Buying and selling cars is rarely profitable. I would keep it.

^ thanks guys, i just might do that. but somebody was saying, "You'll need new radiator, radiator reservoir, and hoses... And maybe more. Im pretty sure they have beefier components", i wonder how much that would cost.

You could get silicone replacement hoses which are durable and last a long time. It's like not even 100 dollars I think. As for the rad, get a good solid aluminum replacement one.

Buy it, take the parts with you in your car there and install over there lol. To ship stuff from the states to Dubai will cost a lot!

last time i saw my ride, it was 6000 miles away from where i am now and it was snowing, now i am in the middle of a desert...

car just arrived here yesterday fellas:

[FRANKYR35]

cool how did shipping go any scratches or damage??? how long did it take?

[djfarhan]

thanks guys, just been super busy at work here and dont get too much time to be on the threads, but i am loving my G here|! cant believe i was driving that thing in the snow at the beginning of this year and now i am driving it in the middle of a desert country! ha

including fees on that side, this side and the import duty (which is 5% of the value of ur car), it cost me $3750. I get paid $12000/yr for my transportation expenses, so i didnt spend a dime out of my pocket to bring it over.

[nogoodname]

Pretty good transportion expense allowance!

[nogoodname]

Now that you don't have to deal with winters. Are you going to lower the car?

[djfarhan]

yeah, i did debate about selling my ride there. i looked up the price and it was around $19-20k. cocksuckersw werent gonna give me more than 15K. i said fuck u, i am taking my ride with me 6000 miles away

[nogoodname]

At least you now have your own car there and don't have to worry about buying something there. Less headaches.

[djfarhan]

well i was seriously considering to lower it here since there are not as many potholes here as there are in mass. there like NONE here. but then on the other hand, they a have a **** load of speed bumps everywhere, andf i dont have the patient to be super careful if i lower my car. |

[djfarhan]

yeah, eberybody here that is leasing a car has like stupid nissan versas and shit. i am so glad i brought my ride over.
