its an 07 with 42000 mi on it, kbb says $23000. I will get $12000 when i get there to buy a car.

It will cost me $2000 to ship the car there (4-6 weeks). Now if you were me and you were moving to the middle east, where there is no sign of snow whatsoever, what would you do? ship the G or would you get something else there? what would YOU get?

p.s. i hate beamers, and i dont wanna downgrade
What kind of job is it? I'm thinking about looking there as well.

Ship it. I'm assuming they will let you use part of the $12000 to cover the $2000 shipping charge. If your car is paid off, then this is a no brainer.

i'll get that $12000 every year. what i do with it is my worry, they dont care. i paid of my car within thw 1st year of buying it, paid 4 times the installment, I HATE DEBT!

I might be there for longer than 4 years, i wont know till later on, depends on how our work goes there. once i am done, i will probably just sell it there, because it will probably rack up a lot of miles there. right now i am at 42k.

You should do power folding mirrors. I had them in my BMW and they were awesome.

DJ, the convertibles have power folding mirrors as an option, maybe it's a pretty easy sway?

so i have been trying to talk to the infiniti dealerships in UAE. and they are saying that they WONT be able to switch the navigation to the GCC spec and getting parts for my US spec might be a pain in the *** there. so i dont know if i really wanna ship my car there and get stuck with it yknow what i mean.

So i went to the dealership to see how much they would offer me for my 07 X sedan with 42k mi on it. They are offering $17k.

I dont have time to look for a private party and i want all of the money right away. I dont wanna do any monthly payment. Wat do you guys think of the 417k? :-/

Run by Carmax first. I understand about the need for speed on your deal. You know what the dealership will give you. It couldn't hurt to have one more offer to make your decision with.

When are you leaving out?
