Are you considering purchasing a pre-owned vehicle? If so, it is important to know what to look for. Buying a used car in Dubai can be risky if you don’t do your research beforehand. We recommend reading this blog post before making any decisions in this regard.
Get a vehicle history report
Make sure the car you are considering is in good condition and has never been involved in an accident or damage. Accidents can cause serious performance and durability issues in a car. This is the reason why you should be very careful about this factor when buying a pre-owned car in Dubai.
Check to see if there are any outstanding loans on the title of the car
Make sure that there should be no unpaid loans on the car that you are going to buy for yourself. You cannot even become a legal owner of a car that has outstanding loan on the title. If you still want to buy it, ask the seller to clear the loan before buying it.
Try looking for cars that are still under manufacturer’s warranty
Find out what type of warranty is included with the car. It is highly recommended that you consider buying a car that still has at least 1 year manufacturer’s warranty on it.
Avoid buying a car that is no longer manufactured
This is a very important factor that you should consider when buying a pre-owned car. Finding the parts and accessories of a car that is no longer manufactured will become a very hectic task for you. Even if the parts will be available, you will get them at a higher price than what you should be paying for them.
Inspect the vehicle very carefully
Make sure that you thoroughly inspect the car both internally and externally before taking it for a test drive. If you do not have knowledge about what to look for when inspecting a car, take someone with you who is experienced in buying pre-owned cars.
Check all the documents before making the payment
Ask for all the receipts and documents and confirm everything is in place before closing the deal. Do not let yourself be pressured.
Get everything written down on paper
Buying a car is not a small investment. Make sure that you get everything written down on paper with signatures, so there is no confusion later about who said what.
By following these tips, it will be easily possible for you to purchase the pre-owned car that you are interested in with utmost ease and confidence.
