I need to buy a car but since I don’t know anything about cars I thought of asking here. What I’m looking for is something not above 6 or 7 thousands, of course good looking. I don’t know about other things but I’ll give you a clue of what I want the car to look like. Passat, Rover and Audi A4 and A6. I’m waiting for your suggestions.

and if u want a car which looks like the a6 a4 and the rover.. um... lumina
is for 7 thousand
and if u pay 2 thousand more get the lumina SS

5.7 L

i think you should get the pasat my freind has one and she is so comfortable with it.

haso0on
24-09-03, 02:37 PM
isnt the passat for 9 ?

4-ever-young
24-09-03, 02:55 PM
the full option one costs approx 10k no 1 that is..the no 2 doesnt have much so i dont think it worth buying passat!

How about Subaru "Legacy" how much do they cost nowadays?

I don't like 2 doors car so what I'm looking for is 4 doors. I thought about pejuet but I'm not sure. I'm looking for a good service as well, so do pejuet provide that?

it's too expinsive for me as I said i'm looking for 6 or 7 thousands. Maybe Bora or the new bettle although Im not sure about the prices.

24-09-03, 04:49 PM
I have the same problem, but I wasn't thinking of getting a car now.
Anyway, Bora is a nice car :) I don't like beetles.. If you're feeling comfortable with Bora, I'd suggest to go for it!

First of all, what is your purpose for having a car? Is it for daily commute, or you plan to have a hybrid daily drive/strip (race) duty, or is it all-out race? A daily driven car would be one that, preferably, is cost-efficient and will not be too much to maintain. I could suggest the Honda Civic in this case, as it is an excellent daily driver, and if you want to, you can later on modify it with aftermarket parts for strip duty (or you just have that need for speed).

You know very well that if you pay with downpayment you're actually paying more than the car's sticker price, don't you?

haso0on
25-09-03, 01:29 AM
yeah i do
but u could buy that car...

Endure Whisper
25-09-03, 04:09 AM
By the way how much does the Bora cost with down payment?

haso0on
25-09-03, 11:37 AM
these prices are without down payments:

the Special Edition is around 6 (as i heard)
the 2.0 is around 5
the 1.6 is around 4

Of course I'll buy the car with down payment. I'm not planning to buy the car now but I just wanted to have an idea of the options I have. I can't pay 6 k just like that!!!! I will start work next month and I won't have my salary till after 3 months. That means if I'll buy a car it'll be by January maybe. Now I'm using my sister's car.
I went to check rav4 and camry yesterday and both of them are for 8 k. I also went to check lumeena number 4 is for 7 k and Subaru, Legacy and they have an offer foror it, 7 k with full options, but I heard that it uses petrol alot.
I think I'll go with peguet after all.

haso0on
25-09-03, 03:05 PM
lumina number 4
is for 7 K

i'd rather get a SS for 9 thn buy number 4

Which peugout though?

25-09-03, 04:16 PM
since you are talking about Bora, it is a nice car but you can consider Golf or even Peguet 307 which is amazing[both are at the same price range i belive]

also cars in the class you mentioned, passat/a4/rover they dont come in the price you want, unless some of them i think passat number 3 is 7 K.

but keep in mind Milliardo Peacecraft 's suggestion

haso0on
26-09-03, 01:26 AM
i think the 407 is for 6 k

Mini is a really nice car. My brother had it. Are you sure about the price haso0on?!! Maybe they have reduced the prices now. I wuld really love to have that car although it has 2 doors. Or you meant the 4 doors one? maybe that's for 10 K

H@$$@N
29-09-03, 08:06 PM
think about the 307 or 206 cc
it look's good
and the price is resonable

How much is Golf VW ?

That car is nice, I took it for a test drive once and I feel in love with it.

If you want a reliable car, I advice you to go for ford. I have been using ford scince I started driving and it is a good car . Very light and quite strong.

Check this website: Ford: Focus (http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/focus/glance/index.asp#Focus_SE_Sedan)

30-09-03, 03:20 PM
my sister bought golf for around 5500 but i think the prices went up since then because of the new model coming on and euro changes.
its a good car but if it had some problems you gonna pay alot for the spare parts and stuff.
Ford Focus is nice, dunno about the spare parts and its quality though, although Mondeo which is at the same level as passat but costs less.

Honda provides very good service here in the Philippines, so I can say that this would be true elsewhere. Very reliable. My car is 10 years old, and it still runs very well.

Hey clowny, I drove echo and I also drove a BMW 525 and believe me if I had the chance I would buy the BMW. It's true that echo doesn't drink alot of petrol but the safety is ZERO = 0

I think I'm gonna choose between Audi and Pasat that's my last decision. I know it costs more then my budget but I think it's worh wbuying or what do you think ppl?

haso0on
03-10-03, 08:03 PM
yea i think its better to buy either the Audi or the VW Passat
bcoz their safer, stronger, looks nice...

