Default Guys - Car Allowance???

Guys,

I have a car allowance of AED1,400p/month - what can I get for that at a rental company???

My potential employer also said that I could just get a loan at a really, really low rate... is this true!!!

PS I would only be looking for something medium to drive (no 4X4's)

Cheers

Ash

It's only been half an hour since you posted, give people a chance, especially with the time difference....and perhaps keep your questions in one thread rather than a seperate one each time, that way people have already answered some questions and will get an email notification.

Hi Beebee

Yep! Think this company a bit of a rip though! They charge more for a new model?

Lease price is often much lower if taken over the full year, mine went from 2020 down to 1500 when I done this.

There is a very knowledgeable British guy who does a regular Weds afternoon "car talk" slot on Radio 2 (99.3fm) and who answers listeners queries of this nature...I think he works for Automall or something similar. He is usually on from 5-6pm I believe.

I believe that used to be or still is Mark Brightmore. Is he still going? I used to enjoy listening to his show!
