You JUST joined a new company?

DON'T BUY ANY CAR WITH BANK INSTALLMENT!!!!

Buy a cheap car (maxim 8000 QR) or Rent a car , and after the probation period, you can buy a good car via bank installment!

Bloody regards,

Prices seems quite high for both the cars. Why do you opt for these two cars as the spare parts are expensive and difficult to get. Honda is improving their service level by bringing their workshop closer to their consumers and I heard it is getting a revamp. Kia parts are also expensive and the resale value is very poor.
