Vehicle Leasing
I have searched the forums, and there are only a couple of posts about vehicle leasing.
I may be coming out to Dubai shortly and will be getting a car of some description but my wife and children will be joining me at some stage in the near future and she will need a car.
Does anyone know the approximate lease costs of a Landcruiser?
Many thanks.

If anyone currently leases a Landcruiser or something similar, please let me know what the costs are.
Thanks

Re: Vehicle Leasing
Which Landcruiser?
What they call a Landcruiser in the UK is a Prado over here, whilst in the UK the Amazon is a Landcruiser here.
The latter is normally driven very badly by locals over here, so when you see one in the rearview mirror you normally come to expect the worst.

It will be used by my wife during the week to trog the kids around, and then at weekends to possibly tow a boat and load the diving kit in.
Thanks

Re: Vehicle Leasing
Forget Range Rover, service and repair costs are a bit extreme. Better off sticking with Japanese.
You would possibly be better getting a car loan over 5 years and buying the car (although you will need to lease something until you get the residents visa). Although in the current market you might struggle getting a loan tbh.
I would estimate lease costs for a Prado would possibly be around 3300Dhs per month with insurance and maintenance included. Check if your company has any agreements with local dealers.

Re: Vehicle Leasing
Thanks for the post and yes I did use google but couldn't find any quotes/costs for leasing a car long term, the only costs I could find were for standard short term hire, not long term lease.
If anyone currently leases a Landcruiser or something similar, please let me know what the costs are.
