Hi,
I have tried search of websites for cars prices, but have had no luck. The ones I have found have very few venhicles. Can anyone direct me to a similar site such as car parkers price guide, or autotrader for Dubai?
Cheers.

Boxster = 159,700 AED = £24k (£33k in UK)
Boxster S = 186,200 AED = £28k (£39k in UK)
I've had look on Porsche's website, for both the UK & UAE, and the prices are roughly 30% cheaper. That is such a good deal, plus petrol is so cheap.
Is insurance around 4.5% as well, and you can't get full comp once it's over 5 years old?
AED 280K for a used Range Rover, I'd rather buy a brand new bottom of the range 911.

Do you think it's worth buying something a couple of years old, or go with a brand new car?

If you are buying used, I would also recommend getting it from a reptutable dealers. I have heard nightmare cases from friends here who have dealt with some more 'prominent' dealers, and my lesson learnt here is to find the right person in the right dealership.
