In Dubai its no more an option to not have a car as an expatriate. The limited public transport system in the country is steadily growing, but still inconvenient and inappropriate for regular trips, especially for employees for whom punctuality is a must.
Whilst your trusted and favorite car can be imported from abroad, in Dubai buying a used car on sale by different sources is generally cheaper than importing a car. Auto showrooms and dealerships are plentiful in this Middle-Eastern country so expats have little trouble selling their dream cars at a reputable location.
Besides being generally less costly than cars that sell in the United States or the United Kingdom, a car’s purchase often requires fewer waiting times and approval times, so consumers might well find that buying a car in Dubai is less stressful than they normally do. The guide will direct you through everything you need to know about finding a used car on sale in UAE, the purchasing process, the registration of your car and certain special Dubai driving regulations.
