Buying a secondhand car in Dubai can prove to be a major mistake, but then again it can also prove to be the best investment you ever make during your time here – you simply need to research the car buying market in Dubai, know what to look out for in a secondhand car, and of course insist on test driving it before you commit to buy.

Home-based car traders are a problem for car buyers in Dubai, and every effort must be made to avoid these unlicensed car dealers. Why, you may ask? The answer to that is simple – you stand to lose a significant amount of money by purchasing a used car from an unlicensed car dealer. Here are three reasons why.

1. These car dealers operate without insurance
2. The cars they offer are often without warranties
3. They often work hard to hide major problems

That is not to say every vehicle these unlicensed dealers have to offer is a dud, but if you are going to pay thousands of dollars for a car, wouldn’t you feel much more comfortable purchasing one from a reputable source that you could chase up should something go wrong?

You can sell any car in Dubai easily, in fact, you can sell your car in 25 minutes with SimplyBuyAnyCar.com, and you can also get a great deal on a used car when you limit your car buying attentions to reputable sources. And there are many.

But can you spot a home-based car trader when shopping around for a used car in Dubai? Sometimes doing so is very easy, though other times it can prove much more difficult – these car traders excel at what they do because they have perfected the art of duping unsuspecting car buyers. Here are a few ways to spot a home-based car trader.

1. They can show you the car at any time of the day (because they don’t have a job besides selling secondhand cars)
2. The car they are offering to sell you is not in their name but rather someone else’s, like a brother or sister (who will naturally be uncontactable)
3. They will not allow you to get the car inspected at a garage of your choosing, but will instead insist on taking you to their choice of garage
As our resident experts have advised, car buyers must be careful when buying a used car in Dubai, and they also recommend that, “first-time car buyers take a mechanic with them to check the car to make sure the seller isn’t hiding any problems.” That’s great advice and definitely something for you to bear in mind!

And of-course, finally, if selling your car is proving to be more of an issue than buying a new one, here at SimplyCarBuyers.com we guarantee to buy any car, regardless of condition, within 25 minutes!

As you will almost immediately realise when perusing the search results for ‘imported American and/or Japanese cars in Dubai’, purchasing an imported secondhand car from the US or Japan can be a very risky affair.

There are a number of reasons why this is the case, so if you have your heart set on an American or Japanese import, or even a European car imported from either of these two countries, please exercise caution – many car buyers in Dubai have lost a significant amount of money, and some have been injured as a result of driving an imported car that should never have been allowed in the country in the first place.

The vehicle has been salvaged…

A common problem around the world with imported secondhand cars, many car buyers here in Dubai have been duped into buying a vehicle that has been salvaged. This could entail a vehicle that was flooded, one that was written off in an accident, or one that should have been recalled but wasn’t, and was subsequently resold.

This is reportedly a more significant problem among secondhand vehicles imported from the United States, though there have been many cases of car buyers here in Dubai purchasing salvaged Japanese cars also.

Therefore, if you have your heart set on an imported car, as many car buyers do, don’t skimp on a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) check before committing to purchase the vehicle. This may not always be possible, but please be aware that if you don’t have a VIN check conducted, you are putting yourself at risk and will have no one to blame but yourself should major problems arise with the imported car you purchased.

It can’t handle the weather conditions

This is a major problem for car buyers in Dubai because of the extreme heat and the dust that has the potential to cause serious engine problems. This is why GCC specs exist, and generally entail, among other differences, a significantly larger radiator that helps to keep the engine from overheating in the excessive desert heat.

Another important difference between GCC and US specs is that of rustproofing, which is essential due to the sand and dust that act as corrosives and have the effect of destroying a vehicle’s paintwork, while another notable difference is the much more powerful air conditioning systems that cars manufactured to GCC specs offer.

It is also important to understand that car manufacturers design and manufacture their vehicles to suit different climates, and that this trend actually affects many cars manufactured in the US, with cars manufactured in the southern states featuring larger radiators, and cars manufactured in the north instead featuring engine block warmers.

As we can help you to sell any car in Dubai, if your car imported from the US was manufactured in the south, don’t forget to point this out as it can help to make your car more appealing to local car buyers – you really can sell your car in 25 minutes with SimplyCarBuyers.com

The weather and great outdoors definitely can be tough on cars. While the weather fluctuates from season to season, UAE’s rocky dunes can be rough on your car’s outer body. As the paint ages, that damage causes the surface to get hazy and the shine to subside, but there’s generally no damage to the color layer below.

Not Waxing will leave the car looking dull and the clear coat vulnerable to accelerated wear.

We recommend waxing your car every 45 to 60 days to keep it looking fresh. Here are 5 easy steps to keep your car’s original body color maintained.

First, ask your car dealer which wax is right for your car. Waxes vary depending on the paint coating of your car.

Start by washing your car to remove sand and dirt. A clean body will allow the wax to sit smoothly on the body.

Grab a micro fiber and damp cloth to apply and apply it in a single straight direction in any hair line scratches.

Using a little pressure, apply the wax using overlapping circular motions like a phone cord  to achieve a high gloss. Repeat the process across the entire surface of the paint.

Wait for it to dry and use a lamb’s wool buffing pad that is available at you local hardware store to add an extra layer of wet look shine if the previous step didn’t create a shine that satisfies you.

Driving your new dream car on the broad and well-maintained roads of Dubai is a real luxury. The moment you are in a position to buy a new car, there’s always the issue of getting rid of your old one, as quickly as possible. Traditionally there has been several options for selling a car in Dubai, but today, selling a used car is a different because of the rapid progress in technology. Having so many options brings advantages and disadvantages at the same time. In these circumstances, you are required to choose the right option considering all aspects of selling a used car.

Often people choose to trade in their used car, but you should keep in mind that it is quite possible that you may end up with a lower price for your used vehicle. The first priority of all car dealers is to turn a profit, and they will take advantage of your urgency to sell to get the lowest price possible. They buy used cars at a discount and sell them at a price, which is often far higher than the price they have paid. The biggest disadvantage of trading-in is that you hardly get a fair price for your used car.

Another option is to sell your used car on your own. Selling a car privately is a tough and stressful task with so many prevailing obstacles. Many people find it really difficult to sell a used car on their own. You have to take time out of your busy schedule because you’re at the mercy of the schedule of the buyer. You also have to go through the hassle of advertising your used car by purchasing expensive classified ads from local newspapers and websites. The story does not end there, your phone starts ringing and you have to make appointments and host test drives, and in the end you are still not sure it will end in a successful sale. A tiring and time-consuming process, truly!
