Hello,
I'm coming over to Dubai next year, from the UK, and have been reading up on the traffic and general state of driving.
Having a young family, and wanting to protect them and myself!, I have decided to buy a couple of 4x4s when we get there.
I have a travel allowance of 2.4k pm and have decided to blow this and spend 3k a month on a new XC90 - which comes fully kitted out and has the advantage of 7 seats. I was thinking that this safe car would be good for the wife and kids.
I was therefore thinking of a second hand 4x4 for myself - perhaps a japanese (although I like the Landrover discovery, but am cautious about reliability). What do people recommend - Jeep Cherokee or a Toyota or Nissan? What can I get for about 1.5k a month?
Anyway - I haven't seen any xc90s on sale on the second hand ads in Dubai, and whilst they get very good write-ups - are there any downsides to these cars (apart from the styling - I'm buying it more for the safety)?
The new xc90 costs around 160kDhs.
Cheers,
Shafique
