I've talked to about 10 people, literally all of them have said I shouldn't even touch american cars.
Are they really that bad?
Did they give a reason? Are they really that bad?
I've run a 2006 Mustang GT for the last 7 years and it's cost me nothing other than tyres, batteries and a suspension refresh.
Big, unstressed engines, Good ac, Yes the interior isn't up to par with the European equivalent but it's got so much more 'character'
I wouldn't buy the v6 of a muscle car though, doesn't seem right

They all mention that it is more expensive to run, ie maintenance, and it is harder to come by parts for repair and they are not reliable according to them etc. Also the biggest one being resale value.I've run a 2006 Mustang GT for the last 7 years and it's cost me nothing other than tyres, batteries and a suspension refresh.

I saw an ad on the Geant noticeboard at Arabian Ranches for a Dodge R/T (the four door) for 75K AED (there may be room for that - who knows). I can grab the details if you want.
My budget is about 60K, I think it's very hard for me to go more than that at the moment :sbmd said:

I noticed that but equally I have seen so many cars drop and drop and drop. I have also seen cars go in with a silly-high price and then you see the add drop 10K Thought I would flag just in case one of those (mine was - got it for a lot less than asking)
