Buying <\/span>Dubai used cars<\/span><\/a> can save you some major bucks, but buying badly can be a terrible misfortune. Sure, we\u2019d all love to have a BMW as our regular ride, but doesn\u2019t that <\/span>used Toyota Corolla<\/span><\/a> for AED 23,000 look good! There\u2019s nothing wrong with haggling or bargain hunting as you are looking for the right deal but there are things that are always best to avoid!<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Cars without a service history<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this age of digital record-keeping, computerized ignitions and engine-control units, a car without an extensive service history is a car that has not been serviced for a long time. It doesn\u2019t matter if the person selling the car swears he cleaned out his commuter every now and then. Of course, there might be exceptions made for classics but look for a long history in any <\/span>Dubai used cars<\/span><\/a> with most of the servicing done by the same mechanic or same dealership.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Cars with salvage titles<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A salvage title is basically a red flag and here is what it means: it’s a rebuilt car that has been rebuilt from other cars\u2019 mechanical and non-mechanical body parts. After a vehicle is totalled, it is given a salvage title. <\/span>According to UAE regulations<\/span><\/a>, if a car has been flooded, burnt, or been in an accident, the insurance company will not cover the damages ranging from 75% to 90% as it is not economically viable for them to do so. That car is declared a total loss and the motor vehicle agency then issues it a salvage title certificate. <\/span><\/p>\n

      In the UAE, around 300,000 used vehicles are imported from countries like Germany, US and Japan. ESMA has the database on the used car exporting countries and prevents them from being sold in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Word of caution:<\/b> A salvaged car spells trouble. Also, your car doesn\u2019t have to look like it survived the post-apocalyptic world to have a salvaged title. There are many reasons why a car may be salvaged!<\/span><\/p>\n
