you will probably have to wait till you get here for the cheap car. Pick up an auto trader or newspaper or ask a cab to take you to Al Awir which is an area with many used cars.

As for the driver license, I believe you will have to get that authenticated by the embassy here and then its either a matter of immediate issuing of a uae license or you may have to do a test.

Cheers,

tisk tisk tisk.... an error.... i dont think so

emphasis on "Al" in front of "Awir".

Obviously you would need to mention Al Awir for used cars.

Both are good places to go to for cheap cars but sweetie i dont think you would like to go around dubai with a cheap car do you? Sort out your driving license and after that you enjoy the sight of alot of fancy but not so expensive cars then you can decide. Aslo, depends on how much budjet ur coming with.

5K for a stang? what kind of an old shit box would that be? unless it's a foxbody which is simply disgusting :x .
the previous gen stangs go for the mid to high teens, if the '05 stangs picks up by the end of the year it'll ensure that prices of all the previous models drop accordingly.

Then again, not many chicks drive muscle cars......

I don't like the idea of sharing the road with a women behind the wheel of an overpowered rocket-like tank of a car.

And if you think a chick is just gonna pull up in a car and ask you to ride with her.....WTF!!!
Im not even gonna get started on that one.

You sir, may gobble on my knob!
The 05 Stang is lethal, not all muscle cars are from the cold war era...i'd rather have a chick in a beefed up chev than a prissy BMW....

Excuse me whilst i get my magnifying glass out to find it first! hahahahahahahahahahahhaa

Yes, I agree, the new Mustang is nice. I was seriously considering the new Vette. It was not badly priced at dhs.195K. 6.0l V8 400bhp.

you see the "Knob gobbling" wasn't the point of my post, i assumed that you shrugged that off and were talking about the car! seeing as ther is a stigma bout men and their engine displacment!
porsches still hold the number one spot for tiny wanged drivers.
