bad news for me but good on your side, any reasons why are you letting it go?
yeah i agree dubai dealer gives better deals overall, but i heard there are no more SWB cars available only in AUH, so i would lean on masood maybe still not firm.

I hate the Jeep dealer in Dubai, the service is awful and they've messed up a fair few things. Also doing far more mileage in Dubai, I've driven more in 9 months than the previous 2 years - and the Wranglers aren't good for long distance driving. Need something that can handle distance driving, and is generally more reliable.

thanks about the info, american cars are the most comfortable rides out there for long drives but not the exact wording about reliable :p ound:
but i think you should look into the new nissan patrol 4 doors or land cruiser they drive well and very reliable and i personally prefer the new nissan it really drives well and very comfortable but not worth 330k 13' !!! maybe used 2010 for 200 is fair ( full options ) or less for SE 320 hp engine.

all the best buddy

Don't bother with either the Landcruisers or 'new' Patrol, if you want anything get the 'old' patrol. More reliable and capable than both, and half the price.

old ones you mean 90's or 2004 shape? 90's are very strong but in my personal opinion you should have good relationship with workshops around alqouz or mussafah for repairing as many of my friends own those and have issues on regular basis.

totally agree, Y61 are solid but very difficult to find clean ones, anything around you?
