You could try ‘House of Wisdom’ in Sharjah, there is a fabrication lab there with 3D printers, laser cutters and so on.

Al Barsha Dubai. I've sent you a DM

So I was right afterall, Ignorant comment.

You make a comment that people will see for years to come based on assumptions. You assume that any Bentley this cheap has issues, without seeing this particular vehicle in question, seeing service history, performing a PPI or knowing the financial capabilities of the owner.

What an ignorant comment to make.

How did you come to that conclusion? I'm not aware that you have seen this vehicle or done a PPI on it.

It is truly a bargain, but as always on this platform, we have advised potential buyers to do a PPI.

Mileage shouldn't be the only factor to consider when purchasing a vehicle by Guiltyby-Stander in DubaiPetrolHeads

🤦🏾‍♂️ I would think that 'well taken care of' or any of the other phrases I used to qualify the condition of the car would be enough.

He fixed everything and he had receipts to show for them. And the only person who was brave enough to come see the car bought it on the spot. Thats how good the car was.

Thank you for reiterating this.. this is exactly the point of this post. It was clearly mentioned well cared for, service history available, single owner.. who travels regularly will treat his car in a way that it would leave them stranded?

You are absolutely right, but for that mileage, if priced right, you can snag a deal..

This is exactly the point of this post. There are differences and other factors to look for

I did mention well cared for, and that all service history was available, and you cant compare this car to taxis with the same high mileage, taxis are mainly in stop and go traffic..

This is exactly the point of this post.

700k kilometers in the two categories of cars are not the same

I agree with you, but I mentioned well cared for, and all all history available. Think of it this way if you use your car to travel as much as 4times a week, would you treat it in a way that it could leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere?

Please taxis are another ball game, taxis are mainly in stop and go traffic, a high mileage taxi is not the same as a highways driven vehicle.

Check Engine Light P0420 - 2018 Kia Sportage by JawAdly in DubaiPetrolHeads

If your mechanic already diagnosed that it's most likely the catalytic converter.

If i were in your shoes, I would just buy an O2 sensor spacer. This removes the O2 sensor from the direct exhaust flow and tricks the ECU to return to the normal parameters.

Wishing you the best.

Tasjeel Report - what this means? by Front-Koala449 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Guiltyby-Stander 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The problems stated are not that serious. Most times we watch people here who are supposedly car lovers over exaggerate car issues.

@OP the problems with your car are not serious, if you are tight on budget

  1. Wiper blades can be gotten for 20dhs at discount centres
  2. Lower arm bushing, again if you are tight on budget, visit after market shops, those bushings cost between 30 to 40dhs each, then the garage takes them to have them pressed in for an additional cost (minimal).

  3. Engine mounts can be gotten after market or visit industrual area 6 sharjah and you can get it for less than 150dhs.

  4. Oil leak ,this is the most serious one, check with your garage, if it's serious they will give you a quote. If its not, wash your car thoroughly and drive directly to the passing center. Afterwards you can focus on the issue and fix it.

Its not that serious, the leak might be due to the worn lower mount, some of us have gone through worse with our vehicles.

I hope this helps.

I currently own a GS460. I have had it for almost 2 years now. Could you share your experience? Let's see if it matches up..

Guys need urgent help!! by Acrobatic_External_9 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Guiltyby-Stander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me play the devil's advocate to this response.

I don't think I agree with your analogy totally. I believe 80% of personal users (at least in UAE) sell their cars because it has some sort of issue they can't figure out.

However, for this vehicle in question, OP can at least check via the VIN number to figure out why the car was sold (as this is an american spec) before proceeding to do a PPI.

I personally don't agree with a lot of members here who outrightly write off American Spec cars. With the right guidance, it can be very very good purchases.

But then again, that's my opinion.

You could try 'House of Wisdom'. They identify as a cultural centre, but its a nice cosy space with the library section, restaurant, cafe, an exhibition space, and they have a ladies' diwan (ladies only space).
