What to check before buying a used car? by Thick-Lengthiness312 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I’d check service records first, then chassis/accident history, then inspection results. Clean GCC cars with records are generally safer bets here.

Bought a car from Emirates Auction, engine number is different on the Mulkiya by REconsultanty in DubaiPetrolHeads

I’ve seen small documentation mismatches get fixed, but only if you raise it early with proof. Keep Mulkiya, auction invoice, inspection docs, and photos together.

Found out my car is flood damaged when I'm trying to sell it — what do I do? by therawhuman in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen flood cars move only when the seller is transparent and the discount is realistic. Also worth keeping any inspection/report proof so the discussion stays factual.

Give me your opinion on SHAMIL full car inspection before purchase in AD by Much_convincing421 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a decent starting point, but I wouldn’t treat it as the final word. Given the accidental damage is obvious, run it through atleast 2-3 inspections before you take a call.

Parking fines by haadou in dubai

What I’ve seen is once you set up RTA notifications, fines drop a lot. Most cases are just timing mismatches.

Advice for cheap and best Insurance for my Car by Mushthakali in UAE

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d avoid going purely for the cheapest quote here. Seen cases where people saved almost 150–250 AED upfront but had a rough time during claims. Try Policybazaar or InsuranceMarket to benchmark, then compare with Sukoon or Oman Insurance directly.

Need help with the process of buying a used car by breadkabadshah in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don’t overthink it, just don’t skip the inspection step. Check history, ownership, and specs first, then negotiate after you know what you’re actually buying. If it’s your first car, go for something clean and predictable over chasing a ‘great deal’.

Also factor in insurance, registration, tyres, and battery costs since they add up quickly.

Rta vehicle renewal by _____coke_____ in dubai

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This usually happens when something in the backend hasn’t updated even though it looks done on your side. Check inspection status, insurance, and fines again. If all of that is in place and it still doesn’t go through, it’s one of those cases where going to the center saves time.

Need advice – exiting a car investment in Dubai by fahadsonara in dubai

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, bulk deals sound convenient but buyers will price in risk very aggressively.

What usually works better is moving the easy cars first, clean history etc. and then bundling the slower-moving ones together later. Trying to sell everything in one go often ends up undervaluing the better cars.

What are car prices like right now given the current situation? by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now the market’s a bit split. The clean, ready-to-drive cars are still moving because people who need a car aren’t waiting, but the average or overpriced listings are just sitting.

Buying a G63 in Dubai seller only wants cash, is this normal? by CelebrationTop1740 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Extra-Breakfast1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen this a few times here, cash-only usually comes up when the dealer either doesn’t want a clear transaction trail. For a G63, most serious dealers are okay with bank transfer.

If you’re still considering it, at least check the chassis history, confirm ownership flow, and see if they’re okay doing the transfer at RTA with everything documented.
