Were you the kid with the coolest cars hung up all over your room growing up? The one that watched nightrider \/ 007, anxiously waiting for the car scenes?!? Do have all 24 seasons of Top Gear in your DVD shelf?!? Well, from the beastly Mercedes-Benz G63 to the oh-so luxurious Rolls-Royce Ghost, the dream cars that always seemed out of reach might not be that far out. The experts at CarSwitch.com<\/a> took a closer look and shared their top 5 favorite dream cars and why living in the UAE is a great opportunity to pick one up!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They\u2019re \u201ccheaper\u201d! <\/strong>Picking up a used car in Dubai<\/a> comes at a great discount, and that\u2019s because the average life of cars in the UAE is low (3-4 yrs versus 6-8 in other markets) which means they lose value quite quickly (>50% within 3 years). You can get a Porsche 911 in Dubai for AED 200,000 as compared to a 50% higher price of AED 300,000 in London.<\/li>\n
  2. Few additional costs.<\/strong> There are no emission taxes, wildly special registration fees for luxury cars, up to 80% savings on fuel and insurance costs. Insuring a 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is >AED 10000 in London versus AED 2200 in Dubai!<\/li>\n
  3. It\u2019s safe. <\/strong>Abu Dhabi and Dubai are amongst the safest places in the world, in 2016 less than 133 cars were stolen in Dubai (majority abandoned by owners).<\/li>\n
  4. You can take advantage!<\/strong> With larger, smoother, well maintained roads, there\u2019s no place quite like the UAE to enjoy a luxury car particularly those with beasty engines. (Just watch the speed limits, and the recent change on Mohammed Bin Zayed Road!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The one watch out is condition<\/strong>! Repair and maintenance on these cars can be heavy on your pocket, so be sure to get the cars fully inspected prior to purchase. If that\u2019s too much of a hassle, check the official agencies for their used car options or look through CarSwitch.com for pre-inspected and warrantied used cars<\/a> straight from direct owners.<\/p>\n

    Without further adieu, the CarSwitch.com top 5 dream picks for Dubai<\/p>\n

    1. <\/strong>Rolls-Royce Ghost<\/strong><\/a> – 2011 to 2014 from AED 360k-600k<\/strong><\/p>\n

    2. <\/strong>Mercedes-Benz AMG GT-R<\/strong><\/a> – 2011-2014 (SLS AMG) from AED 440k-800k<\/strong><\/p>\n

    3. <\/strong>Mercedes-Benz S-Class<\/strong><\/a> – 2011-2014 ranges from AED 90k-230k<\/strong><\/p>\n

    4. <\/strong>Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG<\/strong><\/a> – 2011 to 2014 ranges from AED 150k-350k<\/strong><\/p>\n
