motor bike DL so I should keep something for the winter :!:

advice me please since I have no idea about maintaining any of them here in emirates esp in AUH!!

cheers 8) 8)
