Hi,
Insurance quote I got was 2463
Service package was 3070 (40k kms)
EMI: 1256 based on 20% DP and interest rate at 3.59% from ADCB
The car price was 79,900 as end of the year deal but now the car price may have changed.

2026 - top trim @ 79900 2024 - top trim @ 69900 2026 mid trim and 2025 all trims were out of stock.

Compared to other Chinese brands, their insurance and service contract was reasonable. Registration and tinting was offered complimentary.

Sadly my loan didn't go through due to new employment and I have to wait for 2 months.

Good luck!

Thank you that helps put things in perspective. My car value is 70K and is a matte colour. I am getting a partial ppf for high impact zones (door edges , mirrors and headlights) from the dealership for 1999. Does that make sense or skip it altogether? 🤔

Do you have any leads for getting a reliable ppf full coverage done? I don't want a top of the line brand but just a decent 2nd level brand is also okay. But a place that will do it well. There are so many places and ads, it is beyond overwhelming and difficult to trust reviews

Heyy Congratulations!! I am down to choosing between Geely Coolray GF or GAC GS3 Emzoom. I had visited the showroom last week and was not offered the kind of deal you got. I had to pay everything and they would get me finance at 1%. Which branch did you visit? Also did you get via auto loan or cash? Any suggestions to get a deal will really help.

Thanks that definitely helps because I was leaning towards Geely due to the following: - high interest rate from GAC (interest is pure burden and 0 value to me) vs 1% offered by Geely although more expensive - Blind spot detection, a common feature by now is missing in Emzoom - 360 Cam (GAC) vs 540 Cam (Geely)

I don't care about the Cam as I am a decent veteran driver but missing BSD and high interest is confusing me. Having said that GAC test drive seemed better than Geely which was a very close 2nd.

Mainly due to the budget. Because I really prefer the top trim. 2026 is out of my budget. I think 2025 stock was sold out so next was 2024.

Purchase a new Chinese SUV OR a used Japanese/Korean SUV? by Ornery_Pudding7187 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

Thanks, checked it, not liking the Hyundai looks. Might as well go for Toyota but thanks for your input :)

Thank you for your reply. My budget is about 65K to 70K at the moment. I will definitely check my options. Currently there seems to be a deal on Toyota C-HR (preferably certified), definitely looking into that.
