As is the case in many cities around the world, selling a car in Dubai can be challenging. That is why the team at Expat Motors have put this guide together. Our expert tips will help you get a quick sale so you can be on your way to buying your next car or get ready to leave Dubai.
In the UAE you must pay off any unpaid loads as well as clearing any penalties and fines against the vehicle before you go to sell, this must be done regardless of how you choose to sell your vehicle.
For a hassle free experience, it is best to sell your car to a reputable dealer such as Expat Motors. This can be a much quicker process than selling your car online as the dealer will know the Dubai car market inside-out. This means they can often make an offer for the vehicle instantly.
You won't need to worry about checking the car's condition. Most used car dealers have their own quality control process.
There are many used car dealerships dotted around Dubai. However, not all of them have an outstanding reputation. Here are a few tips that can help you find the ideal place to sell your car.
These days, there are not many businesses that do not have a website, so it is usually down to whether the website looks professional. Check the cars for sale are regularly updated and that you can easily find information surrounding the sale of a used vehicle.
Whether they are buying or selling a car, customers will either leave a review on the dealer's website or on their Google Profile. These are helpful for sellers as well as buyers because they give an idea of the type of service you can expect.
A car dealer's social media shows how professional they are. It also shows how much pride they take in their work. One good way of determining this is to check whether they post about new stock and celebrate successes.
When you sell your
car to a dealership, you still need to do some preparation work.
Showing a dirty car
can lower its value. A used car dealer might think the car is not well cared
for. So, one of the first things you should do when selling your used car is
arrange for someone to valet it.
After all, as when
you are selling your car through any other channel, first impressions account
for a lot! A used car dealer is unlikely to trust the seller if they are
presenting them with a dirty car. They may suspect the seller is trying to hide
something.
Minor scratches and
dents also affect a used vehicles value. That is why it is essential to get
these fixed. You can for example polish out a scratch or refit a piece of trim.
These fixes won't cost much but will help improve how the car looks when you present
it to your chosen second-hand car dealer.
As with many things
in life, selling your car requires you to gather the relevant paperwork to make
the sale easier. It allows the car dealer to accurately file all the car
details before they can add it to their Stock. To sell your car in Dubai, you
will need the following:
Being prepared and planning the sale of your car in advance is the key to success. Book an appointment with Expat Motors whose experienced staff is on hand to help you sell your car quickly.
