used cars in dubai

Hi guys,

I am a new joiner and I have enough for taxi driver falling a sleep on SZR, bit scary from the back seat !

So, I am looking to get a car quicky with the EK loan (70000AED), either a ford explorer or a toyota fortuner, I want to get one from a dealer, to avoid problems...

Where can I find the best place to buy it, with a good discount!

Thanks

Al Futtaim automall and nowhere else. Honest service history, warranty and you can return the car within two months for a reasonable credit against a different vehicle if you don't like the one you've chosen.

Thumbs down Automart

At all cost avoid Philippean Motors in the Automart! Please. They claim to be friends of Emirates but will quite happily sell you a bag of spanners, with 'full service history, one lady driver, never driven in the desert' honest! Then keep your deposit when AAA garage identify it's faults. (AAA garage are awesome by the way)

Stick to main dealers or Dubizzle with a full vehicle check by someone like AAA garage (around 300 AED)

Good luck. If it's too good to be true.......

If you're really brave try Golden Bell auctions,

EK Loan aka Golden handcuffs

Did I read in previous posts that the EK loan was just another set of handcuffs.

Also is 70k enough for a NEW 4x4 in UAE.

The Mitshibishi Pajero seems to be popular as well, can pick up a brand new one from 110.000 to 130.000 depending on engine etc

Definitely agree with what Junglie-driver said, re: AAA, google AAA Dubai. I took 2 used cars there, all "lady driven, perfect condition etc. etc." and they turned out to be almost as bad as the rusty 737-400s I used to fly! The 3rd car got a clean report, I bought it and it runs like a dream. I used Dubizzle to find my car, also when you find a car you like on Dubizzle do another search with the owners contact phone number, sometimes you find some multiple/dodgy listings!

A Ford Explorer?? Jesus wept!

Get yourself a Toyota Prado - it is everything you want for the region.

The problem with Prado's is you need to save up 70dhs every 3 years to change the wiper blades

Seriously you won't go wrong, just make sure you get it away from main agent servicing as soon as the warranty runs out, ohterwise yu become a target of easy opportunity. Change the fluids on these cars even remotely regularly and they will run forever.

I am a new joiner as well and i have had a few bad experiences with ads that state "lady driver, parked under the shade, and never off-roaded."

Be very careful!

Save yourself the headache and just buy from a dealer.

If anyone comes across a good quality Landrover Defender, can you point me in their direction. Spent many hours on Dubizzle, but no luck to date. Cheers JD
