need help on buying a car...please

Postby saparda on Thu May 21, 2009 1:03 am

HELLO ^_^

am planning on buying a car, and i had my eye on the Infiniti G37 Coupe

the problem is "The Price", i was in shock when the dealer in Dubai told the price "209K"!!!

so that's a little bit over my budget BUT i still want it so bad ^_^

so am gonna buy a used one but i dont know where to go?..am not from UAE so i need help yo guys...can someone tell me where i can find a good used G37 in dubai, i mean like a showroom or something....please.

also i heard that MAYBE in June the dealers will lower the prices, is that true?

It will be very hard to find a used G37 on the market, as it is so new here!
Keep searching here on this site, and if anything is on sale in UAE, it will come up here. Maybe you can find some distress seller..but you will have to be fast as car dealers will be fast to pick anything up.

June..I can't say. Everyone says that June/July will be the bottom of this economic downturn as those who have lost their jobs but have kids in school will probably be packing up and moving back home during summer. This should effect 2nd hand prices. However, I am not sure about new car dealers. The dealers so far have not shown too much discount..they just offer freebies like service and insurance packages but not reduced prices.

Some smart alec probably thought...."how do we make up our profit while selling less cars these days?" "Eureka, we raise the prices!! That way we make same money by selling half as many cars".

We need the 'let em rust' middle-east consumer campaign here as well!

hey guys thankx for dropping by....

hey T.N.T

it's not just it's OVER PRICE here the GCC specifications for the car is totally different

in the US they have MANY options like journey , Sport 4WD!!!!!!!>>>this one is killing me

here NO, also in the US there is a 10GB HDD in the stereo system here NO

heated side mirors not available also

i dont know why the hell these options are not available in the GCC one, all i know is (i think) it has 350HP while in the US is 330HP

but even with these big differences AM STILL hocked, i want it so baaaaaaad....

dont get fooled by hp numbers guys please. some manufacturers report it in NET while others use GROSS hp. NET does not account for transmission hp losses.
so the greedy uae dealers use NET as it shows a higher number, while in the US they use GROSS.

the g35 /g37 engine is exactly same here and US, so is the exhaust. we dont get any more power because of less stringent emissions either. all misconceptions. yes we get the same radiators too lol