H@$$@N
03-10-03, 11:09 PM
i think that the a4 is alot better than the passat
it look speacial , beautiful , unique

haso0on
03-10-03, 11:25 PM
yeah
but the passat is bigger from the inside, and stronger

we'll its up to BloodRose to choose :)

H@$$@N
05-10-03, 09:09 PM
so did u choose ?!

Namika
06-10-03, 07:57 AM
Well I don't know till now, I'm confused. I'll just go to the VW showroom and Audi too then I'll decide. But it'll be one of the for sure. I saw the passat and it looks really great from the inside. I'll let you know when I decide inshaallah. Thanks alot for the help guys

Ok I know you ppl will hate me for this..... ok here it comes.. I won't buy the car now as i don't have money. I might buy it by January but not for sure either. My sister has a car, echo, but she went for studies so I'm driving her car at the moment. Everyone in the family is telling me not to buy a car now and I can use my sister's car till she gets back.

But her car is manual and I wanna drive Auto because of my back problem so I think that I'll buy the car when I get money. So I can buy it in Ramadhan, althoug I heard some say that in Ramadhan they just wanna get rid of old cars that's why they have offers.

haso0on
10-10-03, 04:54 PM

I asked about rover and I was told that after 2 years it doesn't work well. And when I buy a car I prefer to buy number 1. Though I like who rover looks like. It was one of my options till I asked about it. For how long did you have your car? I assume you have rover right?

Kia, My cousin bought it... if I am not mistaken the model is Rio.. In terms of the car safety i must say it is very low.. the car look very good, but when you are in it, it feels like you are going to fly very soon! And if it get accidents (Allah forbid) then everyone in the car could be smashed with it. I dont know why but I dont trust that car when it comes to security.

yesterday when i went to the exsebition, i saw the Rio, the body of the car is really thin, but the inter. of the car is really nice..how much did your cousin buy it for? if more than 10K then he should have bought the Skoda, the one which looks like the passat, for 10K, number 1, stronger body, more security, and above all its not Korean!

2nd-German cars r good solid cars, so a VW Bora is a good option,service is every 15k & its cheap.

3rd-2 door cars "sports" will cost u so much to insure.

alright alright u need a car first of all the cars you should AVOID!
1-AUDI S3 (too expensive for what you get)
2-audi TT (too many technical issues)
3-Rover

something you should look into is the New Golf which is coming early in the summer the new cooper cabroilet (convertible)
and about insurance dont go 4 a 2door car becuase insurance would cost more so its good that your not going 4 a 2door
and if your looking for something sporty yet elegent you shold go for the Pegoet 307 which is selling like hot cakes and theyre many options.
and if your looking for a nice saloon you can go for the new and revised Passat W8 (which is the new engine) but that will cut you back a good 12grand.
another thing you shold look into is the alfa 147 but then again thats 2door
well you just tell me what your candidates are and i'll tell you the pro's and cons!
as long as its not an american car you'd be fine. and yeah they are alot of good japanese cars coming up in the market. with your price rang of 6>7 thousand you can get yourself a decent german or a top of the range jap

First I said that I want a car that is not more than 6k.... well i think I changed my mind... now I want one of 2... Pasat or Audi A4.... or what about jaguar?!!!

the jag is a good car, service is good 2, mmm i think u should go for the Audi or the passat caus theyre both in the same class. but i feel the passat has more engine choices to choose from.
the Jag X-type or the S-type r both really nice but a lil pricey tho (dono how much theyre going for now)

the dealer is Wa6iya Motors (Zubair Auto)
and they have the parts and everything
and trust me, my friend is Zubair, and he said that they are both the same, but the skoda is cheaper!
and i went into the skoda which looks like the Passat, identical!

I think from those small cars, I would go for Ford Focus.

Its Spanish made, German Technology used on wheels. I don't know some how I love that car. You get 17Km/1litre of petrol. This is amazing actually.

Its body is strong; I saw that here in Australia when we had an accident on Western Freeway. I understood that day it has very good body. Its pulling is not bad, very good spacing, you feel like comfortable with the seating, and it’s ergonomically healthy for your sitting. The leg can be kept 90 degree bent and can be opened to 120 degree wide which is actually freeing the blood to your feet, it doesn’t make swelling if you sit for a long time. I’ve taken it from Melbourne to Perth, Perth to Adelaide, and Adelaide to Melbourne back again, it was comfortable ride. It gives me the feeling that I’m in a C class Merc. The car is heavy and safe for speeding.

