Helpful Tips For First-time Used Porsche Buyers
Want to buy a used Porsche? The good news is that you have a lot of options to choose from the stock offered by Dubai car dealers. However, before you rush to the showrooms in your area, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Before you spend a lot of time mulling over the pre-owned Porsche model you are going to buy, put your budget in place first. This will save your time as you will know the model you can afford right from the start. When you have already decided on the amount you want to purchase, go ahead in looking into the different Porsche models available. In the event that something catches your eye, inspect it well before parting with money and don't decide to buy without taking the car out for a test drive. Make sure to put it through its paces-- urban driving, twisting roads, fast motorway driving, and don't ever forget to check reverse. It is also essential to check the car's used bodywork to ensure that there is no rust or corrosion. Surface blisters can easily be dealt with but when it comes to corrosion inside the panels, it's a completely different story. Hence, you need to run a thorough check on the top and rear of the front wings, along side sills and the underside of the doors. Additionally, ensure that there is zero collision damage by inspecting the engine bay panels for signs of welding or creasing. It is also crucial that there's pull on the steering wheel when on a drive. These are just some of the tips on how to buy a used Porsche car in excellent condition. If you know a friend who is knowledgeable with cars, it's a wise idea to bring them along to the car dealer in Dubai, UAE of your choice.
MERCEDES-BENZ鈥檚 sizeable SUV range is set to grow even further, as the premium car maker has a new Land Rover Discovery Sport rival on the way. What is the 2020 Mercedes GLB? At face value, Mercedes鈥?current range appears to cover all the bases - not including the AMG variants and upcoming pure-electric cars, it currently sells no less than 32 different model lines. It seems the current Mercedes line-up isn鈥檛 comprehensive-enough, however, as the car maker has found a new gap to plug with this: the GLB compact SUV. Though the design is inspired to some extent by the tough-as-nails G-Class, which sits at the top of the firm鈥檚 SUV range, the GLB is a smaller, more mainstream and family-friendly offering. Full tech specs haven鈥檛 been revealed, but the interior of the Concept GLB (pictured) suggests its will share its underpinnings with the A-Class hatchback, and Mercedes is highlighting in particular the versatility and practicality of this compact crossover. The GLB does have some claimed cross-terrain credentials, too.
The permanent all-wheel drive system and 鈥淥ff Road鈥?driving mode should make it a decent mud-plugger, and the GLB鈥檚 short overhangs will allow the car to go up and down steep inclines without tearing off the bumpers. What engines will the 2020 Mercedes GLB come with? The popularity of diesel may be declining (or 鈥渙n he wane鈥? in the UK, but Mercedes seems to think GLB buyers are still fans of the fuel. Gearbox choices are limited to automatics only, with the 1.3-litre petrol being the only one to come with a seven-speed 鈥榖ox 鈥攖he rest of the range is exclusively offered with an eight-speed auto. Most of the engines are only available with front-wheel drive, while the all-wheel drive system is mated either to the 148bhp diesel (as an option) or the 187bhp diesel (as standard). Will there be a hybrid Mercedes GLB? A hybrid option has yet to be confirmed, though reports suggest there鈥檚 a strong chance a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid engine will eventually be available for the GLB.
Mild hybrids, which use a small electric motor to assist the engine during acceleration, are also expected to join the range at a later date. What tech will the 2020 Mercedes GLB have? Full tech specs will be revealed closer to launch but Mercedes-Benz claims the new GLB 鈥渂enefits from the technical highlights鈥?as seen on the German car maker鈥檚 other smaller models. For example, all GLB variants come as standard with the 鈥淢BUX鈥?infotainment system that debuted on the A-Class hatchback. The stand-out gadgets, however, are mostly available as optional extras. In an unusual twist for an SUV of this size, the GLB will also be sold as a seven-seater mode, even though the larger GLC is exclusively available as a five-seater car. According yo Mercedes-Benz, there鈥檚 enough space in the back of the GLB for the two rearmost chairs to provide 鈥渃omfortable seating for two medium-sized occupants鈥? Translations: for children only. When will the 2020 Mercedes GLB go on sale? Mercedes-Benz hasn鈥檛 said when the GLB will go on sale but the order books for the compact SUV are expected to open before the end of the year. How much will the 2020 Mercedes GLB cost? As its name suggests, the GLB sits between the GLA and GLC, so although prices are TBC, we expect them to reflect the model鈥檚 place in the Mercedes family tree. The range is likely to start at about 拢31,000, with the top-spec version setting you back upwards of 拢41,000. Don鈥檛 expect much change from 拢55,000 for the performance-focused AMG flagship variant. What will the Mercedes GLB鈥檚 rivals be? Rivals for the GLB will include the Audi Q3, Porsche Macan, Jaguar E-Pace and Range Rover Evoque. It will also face competition from the Land Rover Discovery Sport; one of only a handful of seven-seater SUVs on sale today that are similarly-sized to the Mercedes.
