Never mind. I took it anyway. But the higher spec instead, V6 2.7L.

Now, is there any Tucson owners group in Dubai/UAE?

I'm totally new to own a car. Other than change on the engine, what can void the warranty of a new car? While keeping the warranty, is it Ok to install/change/upgrade? - audio system with amp & sub - keyless entry remote - alarm system - rims & tires - spoilers & sidestep - air & oil...

lol, you dont wait too long do you xty? from what i hear the tucson is quite good generally and will be a good fun ride to have :) hehe I've been eye-ing the Tucson for some times ago. But since my parents are coming where I require bigger car, that pushed me to buy immediately (than wasting the mo...

Ok, from your info, my first things to do after getting the car delivered (Tucson V6 2.7L 4WD standard): - To upgrade/replace factory default audio system with third party audio system (CD + speakers + amp): surely i can't complain to the dealer if something goes wrong with the new system, except to...

Got modem-router installed with 512Kbps DSL connection at home. Need to setup a nanny cam (hooked to router if possible so home laptop can be switched off) which broadcasts/uploads real time video (if bandwidth is sufficient) or uploads pics at some interval to internal storage or a website.

So my wife got a job in a big & reputable company and the company insisted that her residence visa (currently under my sponsorship) is transferred to their employment visa. I said (from what I've seen in this forum) to my wife that she can get labour card without transferring the visa. The HR in...

Thanks for the info. There are 2 things I see in this case: - The higher fee as dbxsoul explained. - The employer wants a security so that the employee (my wife in this case) can't change job easily. Because I assume if she's still under my sponsorship, then if something goes wrong the employer can'...

Correct me if I'm wrong. So from my understanding there are: - labour ban (by ministry of labour, identified by labour card) - residency ban (by immigration, identified by residence visa). For the wife who works but still under husband's sponsorship (with labour card), both may be applied. Means lab...

if your wife works under the companys residency sponsorship and her employment with the company is cancelled, they will automatically cancel her residency sponsorship (30 days to leave the country), she is not banned from re-entering the country though - which was the case under the old law (which ...

Publishing is a small industry here... most industries outside property are small. In my opinion (as I'm in this field), apart from property, retail & logistics are also two big businesses in Dubai. Look on how many malls & shops in town which relates directly to warehouse & logistics (...

Just got one myself today (Tucson V6 2.7L 4WD). I believe there are many Tuc owners in Dubai, but I can't find a forum/group/club (at least online) to share information, discuss, etc. I know there are several Tuc forums outside. But geographically and by specifications they are different. So if ther...

Thanks. For 2008 model (no difference than before), I got it for 66000 (standard option as I don't want to spend extra thousands for useless sunroof and other options). I care less but there's promotion going on to get a free laptop. The lower spec (2.0L 4-cyl) costs 62000. Prado surely a lot more e...

Join the foreign forums. Those Americans who are on fanclub-style forums are way more knowledgeable about their cars than anyone else in the world.

Hehehe yes you can call me "Dude" and thanks i know where i am "Dubai forum". I ask that because 66000AED is around 18000$ which is tooooo cheap...in my country is double Dubai/Middle East is heaven for car buyers. That model costs almost triple in my country as 4x4 SUV is not v...

Visited DMS for first time, clearly it's a new car market only because about 70-80% of booths/stands are occupied by car dealers and tuners/detailers. I was expecting more into accessories (including audio) and they occupied a tiny hall at the back with no more than 20 small booths. Totally differen...

I remember in the last car show in 2005, they had a huge hall for car accessories, i guess it wasnt successful.. There is a place of Sheikh Zayed Road, in time square, its called yellow hat, its supposed to be really good, but im not sure if they opened yet.. What type of accessories are you lookin...

So it rains only couple of times in a year. If we don't drive the car on the beach sand, is rust-proofing still necessary in Dubai? Is it necessary to apply to a new car? How much the cost approximately?

xty

So I guess I don't have a single chance anyway even by local installer? That's sad. I guess I'll have to import it as they (crutchfield) offer extra cage, harness, and installation guide specific to the car model (that's what they're claiming) for free. And I'm pretty sure that the Tucson is the sam...

Yesterday I got a quote from a shop at Emarat Mankhool. They use NanoLux brand (nanolux.com). They quoted for SUV: 800 Dhs for sides & back (Nano 30%, dark) + 600 Dhs for front (Superlux 60%, clear) for total of 1400 Dhs (before discount of 10% or so). I don't know if this brand is good or not (...

I'm looking for ideas (available in Dubai) where me & my wife (both are working) can do some activities together in our spare time to keep the marriage fresh, while also not to put aside our child. For example going to a gym or dance class for both of us is already on my mind, but I'm not sure t...

Just got another quotes from "Our Car" (Burjuman) that use 3M. For SUV: For rear & sides: FX series (40% heat rejection) = 750 Dhs (choose of darkness, no price difference) CS series (Color Stable, 50% heat rejection) = 900 Dhs (choose of darkness, no price difference) Crystalline (the...

Installing stereo equipment with crutchfield harnesses is pretty easy. Ever car I've had I've done on my own, american cars especially aren't too fancy when it comes to taking stuff apart.

Got to be kidding me. Come on, there's no single Tucson owner here? It's like I see them almost every 5 minutes when traveling on SZR going/from work. It's one of most popular compact SUV around here (and in some other countries). I think I'm gonna make some flyers and slip it on each Tucson parked ...
