Re: Buying a car
It's alright, it's plain and simple inside, cheap to run, cheap to service and cheap to fix if anything happened. Spot on.

Re: Buying a car
Hi everyone
Looking to buy a car in the next couple of weeks but not sure where to buy a second hand one from. Would ideally like to buy from a dealer so not really interested in Dubbizzle as im not sure about the proccess from buying cars from people in the UAE unless someone can tell me its simple enough
I have only seen new car dealerships around so can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks

Re: Buying a car
Both my cars were bought second hand off Dubizzle, no different to buying a car off Autotrader back home IMO.

Re: Buying a car
Check car, like it, negotiate.
Go to RTA with seller, it get's tested and you get report.
Everything fine then pay the seller when you're getting the license changed over to you.
Get car license
Buy insurance at same time (insurers are in the building)
Buy salik if needed (DXB)
Get new plates? Is that always needed? Not sure.
Drive it home
Boom.

Re: Buying a car
mot - once a car is 3 years old it has a test done at the rta.
no road tax as such but you have to re-register each year.
when you go to traffic there will be insurance places therew too.
