My wife is flogging her car....
 
Not sure if i am allowed to post this here...

Anyway, yesterday we popped into a garage just for a look and ended up buying a new car, it is getting delivered soon.

So..my wife is selling her Toyota Prado VX. Its 2006 top of the range model. The one with the spare tyre underneath. It is silver with grey leather interior.
We have a Toyota service agreement from new so it has always been serviced at Al Futtaim.

We bought it brand new in 06 and it has done approx 90,000Kms never ever taken offroading.

The only issue we have had was around 2 years ago the AC compressor went, and we replaced it. Apart from that, its been perfect.

Of course, it has the small scratches etc that one would expect from a 6 year old car in this country, but it has never been in an accident.

Plus my wife drives like a pansy so its never been thrashed.

Anyway, anyone know of anyone who is on the lookout for a reliable 4x4 with a known history, drop me a line.

Cheers

most unlike me and the missus. We usually procastinate over spending 10AED on a milkshake. Felt good though. For the first time we actually immediately agree'd on the car and went for it.

We have been looking for a while but never agreed on a car. Everything ranging from an M3 (my choice) to a mini cooper (her choice):D

We reached a compromise with a VW Golf 'R'.

That's cheap.

I'll ask around the office and see if there is any interest.

Cheers. That's about the going rate for them. With this one though, its history is genuine and it really has had one careful lady owner
