Best Way of Buying and Selling Used Cars Online in Dubai

Buying or selling used cars in UAE is never an easy task. While sellers want to maximize returns on their cars, buyers are not too keen to expand their budget either. That leaves both the parties stranded which leads to months and months of waiting before they successfully find out their ideal buyer or seller. That’s the reason why most people have turned to online marketplaces for such auto deals. In fact, buying and selling used cars in Dubai and UAE online have made the otherwise hectic process easier and less complicated, even for the first time buyers and sellers.

However, there are certain risks associated with it too as you have to watch out for the online frauds. Therefore, to keep you away from these risks, we have outlined some tips for you so that you can easily buy or sell your car online.

1- Identify your requirements

Whether you are buying a used car or selling it in Dubai, first you should clearly communicate your requirements to yourself, as it greatly helps you to get started. If you are a potential car buyer, you can ask yourself simple questions such as which model you want to buy, its mileage, transmission, are there any specific features you’re looking for like smart navigation and power steering, and are you willing to buy an out-of-warranty car.

Sellers, on the other hand, have to identify whether their car needs any repairs or are they ready to sell it as it is at a lower price. Additionally, they need to be prepared with all the information potential buyers may ask of their vehicle.

2- Choose the right online place

In today’s virtual world, there is no dearth of online marketplaces. However, if you successfully want to buy or sell a used car in UAE, you need to advertise it online at the right place. Doing so can easily let you reach out to a wider audience. There are a number of websites and classifieds sites that list your ad, free or on a commission basis. You can shortlist the one from the lot that most suits your preference. But before going ahead with any of these sites, understand their terms and procedures thoroughly whether you are a buyer or a seller.

3- Zero-in on the price

For buyers, it is important to set a budget before they start looking for a car as it helps them steer clear of those alluring high-budget cars firmly. Also once you set your budget, it is relatively easier to start researching the available cars out there online that fits your budget as well as desired car features.

Sellers need to identify their car’s features accurately for setting up a reasonable price. Doing proper research of what other similar sellers are charging also helps in avoiding pricing too high or too low. Right pricing can increase possibilities of closing the deal sooner.

4- Perform safety checks

Before you buy a used car in Dubai or UAE, it’s essential to inspect it closely. You have to thoroughly examine the car’s condition including its interiors, exteriors, engine, tires, and brakes for any signs of damage; followed by a test drive. After all, buying a damaged car is not at all worth it.

If you are a seller, you need to fix up any damage to your vehicle in order for it to be sold. Wash and clean your car properly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to seal the deal.

5- Keep your paperwork in place

While selling a used car online, you will first need to keep all your documents such as car’s registration and insurance papers in order. That’s because you will need to terminate your car insurance and transfer the registration to the buyer. If you had bought the car on loan, it’s important that you had repaid it successfully, else you won’t be able to sell the car. After the deal is locked, you will require such documents to initiate the transfer procedures.

These all are the best ways to be kept in mind while buying or selling used cars online in Dubai. Log on to Storat & browse huge list of used cars at cheapest price in Dubai.
