These guys, especially the first one, guarantee the cars they sell, and so that gives you major peace of mind. Yes, they will be a few thousand more e...

Hey, I must say go with Hertz, for super service, or go to any hole-in-the-wall rent-a-car for super savings. Hertz once upgraded me to the next level of car for the whole 4 months i used it. And i paid only for a manual T.Echo! The smaller guys will give you Lancer/Sunny/Corolla/Echo, but cheaper t...

Hi, I think it will help your decision if you just remember that the penalties of the licenced car owner who lets an unlicenced person drive are real high, including black points on licence, impounding car, or even suspension of licence. So, if there is someone you REALLY don't like, go ahead and ta...

Hi all, Was hoping to get some pointers from you on the feasibility of doing a 10-day backpacking trip across Europe. Want to fly in anywhere, and then hopefully get train reservations so that most nights can be on the train. Minimal hotel reservations, and if necessary, train back to port of entry ...

Hi, Again, personally, I prefer a manual, but you would get a better value if you were trying to sell an automatic. Still, when buying a Wrangler, you're committing to a lifestyle, and its not like buying any other Japanese 4 door. If you're looking for creature comforts and good resale value, a Wra...

Hi again, As I said, all insurance companies provide off-road cover FOR A FEE!! It is not covered by regular policies. It is like getting insurance for going to Oman.

Hi tdot.. For the most peace of mind, I would recommend first visiting the Audi dealer and checking their used cars. Another option is the Al Futtaim Automall or 4x4 motors, both of which have online lists of available vehicles. These dealers guarantee the cars they sell, and that is a huge load off...

Oops, my bad..

Checked with some experts, and yes, there is gonna be a drop in engine capacity in the 2007 Wrangler. It'll be the 3.7L V6 currently in use in the Cherokee/Liberty.

The value of the 4.0L one will probably go up now!

hey! Don't encourage Jeep by buying the Compass, PLEASE! Have no idea about the pricing, but would then recommend a Cherokee. It starts at 80k something or so, and is a great car. Had it for a year, and only sold it to get me a Wrangler. If you're stepping up to a 4x4, the Cherokee is a great option.

you can block these companies from sending you SMS again. Just send an SMS to 1011 mentioning the name or short-code you received the message from. These are third party companies, and not etisalat directly. For eg., if you receive a message from 2244 & u wanna block them, just type 'b 2244' and...
