I, and Mrs RK, drive Volvo. Great cars and good value. I want the new XC60 starting around 140'000. Got an XC90 which I love but want the gadgets and gizmos with the XC60 and there are a boat load of them.
Might be worth checking www.automalluae.com for ideas.

X5's are not cheap here at around 185'000 to 230'000 AED. MB and BMW own the premium sector of the market and charge accordingly. The Japs are the real force though, Toyota claiming around 40% of total car sales. They have a good following but I find a bit samey and plasticy.

Re: How chewap are Cars in Dubai ?
The way you are looking at it all depends on the exchange rate last year it was 7 dh to the £, now 5.5 (and rising). When you get over here have a good look around and do some hard bargaining. When my mate went looking a few months ago he had about 5 cars in mind and eventually went for an Infiniti as he managed to get around 30,000 dh's off (approx) because they seemed keenest to take his business...
