Suggest 2 Cars!

V-8 · Post by **V-8** » 23 Sep 2010, 5:17 pm

Fellows, I'm new to dubai.. I want to buy two cars, please suggest best options according to my needs;

1) For Family:

- I've got around 25k AED budget for it.
- Should be economical in terms of maintenance.
- Must have Quick Resale. (I might replace it in 6-8 months)
- Good cabin/trunk space.
- Preffered Sedan, but old 4x4 can also work considering economical maintenance first.

Some ppl suggesting Nissan Altima 2.5. share your reviews for that.

2) For Fun & Sports Activities: (plan to buy within next 6 months)

- I've got around 50k to 60k budget for it.
- Looking for 500+ bhp
- Must have good resale as I'm expat (never know when need to pack-up

)

Can I get Supra Turbo in that range ?

hmmm if you could stretch it to 30K you could get a decent accord (personally prefer over the altima)

50-60k and 500hp.... not going to happen, you can get a decent lumina SS for that and Supra's are generally 70-100k for an american LHD one, the Right to left conversions are cheaper but being expats we cant register then, only locals can.

50-60k and fast

Mustang GT
Lumina SS
you do find some Evo's and Subarus around that price range
Loads of Golf GTi's and some R32's - Also some SEAT's aswell
Mini Cooper S and some works ones aswell

All i can think of atm really... oh and welcome, where abouts you come from anyway?

50-60k will not get you a Supra nor will it get you 500+ bhp.

For 25k, get an Accord 2003-2005.

^Cobra sounds cool...

Fellows, wht is the best option in SUVs within 30k budget. Do consider quick resale as most important!

It's a brilliant machine, and the cheapest I've seen was 35 to 40k a year back.

@ OP: 30k, SUV? Depends on the size! An X-Trail might fit the budget, so would a Pajero.
