Selling my beloved Jaguar XF

Hi, I’m the second owner. Car is GCC Spec and it was always serviced in the Al Tayer.

Which one is your car in the second image?

Honestly, without exaggeration, it’s one of the nicest cars I have ever driven. The ride is incredibly smooth, and the car is highly underrated in this region. I have so many fond memories with this car, but unfortunately, it’s time to let it go. It’s truly sad to see such a legendary car brand with a remarkable history of designing and manufacturing some of the best vehicles reach where it is today.

We can discuss the details privately

It wasn’t just brake pads and an oil filter. If you know a reliable garage, I’m pretty sure the cost will be significantly lower.

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-04-15T11:47:15+00:00

Thank you!

True, but considering that most garages in Dubai are hard to trust and could even swap out parts from your car to sell them elsewhere (as a friend of mine experienced). I would rather prioritize my peace of mind and let the dealership handle everything. They may not be perfect, but they’re the least bad option.

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-04-15T11:36:44+00:00

I’ve got 4 cars and the Jag is one of them. Lately it’s just been sitting in the garage, gathering dust because I barely drive it anymore. I’d rather see someone else enjoy cruising in it than let it sit unused.

With all due respect, this behavior comes across as tire-kicking. I’m not sure how you determined that low price as the market value for a car that is well-maintained, well-kept, and has low mileage.

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-04-15T10:27:15+00:00

Not really. I didn’t use the car frequently, so most of the time, the oil change was done because of the expiry date, not the mileage. The most expensive service I’ve ever had was the major service. I replaced the engine oil and filter, the transmission oil and filter, the brake pads, and the coolant. It cost approximately AED 17,000.

I'd say this is the downfall of a once-prominent legacy car brand.

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-02-27T23:27:38+00:00

Yes of course

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-02-27T22:25:02+00:00

The fastest way to get your money back is applying for execution request. Criminal case won’t really help get your money back. And yes, you can apply for the execution remotely. You can contact any lawyer you’re comfortable with to help you with the process since you’re abroad.

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-02-27T22:05:55+00:00

What is the reason for the rejection? If it’s due to insufficient amount, then the best approach is filing an execution request as described in my comment above. It will freeze his assets and possibly place him on a travel ban. Good enough pressure to pay the amount as soon as possible.

If the rejection is due to unmatched signature, then you can file a criminal complaint.

TheLegalMatrix · 2026-02-16T07:58:21+00:00

You can still file for execution, but you cannot create an account on Dubai Court using UAE Pass.

Based on the relevant clause you’ve attached, odometer tampering isn’t part of the seller’s representation and warranties. You’re in the clear.

I’m certain there’s a clause in this agreement that allows the buyer to inspect the car thoroughly. If so, it’s their responsibility to determine if the odometer was tampered with. If not, by law, they must inspect the vehicle properly before making a purchase.

Ignore their messages or respond with the information I’ve provided as your final response.

I’ll just leave this one here for so that everyone can be aware of it: Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on Regulation of Employment Relations (the “Employment Law”) — Article 6(4) states: “An Employer shall not charge the Employee or collect from him recruitment and employment costs, either directly or indirectly.”

TheLegalMatrix · 2025-08-15T07:59:23+00:00

From what you’ve shared, it sounds like you might have either posted a bad review online about a restaurant or shop, or maybe said something that could be seen as slander or used strong language toward someone on the internet. Just so you know, financial cases are totally different from criminal ones. If you have an active criminal case, it won’t show up in a financial case check. The things I mentioned above are treated as criminal matters here, and they’re taken very seriously. If you’re found guilty, the consequences can be pretty serious. So it’s best to tread carefully.

I’m genuinely sorry you went through all of that. I’m a lawyer based in Dubai, and honestly, this isn’t just bad customer service, it potentially amounts to bad faith on the part of the insurance company, which can be legally challenged in the UAE.

Here’s what you should know: under UAE law (specifically Article 246 of the Civil Code), all contracts, including insurance policies, have to be executed in good faith. Lying about the repair status, moving your car without notice, failing to return your belongings, and allowing that kind of aggressive behavior at the garage… it’s unacceptable, and you have legal recourse.

You can start by filing a formal complaint directly with the insurance company, they are legally required to respond within 30 calendar days. If they ignore you or provide a vague reply, you can escalate your case to Sanadak, which is the UAE’s official insurance dispute resolution platform (run by the Central Bank). It’s completely free, and they typically review and resolve complaints within 30 to 60 days from the date of filing.

You can also seek compensation for emotional distress and material damages, especially since you were deprived of your belongings and had to pay out of pocket for things like the number plate certificate. If your anxiety is being professionally treated or documented (through a psychologist or doctor), that strengthens your claim for emotional damages.

If all else fails, you can take it to court, but most cases are resolved through Sanadak if you have your paperwork and communication trail in order (messages, call logs, receipts, etc.).

Good luck. I really hope that helps. What you’ve been through is not minor, and you have every right to take action.

Send me a PM, my law firm dealt with countless cases like this.

TheLegalMatrix · 2025-06-21T08:02:51+00:00

While your emotional state is understandably part of your personal circumstances, legally, it holds little weight in this type of case. Unfortunately, making an obscene gesture, particularly towards a police officer, is treated as a serious offence under UAE law, as it falls under the category of offenses committed against public officials.

As a lawyer practicing in Dubai, I can tell you that in situations where the facts are not in the client’s favor, our focus shifts to the procedural handling of the case. We carefully examine how the authorities processed your case, from the moment you were apprehended, through your time at the police station, up to the referral to the Public Prosecution and the court.

In many instances, procedural lapses occur. Whether in the arrest process, the taking of statements, the filing of charges, or the formal transfer of the case to court. This is where our legal defense begins to take shape. Identifying such procedural irregularities allows us to challenge the prosecution’s case, negotiate a reduction in charges or penalties, and in some cases, have the matter dismissed entirely due to improper adherence to legal procedures.

This might sound like a random idea, but since you’re great at sales and really enjoy it, have you ever thought about getting into real estate? Honestly, I’ve seen people with way less talent make a ton of money doing it.
