So, here’s the backstory: I actually bought the car a couple of years ago knowing it had a flywheel base issue. MG was completely ready to replace it under warranty right then. But I was living in Abu Dhabi at the time, and they told me the repair could only be done at their Dubai service center and would take about two weeks. I didn’t have a substitute car or the time to deal with 2-week without a vehicle, so I just put it off and kept driving it.

Fast forward to now—I’m planning to sell the car, so I figured I’d finally take it into MG to get it checked out and cleared.

Upon checking, they told me they couldn’t even proceed to where the flywheel base is because there is visible rust around the outer area. Because of that rust, they immediately voided the entire transmission warranty, claiming it's environmental damage. They're saying that if they open it up, they are 100% sure the clutch pack and the flywheel base inside will be completely rusted out too. Then they dropped a casual 12,000 AED repair quote on me.

The car is still under finance with about 26,000 AED left on the bank loan. My original plan, before knowing any of this, was to sell it for around 32,000 AED, clear the loan with the buyer's cash. But with a 12k repair bill on the table, the math completely breaks down, and if I have to drop the price, I might end up having to pay out of pocket just to clear the loan and get rid of the car.

I don’t know much about cars, so I'm trying to figure out my best moves from here:

1. Fix it at an independent garage? Does anyone know a genuinely reliable transmission/clutch specialist in Dubai or Sharjah who handles dual-clutch setups and won't rip me off? What am I realistically looking at cost-wise to get rust cleared and a clutch sorted outside the dealer?
2. Sell it as-is? If I list it on Dubizzle, what do I actually legally need to disclose to avoid them coming after me later? And more importantly, how hard is it to find a private buyer willing to clear a 26k bank loan on a car that needs transmission work?
3. Dump it at SellAnyCar/Kavak? Do these corporate buyers actually catch buried stuff like internal rust during their quick inspections? Even if they do, is it worth taking their lowball offer just to have them handle the bank loan paperwork so I can wash my hands of it?

Hi everyone, as the title suggests I'm looking for a 3BR townhouse under 80k, direct from owner would be great.

I am looking to move in on 25 July 2026.

Looking to move in on the first week of August. Would be much better if any owners out there have an availability soon but if you're an agent that's okay too please let me know.

I am looking for a 3BHK townhouse in Damac Hills 2 for under 80k, I have done a couple of viewings and not once was the agent present, all they do is give the villa number and say that the key is somewhere near the entrance, yet I'm expected to pay them 5% of the rental value? They offer literally nothing so why must I pay their percentage cut? Does anyone have experience to get around this and talk to owners directly?

If there are any owners here who can offer it for 80k or less, please let me know

Looking for a credit card that offers 3 month loans if possible. Thing is I pay my rent/cheque by taking a loan on a credit card and turning it into an installment, but for all my credit they only allow for a minimum of 6 months. What I do then is take that 6 month installment and then close it after 3 months so that I can take another loan for the next cheque but I end up paying foreclosure fee all the time.

If anyone knows a credit card that offers strictly 3 months installment on loans please let me know

I’m looking for an SUV preferably one with a big trunk, five seater or even a seven seater is fine but basically my budget is around 120,000 AED.

What are your recommendations? so far I have checked out the Tank 300, Jetour T1, and GAC GS8.

Whenever I visit somewhere in Asia, Uniqlo is one of the first places I visit because the quality of their clothing is just amazing and somehow fits my body a lot better than other brands.

Unfortunately there is no Uniqlo here, and I've recently tried primark and the quality of their plain tees are just not that great so does anyone have any suggestions for clothing shops I can check out
