Other used car dealers in Dubai

 

Is there any country in the world where used car dealers don't have a bad reputation? The answer is not Dubai or the UAE. And you have less comeback if there's a problem than you do in countries which have some degree of consumer protection (assume none in the UAE). Look at every car you buy on an "as is, where is" basis. The only exception being ones that still have a manufacturer's warranty. There are second hand car warranties sold by Gulf Warranties which may give you some piece of mind but there's a long list of exceptions in what they cover, and check the fine print for servicing locations and frequency.

If you have an accident and it's attributable to a defect that the dealer should have known about and had rectified, the police may get involved. But that's a bit late if you're laid up in hospital as a result. You'd have a very difficult time getting a successful outcome anyway.

 

• 4x4 Motors, near Dubai Airport - well known, large, they sell a lot of cars. Everyone seems to have a story about themselves or someone they know getting ripped off by 4x4. Which probably makes it about the same as a used car dealer anywhere else in the world.
• Auto Plus, Sheikh Zayed Road tel +971-4-3395400, Al Wahda St (Sharjah) tel +971-6-5321122, www.autoplusdubai.com.
• House Motors, Sheikh Zayed Road - seems to focus more on luxury cars (and the customers they think belong in them).
• House of Cars - similar to 4x4.
• Jumeirah Motors
• Off Road Motors - similar to 4x4.
