Re: Advice on car loan
Dad's had several, the only problem he ever had was putting petrol in his diesel one. Got taken back to the garage (he'd had it all of about 3 weeks), asked the salesman to ring him on Monday and he'd buy a petrol one.
Never got the call.
Silly salesman.

Also decided I'm not going brand new- think I'm going to go via Al Futtaim Automall.
Which leads me to my next question- does anyone know where the showroom has moved to in Abu Dhabi?

Not yet- think I'm set on a personal laon, although haven't had chance to talk to the bank!

Excessive spanking of the monkey is taking it's toll on you. I bet you have some impressive callouses on your palms too.

Re: Advice on car loan
You can normally get a much better deal second hand if you look on Dubizzle, or small ads in places such as Spinneys or Abela, rather than going to a dealer/automall. If you are not in a rush, wait until someone advertises one massively under-priced, often when they need to sell it quickly before leaving the country. All 3 of my cars came that way, and 2 I sold about a year later for the same that I paid, or even a small profit. Just make sure you know how to check them over closely, or take a friend who does.
As you will have seen people say over and again in other posts, minimise your borrowings while in the UAE. Taking out a huge loan for a new car just after you have arrived would be lunacy.
