Default Buying a Car

I am looking to buy a car and I have an open mind regarding the make and model. My budget is approx 20,000-50,000DHS.
Can anybody recommend a good compound in either AD, Dubai or Sharjah where I could look around at a range of different makes and models in the one day.
Thanks for any advice.

Al Aweer in Dubai will provide everything you want in used cars.

Airport road in AD. Don't buy from there, but they have loads to look at and test drive and make up your mind.

I have four hiluxes and three 2wd mazda utes for sale. Various mileages, all 08 models. PM for details.

Alternately, when I bought my wifes car, I looked at dubbizle, and asked a few people to bring their cars to MoE in Dubai for us to look at. A few people said no, but a lot jumped at the chance to sell. Buyers market in Dubai. Only paid a fraction last year of what the car was worth.

Hmm, i went round the Al Aweer places and many of the dealers looked very suspect to me.

I'd buy from desperate expat needing to sell - i'm sure there are still a few around.

I agree but he did ask for "where I could look around at a range of different makes and models in the one day".

Dammit, I wish I had known about this one a couple of months ago. It would have been perfect for me.

Get a 2006 SWB Pajero, I reckon you can get one for 40k in Dubai.

Slow as hell, but you can always offload them.
