I dunno. They have Chinese.

Mash, the Karachi Darbar additives have gone to your head

But they're open like 23 hours a day, man! 23 hours a day!

I cash American-sourced dollar cheques regularly at MeBank. Almost always they get it done in a month. Never less. Sometimes a bit more. What does it cost you? At MEBank, used to be Dhs 25 per cheque. Suddenly went up to Dhs 65 per cheque last year. Plus they use that exchange rate trick where they...

Are you kidding? Really? Interesting.

The Awir Used Car Market is located just off the Hatta Road before you hit Emirates Highway and there must be a hundred dealers in the complex. Sharjah's Used Car Market has moved recently but anyone you stop and ask in Sharjah is bound to know where to. Just do yourself a favour and be careful abo...

Wouldn't leave much left for food

I can feed a family for four well for Dhs 1k per month. What do you guys eat for breakfast? Caviar?

DEWA has no jurisdiction in Ajman. Who runs the electricity cartel in Ajman anyway? Costs would be around Dhs 700 max in the summer.

It depends on individuals lifestyle which has ben said over and over again. J Since our original poster is from India anyway, there is no point scaring him away by saying he cannot afford the rent on a 3-bd villa, eh? He will probably live like the rest of us poverty-line people from the Indian sub...

We are not all as bad as Arnie.

You already know your options.

I doubt the toll gates are equipped with speed cameras. Too big and obvious.

You might need a proper residence visa for a long-term car lease and an electricity connection. So what is your visa status anyway?

Take a look at International City too, although 2-bds are rare there. Within your budget though. 20 minutes from both places. I've done it in less.

I guess the exact car you wanted happened to be on the ship!

I don't think they will allow you to buy a car on a temp license, since the car reg is linked to the license. But of course, the authorities here are unpredictable, depending on who you talk to at the department.

why does the middle east get the outdated is300 when N.america gets the IS350 these days????? and any idea when the GS350 will come out here? The IS300 is not outdated. It's just a different V6 engine. The old IS300 in USA had an inline-6. The direct-injection IS350 V6 uses catalysts which cannot h...

Expensive. Has lots of computer problems whereby they just replace entire expensive chips instead of trying to repair them, since greasemonkeys are not computer engineers.

Models before 1995 did not have such issues. No complicated computers.

There is also a VTI model with fake leather that costs 67k+

thanks for that info gtmast, didnt know that. By the way, if you want a GS350, wait for the local ones. It will surely have less hp than USA due to removal of the direct injection feature, but the American ones again can't handle the petrol here. So expect the 272 hp ES350 engine in the GS here, in...

Jeevan and English Girlie know how to have fun without spending a fortune. Goose, well, he seems drunk so I didn't get what he said, although it seems he didn't spend much either.

It's easy to bribe those low-paid Sharjah cops. But if you offer too little, or you come across a straight-arrow, get your unfinished business in order, because you'll become an all-expenses-paid guest of the state.

Seriously, I read somewhere that there isn't even such a thing as a 7-star rating. It's just something that marketers made up for the Burj. Tomorrow, I'll open my own self-declared 11-star hotel.

cheap_Deal wrote:is the wait shorter or longer for manual transmission version??

I doubt they keep more than a handful of manual in stock. If they do, I can guarantee you that almost all are LXi, for the folks who want the cheapest of the cheapest.

You will find that most places have standardized prices, except for the small-timers at Computer Plaza (also known as Al Ain Centre) and Computer Street in Bur Dubai. But then, their warranties might be dubious. The hypermarts just hand off the after-sales to Jumbo, etc depending on brand. Like I bo...
