Default Where to Buy Car in Dubai

Hi All,

I'm landing on the 27th of September working as General Manager of company in JAFZE

Having had some help on where to live I now need to know where to get a 4 x 4.

My company will fully expense either lease, purchase new or purchase old.

I have no idea of budget as my MD has to sign it off but I guess 120,000 AED max?

What can I get and where should I go and what websites can I search before arrival?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

do a search on Gulf News classifieds and also a garage called 4x4 but don't buy from them but it will give you an idea of prices. Personally I would just go for a brand new Pajero from Al Habtoor and be done with it.

True, but they have been parked in that lot for several weeks at AED 10/h.
It could be the most expensive stolen car ever.

I dumped my two in Abu Dhabi....cheaper parking and a slightly safer escape route

Thank you all I guess, some interesting ideas. On a slightly more serious note aren't there loads of second hand cars going cheap as I believe I'm swimming against the tide moving to Dubai for work!?

All the repo cars from the bank and the cars dumped at the airport get auctioned off at Al aweer

Yes, its pretty easy. Look at dubizzle or Gulf News Classified. Careful about buying anything off anyone that still has finance on their vehicle tho..
