Yes! All auto loan defaulters have their cars repossessed by Banks and sold by Golden Bell. There are others as well, let me see if I can get hold of some more names!

A lorra lorra miles on the clock though.

According to the other link on the page, it went for Dhs25,500.

106,251km might sound a lot, but it's only 66,000 miles - for a modern performance engine, that's only just run-in!

Seriously, with modern engines from decent manufacturers you can easily be looking at doing 250,000km before any expensive work needs doing. And if you only paid AED 25,500 for a luxury car in the first place, you're laughing.

The major caveat is that you need to be sure the car's been looked after properly, regularly serviced and not badly crash-repaired. Assuming that's all OK, you'd be getting a bargain and a half; an awful lot of car for silly-cheap money. Someone else has taken a bath on the depreciation and got the car to the point where the engine will have loosened up nicely and be giving its maximum performance.

Agreed..... Saw a 911 convertible worth 180,000 go for a bargain price of 80,000 dhs.

someone got a right bargain...!
