buying a used car

Postby umair.a.rashid on Mon Aug 24, 2009 12:58 pm

Hi, I'm new in the UAE and I'm looking to buy a car. It'll probably be used since I have a rather limited budget. I was thinking of buying the 1998-1999 BMW 740i or 740iL, but before I do that I would like to know about the maintenance costs and insurance for keeping this ride.

Thanks.

My suggestion would be to go with something newer, atleast as your primary car.
Old cars have their share of issues, and 7-series though tempting, can be very expensive if things go wrong.
Come and discuss at the most lively forums about Cars, Bikes, 4x4s...at http://www.autodealer.ae at the Autodealer UAE Forums.
