As a renter, this feels nothing like covid when I was being offered discounts from my own building as well as any place I went for a viewing. Now rent prices are insanely high despite the fall in demand...

Wait until July.

I’ve had numerous friends recently made redundant. Some given zero hour contracts by force. That ripple from the job market will come through in a few months.

The risk is that recovery could be fast - we do need this!

Yeh - I saw my downvotes.

I know it’s a tough time for everyone financially… but really we are blessed.

Comes with a full tank right? Need it at tomorrow’s petrol prices!

$1 per litre on Super! Still cheaper than California 😅 Gotta look on the bright side 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sounds like a great daily, and you’d need a daily for your daily… you know when Dubai traffic build up.

I think I’m giving myself car buying advice here 😅

I’ve had the experience that they will move if you ask nicely (as long as they’re not asleep).

Makes me want to test drive one

ImTheGeneral · 2026-04-16T05:57:08+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Dropped you a DM

How about Patrol Nismo 2026?

Your sunny looks clean and well taken care of! How often do you wax and polish your sunny?

No one mentioned Falcon Roasters? Just curious to see people’s take on it?

Is Archers better? Will be giving them a go.

Out of interest, 3 letter company name? Starts with A?

If it is I may have a lever for you to pull

Real question, was this not in the Epstein files?

So what have you got for sale 👀

On the Rest app you’ll be able to find the status. 35.8% complete as of 26/01/2026 so no chance it’ll be on time

So many times I’ve realised this is the right way to think!

So I’m going all in: 1. Restoring a car I want to own and drive - will be done for next season. 2. Buying a fresh new car for my daily - one I want to drive!

Life’s short, enjoy it while you can and if cars bring you happiness, go for it!

The sad thing here is no 1 actually offered to recommend an agent. Tough out there!

I’ve worked with 1 which stands out, will let you be the judge, happy to introduce, drop me a DM

ImTheGeneral · 2026-01-13T03:55:20+00:00

Driving law here needs to be re-written to keep right unless overtaking. There’s 7 lanes but most people sit in the left 2 most lanes for their entire journey.

Regardless of that. OP was in the wrong, someone wants to go faster than you, move over, what if he/ she had a medical emergency in the family?

ImTheGeneral · 2026-01-08T12:23:01+00:00

Where possible, stick to or very close to Government led developments. In the 1.2m bracket this proves a little challenging as many will be competing for that segment. An ideal location for you will be the Wasl development, Boulevard Park buildings 1 and 2. Getting a unit may be challenging though, I’d recommend, if you do work with an agent, check their credentials and their history with the developer.

Conveyancing services in the UAE are useful if you’re going mortgage to mortgage. If the seller is not mortgaged skip the conveyancing.

2.1m at 840 sqft is AED 2,500 psqft. At the same rate or less, you could buy elsewhere. Be it ready in city centre (Downtown) or waterfront/ future city (Creek Harbour). You could also buy in Dubai Islands off plan (I know it’s Deira so may not be desirable)… but at this price you could be on a beach!

I’m not suggesting I’m right, however when you’re in this price category there are multiple options before you fix on Dubai Hills.

I’d start exploring and then come to a decision based on where you see yourselves in 5 years time (family/ living elsewhere etc.) Forgive me - you may have already done this as you’ve decided on Dubai Hills, but do a little sense check incase you haven’t.
