sertac Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I sold my Grand Cherokee last Saturday. I am actually looking for a Xterra but i came across with this Tundra. As i like big and bold vehicles it took my attention. This generation Tundra still doesn't look old. When i read the consumer reviews online, i saw good review only. Everyone talking about how reliable and easy to maintain this car. My question is generally i am staying away from US spec cars. Is it also applicable for a Tundra? When i want to sell it(i actually like changing cars yearly) will it go easily like a Xterra? https://uae.yallamotor.com/used-cars/toyota/tundra/2007/used-toyota-tundra-trd-crewmax-5-7l-2007-1029077 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand i always felt this is more of an overlanding vehicle and less of a dunebashing vehicle due to the weight, but have seen them dunebashing too. Your petrol consumption in the desert will be mostlikely above 35l/100km so that might be the less fun thing. 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

But resale value will be lower (purchasing price also). 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be struggling because of the size a lot. When i think about my driving actually %90 i am driving on the highway. Also the petrol consumption is not that a big deal for me. My Jeep was 16/100km for my daily usage and at the desert i didnt calculate exact but it should be around 30l/100km. For resale value this is the cheapest one available now in the market. I spoke with the owner he is calming he is effected because of current situation thats why he is selling. Do you think it should be cheaper? 6 minutes ago, Frederic said: Toyota US spec should be similar to a GCC vehicle i presume. But resale value will be lower (purchasing price also). I guess they didnt bring the Tundra here officially. All on dubizzle are import. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All on dubizzle are import. The price is based on how much the market or potential buyer wants to pay. So i think that's hard to say. If the car is in perfect technical condition, then it might be giving you lots of smiles and power for 25kAED. 1 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

I think Jamez also had a tundra for a while and bashed it everywhere. Also if you like big vehicles like me have a look at the Sequoia ( station wagon version of the tundra )and the Armada both also 5.7 V8s very bowarfull and sborty also Although Sequoia holds it value But Armada is cheap as chips nowadays.almost throw away prices. Actually most big V8s are save for cruisers and patrols you can get a pretty late model in very good Nick for 25k. And they are mostly GCC spec. But rarely you'll come across a US import which is 2wd Edited July 14, 2020 by desertdude 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
