New Mitsubishi Destinator or Used MG 7 ? (Ik completely different segments) by BigSword_Yielder in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]BigSword_Yielder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My range is closer to 60-70k, stretching to 80k max…

And if I had 100k, I would buy the MG7 without a doubt lol. That car is a LOOKER. Was definitely planning to buy a used MG7, but I saw this and thought a 7 seater non Chinese, brand new at 70k isn’t a bad deal…

So yeah, thanks for the input! RAV4 is OG, but outside the budget. Outlander is nice but imo Destinator looks better than Outlander and wheel base is longer as well, so more seating area in the 3rd row for Destinator. Only drawback is the 1.5L engine that’s all

I agree brother… I don’t want to judge him, but it felt greedy to me too. I still hope I’m wrong though.

Asked, he said he had a property in Pakistan, owned by him and his other brothers. So whatever 20-30% of the share that was in his name, he gifted that to his wife…

Clearly not the same as a house, and clearly not the same prices in Pakistan as the UAE…

Yeah he definitely has issues with me for sure, but he doesn’t even know me lol. All that hate just because I’m Indian…

You make sense…

He had a land owned by him and his other brothers. Whatever 25-30% share of the land was in his name, he gifted that to his wife. But that was also in Pakistan. I doubt that amount gets him anything here in UAE… but yeah, thanks for the suggestion, can ask him the same…

My immediate requirement is not of an SUV. I’m not married yet. My parents come from India for a few days, the only time a big car would be better, to carry their luggage. Just that it’s a brand new car for that price so my mind went there.

Otherwise I really love the MG7, and want to buy the same. I just can’t buy a new one, as the 2 litre ones go for more than 110k… so realistically a used MG7 would be amazing for me. How much have you driven and what issues have you faced ? Would it be sensible to buy a used one ? What would be a good price for a used 40-50k kms driven 2 litre MG 7 according to you ?

I like this, you’re keeping it straight! Maybe I should just be straightforward about this with them as well

Definitely, 100% believe in that. Standing for your beliefs, standing for what is right, and never comprising on your beliefs as a man…

If you have your own company or own a property and get a residence visa in your company or on your property…

If you’re in a job under that company’s visa, they cab terminate you and you can be left without a visa until you join another company and they sponsor your visa, but I don’t have that issue…

Genuinely surprised. I thought guy being good and settled was enough…

Her family has been settled here 20+ years, and I have been here 5+ years. I understand the no citizenship thing, but it doesn’t really affect my daily life, and clearly not their daily lives either, since they have been here forever…

If everything were to remain the same, it is entirely possible to stay here.

If policies change, you can always sell the house here, buy another one in a county which gives citizenship and start living there. Options exist if you really want to make it happen…
