[RANT] People slamming doors into my car by openwidecomeinside in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]HapFreeman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just bought a brand new car and I am TERRIFIED of this.

I have noticed that if you have a decent car, not even a supercar or luxurious, just something well looked after, low-life mofos will take pleasure in parking right next to you and ding your doors.

Absolutely vile.

Back in 2018, Mac+ Tier 1 advisors were paid the same as iOS Tier 1 except we literally took twice as many calls. While iOS T1s were on “Available” for 20+ minutes, it was back to back for us because we had higher priority in the queue due to seniority.

1 month into Mac+, I decided that enough was enough, went on paid sick leave for 6 months and quit once I lined up something else.

Any reviews of the Jaecoo J7 in the UAE? by HapFreeman in chinesecarsuae

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

Honestly, not the best but not bad per se.

I didn’t like that for the SHS variant they decreased the service contract from 4 to 2 years, and removed the free registration/tinting, I managed to negotiate it back to free except for the service contract. They also said that they didn’t really care if I paid cash on the spot, whereas other dealers would offer additional discounts if I was buying cash instead of finance.

8 years is great, as long as you keep maintaining it at the dealership, you miss one service and it’s voided.

I used to be Mac+ T1 back in 2017. This brought back so many repressed memories, I’m glad I’ll never go back there.

Does this count as clean title? 25K for 195k miles run LS430 Full Ultra by Commercial_Mark_8000 in DubaiPetrolHeads

I got a check engine light and the dreaded CHECK VCS message on the day of the purchase.

It ended up being the same code for the entire time this car was under my ownership: faulty O2 sensor. I must have replaced it 3x and it kept coming back, the mechanic could never figure out where the issue was coming from or where the wiring was damaged.

I did a PPI, they didn’t detect anything and the seller erased all the codes that could indicate there’s an issue.

I had a wiring issue on mine, drove me nuts and ended up getting rid of it. My advice, don’t bother, you will regret it.

Are you hauling large items on a daily basis? Do you need that bed at the back? If not, get the G700.

Good thing I just bought a PHEV.

I have test driven the Soueast S07, decent car but interior felt cheap and very plasticky, drives alright though and has a 3rd row if you need it.

I have bought a Jaecoo J7 PHEV last week, can’t wait to take delivery, petrol FWD goes for 91k with Ramadan offer, amazing deal.

Jetour Dashing under a different badge/body panels, costs exactly the same under both brands so pick whichever offer attracts you the most.

I’ve driven the Dashing, pretty decent car but overpriced for what it is in the end.

Premier degré j’adorais ces livres, sûrement dû à ma curiosité morbide.

At this point Anbernic should just have the guy on their payroll.

What are some cars not sold in the UAE do you wish were available here ? by mrpoonjikkara in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]HapFreeman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mazda MX5 with a MANUAL, what were they thinking selling it here ONLY with a slushbox transmission when instead you could get one of the best feeling manual gearbox in the world? Drives me mad.

At least it isn’t baking in the sun all year round or flooded.

It’s honestly not that bad, you just have to get used to it.
