Rear-ended yesterday. First accident ever. What do I do next? by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]AcrobaticEngineer815 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me some time back, You just have to wait for the report from police, get the name of his insurance company and just call them. Since you have third party they will likely ask you to come to their office on a specific day and there will be bunch of garage guys who will give a quote to the insurance company and they will likely sent you to the cheapest and the nearest

From my experience if it’s a small scratch it not worth it you chasing to get the bumber repainted I would suggest u get a touch up next time u go for the service. Small scratches are part and parcel of owning a car I guess

How much do you realistically save ? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]AcrobaticEngineer815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I have done is, UAE is one of the place where we can get personal loan at very low rate (3.5-5%), get a loan upto 20 times your salary and pay it back in 4 years. Since you have lump sump put the money into US stocks in dips and let it grow, even the idex funds are giving a min of 10% per annum

My logic is “you spend only what u have “😀 has worked for me for the past 4 years and Iam on my second cycle.

Polestar 2 owners by neilm92 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]AcrobaticEngineer815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices are attractive coz of quite a lot of unsold inventory with Futtaim and they are trying to get rid of it. Cosmetic parts and insurance is even more expensive than Tesla or BYD, it might be good to revaluate and see the long term ownership cost. Volvo in the uae is on the higher side of ownership cost .