I don’t know why I liked it although I’ve been driving better than that back in England, but I feel this Ford Focus is amazing car….

Salaam to everyone,hope ur all fasting & in ur best behavior :D

Mr v6 4motion,it seems u havent been to Oman for a long time,Skoda has just been introduced recently to the Omani Market,thats why u see less Skodas on the road,where as in U.A.E they have been in the market for a long time,hence u see more of them there.

I have a Mitsu. Pajero & have used Mitsu Service in Oman a couple of times & I have to say they were good,their prices were cheaper than Dubai where I normally send the car for service.

I'm sure once the Skoda picks up in the market it will be driven by everyone & if its the same as VW Passat & cheaper by RO1000 then its good value for money.........

WHAT DO U THINK GUYS.... :wink:

well mr "Da man" i was in oman all summer, so i havent been there for a month or so now.
well if you look at skoda's sales INTERNATIONALLY its what shows how its REALLY doing and 2 tell u the truth theyre not doing very well.
oman and the gulf is such a SMALL market
and besides zubair compared 2 other car dealerships in oman theyre service and customer service is a lil slacking. theyre O.K but theyre slacking.
they sell good cars but they need 2 work on customer satisfaction. like bahwan
well im not puting the skoda down but u paying that extra 1000 riyal ur paying QUALITY of a german car

Thanks guys for all your help....

I think I'll go for the Pasat number 1, even my brother in low says I should go for it and he knows alot about cars.... so if you see a new Pasat by the end of Ramadhan that would be me :D

its been my pleasure dealing with you guys.... when I decide to change my car I'll contact you again ;)

I asked the price of the rover, it is about 6,987 nearly 7,000... that is the given price but If a person wants to buy it they can go lower than that.

This Ford Focus thingy, I don't know really what to say, its comfortable car, I love it so much.

While travelling we had this bed spread with us, we could flat down the back seat to the front put two pillows and sleep while we both felt tired of driving.

I will get back to Oman and buy me a ford focus for sure.... I LOVE THAT CAR :love:

Exactly Princess...


You know V6, I had a Jaguar sport back in England, I hated it because of it is so expensive to change anything in it. A plug would cost me around 70-100 pounds... its too much.... a super filter would cost me I don't know how much!!! d@mn. Then I changed, I took a land rover, that was a comfortable car, but then I had to leave to Oman and then to Australia, so I couldn't use it for long :(. I still like Land Rover. Its meant for Luxury.

Now, I don't like those Luxorious cars, I just like a simple car, and for that I think Ford Focus has everything if someone know how to design its interior like my friend's car. :love: her car so much...

Aha..

I asked the salesperson, about the engine stuff... because I heard that jaguars are not really good cars, very easy to break down. I aske him about it.. and he was like.... they have changed their engines to the ones of the bmw's! then if so, how come it is cheaper?

well jaguar have good engines and about me getting a cheaper price is because i get a certain % discount from MHD :) aand btw jaguar do not have BMW engines its the rovers that have bmw engines now :)

Salam to all of you....:wave:

C Class, u'll get it in different engines i.e 1.8,2.2,2.4 & 3.2. It also comes in 4 diiferent options i.e Classic, Elegance, Avantgarde & Sport. I have seen the C 240 sport & its a beauty.

Nice & small, makin it easy to park & u have the sensors to aid you, it also has cruise control, airbags, sport seats & sporty spoilers with 18" rims.

Of course there is the C 55 which is the mean machine :6: but I think it is non existant in our beautiful Sultanate Of Oman :D

Price of the C 240 Sport is approx. DHS 145,000 in Dubai, I'm expecting it to be at least RO 16,000 in Oman.

P.S: I THINK ITS TIME TO BUY THE CAR SITI BLOOD ROSE ;)

26-04-04, 03:08 AM

thanks for the info... but you see i don't know about these engines but i think 2.2 is ok for me right? :lost: sorry don't know much about cars :p

now i don't want something sporty, the car i want is classic, something like in the pic. but i know this is top of the range and i can't afford it.. :sorry:

i prefer a 2 door car.. with reasonable price... so how much is the C180.. if there is such a car.. the website i found didn't provide much information..

i know i know.. this thread has been running since last year and i still didn;t buy a car.. maybe by October inshaAllah... but i like to know what i want from now :blush:

v6 4motion
27-04-04, 12:06 AM
the C180 also comes in diff engine specs

the C180 goes for around 12>13 maybe even less riyal omani

its a realy cute car and i think it suits gurls very well :)

well on a C class anything above a 2.0 is a good enough engine you can go for a 2.0 kompresser which means its super charged which gives you a lil more power ;)
