So you own a well-used car in Dubai and are wondering how to spruce up the ride! Trust us, there are plenty of used cars for sale in Dubai, UAE that could use some improvements. The harsh environment in Dubai, with all the sand and heat, doesn\u2019t help. However, if you <\/span>maintain your used car properly<\/span><\/a> and jazz it up every now and then, you can still enjoy the ride for years to come. Without further ado, let\u2019s take a look at how you can jazz it up!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fix the cockpit<\/b><\/p>\n

\"used<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the place you spend most of your time and the area inside the car you get to interact with the most, so it\u2019s worth making a few upgrades to. Get a fancy shift-knob to start with and replace worn out knobs and switches. A steering-wheel cover can be a nice touch too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upgrade the electronics\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"smartphone<\/p>\n

Time to replace that outdated sound system and get a wireless mp3 player that streams your favorite music straight to the car\u2019s speakers. Invest in an electronic GPS navigation system if it\u2019s not present already. Can\u2019t afford that? Simply install a smartphone holder for as low as AED 60 and use your mobile\u2019s navigation app. Reversing cameras can be a useful tech to help you avoid parking dings, or worse! You can get them up and running for AED 300.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get it polished<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Polish<\/p>\n

If you are willing to spend extra on your used car, you can get your car polished. You will be surprised by how a good wax job can wipe away scratches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customize the upholstery<\/b><\/p>\n

\"clean<\/p>\n

Change the seat covers and floor mats to freshen up the interior. Or you could save up and simply get the upholstery and carpets steamed to restore the original luster of your car. Companies like <\/span>GreenSteaM<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>CarBox<\/span><\/a> can take care of it for you, for rates as low as AED 200.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get hot wheels and pedals<\/b><\/p>\n

\"cool<\/p>\n

Change the hubcaps and really jazz your ride with a cool pair of pedals. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Best of luck sprucing up that ride then! And if you are looking to buy a used car which comes pre-jazzed then browse through CarSwitch\u2019s extensive inventory of <\/span>used cars for sale in Dubai, UAE<\/span><\/a>. Who knows you might find your dream car ready to drive!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
