Joyce Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hi you all good people here, I am absolutely new to this forum and just join to seek some help on deciding a car for me after 6 years of break from driving due to family reasons.I want to know which is the best sedan or saloon (not compact and big cars please) I can buy under 30,000 dirams. Although I am open to new and used both, but i knw with my less budget use one will fit better in of reasonable options and brand. Use should not be more than 3-4 years old pls, as I will be driving with my 1 year old son quite often in that car so reliability (if used) is number one.What you guys think about new car brands like Opel, Skoda and Renault......for new one (if it fit in that range). thank you all. gn.

mark Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi Joyce, welcome to the right place for such advise. Take what is relevant and leave what is not as sometime people get bit carried away on such opinionated thread here.In short none of the three brand you suggested for new car offer anything within your suggested range. You are better off with the little bit used car and your best bet is to go Japanese or Korean considering the budget and reliability is on your top priority. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyce Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks Mark and Taqir,Any chance of advising any smaller Audi or BMW? I prefer that way, as road is having too many Hyundai, Nissan and toyotas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 You can barely fit Audi A3 in that budget for 5 year old model and that I assume it gonna come with 100k on the clock that will defeat your number one priority of being reliable. For smallest BMW 3 series you got to push for 6 years model, again not worth it in your scenario. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks Mark for shooting my all good and prefred choices. lol.I know it's a budgetary issue, as I can't increase it as I am saving for my own house and this car expense is a must-have than any fancy wishlist for me. Which out of above options from Taqir would you vote and why...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamaar Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I am driving 9 year old Touareg with no problems in past, and get car regular service and maintain with good workshop. Instead of limiting to 3 years with low budget you will restrict to masses brand only and not good European or German Cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niku Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am using 5 years Audi w/o any major trouble. You can't go wrong with Audi, they have improved a lot in past 10 years and corrected their brand image severely from the past issues. Just wanted to share my opinion. Good luck.

decosta Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I am using 8 year old Mercedes ML350 without any major concern since last 4 years, bought it in 2011 when it was 4 years old.If you can stretch your budget to 40's, I might be interested in selling. PM please, if you want more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Thanks decosta for the advice and your offer, to be honest I am very scared to go anywhere more than 5 years old as I not a car person and cars have always given me very hard time in past. I feel If I don't know cars then anyone can fool me for thousands and I have no option to verify, so better stick to 3,-5 years old Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
