strangehold.com | the official blog of david george-cosh: On buying a car in the UAE

  • Jen Gerson · 5 months ago
    Dude, I got a brand new peugeot 2008 with a three year warranty for Dh67,000. Granted it's no Beamer, but it has an ipod connection, a good stereo a huge sunroof and partial leather seats.

    Drive a quality car and you'll understand why I ain't driving a Peugeot. That car's got too many issues I would rather not deal with.

    Wow, I didn't know you were in the market to buy a luxury car. You should've asked around on twitterverse! I just sold my old Audi sedan a couple of days ago for a little more than that 5-series Bimmer.

    Anyways, I'm back in the market too, although I'm probably shopping in a different segment - used ///M3 or A5 coupes at reasonable rates.

    Good luck with the search matey!

    P.S.: I'm not trying to sound pedantic here but it's 'Bimmer' and not 'Beemer'.

    Argh! That would have been a sweet car/deal too! Too bad... let me know if you hear of anything though.

    Bimmer, eh? I guess the North American in me wants it to be called "Beemer". I stand humbly corrected.

    Maybe it's a thing with Canucks; we Yanks don't use that. ;)
