That quirky design in a unique colour may spring out at you in the showroom, but do you really think everyone will share your tastes?<\/p>\n<p>Opt for a popular colour like white or black and a model at the top of the bestseller lists. Japanese brands tend to be most popular in the UAE due to their performance, reliability and maintenance costs. There\u2019s always a buoyant market for a Toyota, Honda or Nissan.<\/p>\n<p>Appearance matters<\/p>\n<p>Take care of your vehicle with regular washing and waxing. Remember, you can be fined Dh500 for possessing an excessively dirty car in the UAE, so it absolutely makes sense to keep it clean.<\/p>\n<p>Car interiors can quickly become dirty if you don\u2019t keep on top of cleaning your upholstery, carpets and interior plastics. It doesn\u2019t take long to give your vehicle a quick vacuum and polish on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Shade it<\/p>\n<p>The UAE\u2019s near-permanent sun can really take it out on your vehicle\u2019s paintwork. Interiors can also fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight. So park your car in the shade when possible or invest in a good car cover.<\/p>\n<p>Keep records<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you follow your car\u2019s maintenance schedule and keep a record of all servicing, repairs and work carried out. A well-maintained record will appeal to buyers and may inflate the price you can ask for when you come to sell the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to keep a record of any accidents, scratches or bumps and be able to demonstrate that the damage was minor and that you had it fixed. Not paying attention to your vehicle will only devalue it and a lack of care can accelerate wear and tear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to maintaining your car\u2019s value, it\u2019s all about looking after it and picking a car good at retaining its appeal to buyers.
