hi my name is Craig Stevens I'm the chief exec of dubie cars you may not believe it but I've got 30 years experience in the automotive market place and I'm here to give you some handy hints and tips on how to buy car in Dubai and the UAE so the first thing you need to know and this is really important especially if you are an expat who's just come here is that you do need to have emirats ID and you do need to have uee driving license that's the first thing you need before you even think about buying car the second thing you need to do before you buy car is think about your finances now that's really important again how much can you actually afford how much will the bank lend you and also if you selling car how much that is that car worth and how much money you going to get back to put towards your next car so now you're in good position you've got your documentation you know how much finances you can have now you need to think about what's the right car for you and where are you going to buy it from there are lots of factors when buying car and would thoroughly suggest that you make note of these before you start searching for car so you don't end up with Ferrari when you actually needed Land Cruiser work out how many seats you need work out how many ice fixes you need if you're child work out how cool you want to look but there all the things that you need to take in consideration before you buy car also think about whether you want to buy petrol car or an EV there's couple of things you to think about there what you using the car for how many miles you're doing how close are you to child charging Point these are really crucial things to think about the last thing to think about before you buy is are you going to buy it privately or you going to buy it from dealer now if you buy it from private you probably will get it at better price but there are some risks involved around buying it from private so you'll have to Trad carefully and I'll walk you through that guide later if you're buying it from dealer you will pay premium but the dealer will give you warranty he has to have trade license he'll have premises there's some recourse if you need to go back to him and he'll do all the paperwork for you in terms of registration so he'll make your life easier when you come to buy okay now you're in position where you've worked out what car you want to buy or roughly what car you want to buy and where you're going to buy it from now you need to search for this car okay so obviously dubie cars is the place you should go and there's plenty of filters that are going to help you search between make model what kind of fuel what kind of price what kind of modage and these things are really important because actually when you find the cars that you want to buy you will notice there's some differences in price now part of that price will be down to what spoke about earlier that's because actually the dealer will be charging premium for the services they offer but also there are other impacts on that price obviously the age of the car the mileage of the car and the specs so you'll hear people talk about GCC specs or International specs all you need to know is the GCC specs means those cars are built for this region and the other International specs are built for other regions and that will have an impact on price okay now you're good to go you found the car you know you're buying it from dealer or private you know the price that you're happy to pay you've identified the the one you want to actually get test drive contact the owner organize test drive make sure you have quality test drive don't just drive it around the corner go for 5 10 minute drive so you really get the feel for the car if you're still happy at this stage and you think this is the car for you then buy an inspection these inspections are worth their waiting go they will go through the car in fine detail and work out if this car is mechanically sound it will work out if this car has been involved in an accident it will work out the depth of the paint to ensure the car hasn't been repainted and you'll have all the information you then need before you go to the next edge of buying those inspections can be bought on duie cars and would thoroughly recommend that you do it before you buy it's great insurance policy so now you're in great position you've done the test drive you've enjoyed the car you've got the inspection report you've done your research you're now in good position to negotiate make reasonable offer based on all the information that you now have and if the seller is reasonable they'll accept that price but because you've given data as to why you want to pay that price for that car hopefully the deal is done you've now paid the price if you're with dealer the dealer will take on most of the paperwork now so actually the process is really simple from there on in with the dealer they'll do the registration they'll pay out any outstanding Finance there'll obviously be no penalty points or anything on that car so it's really simple and all you need to do is organize the insurance and some dealers will even do that for you if we're going down the private route it's not that hard trust me I've done it many many time you need to go down to testing center with the buyer or the seller get the car tested make sure you got all the relevant documents that you need and then you're in position where actually you then need to make the transaction and the final bit of advice would give you on the transaction is obviously you've paid deposit to hold the car and that's enough for now only transfer the rest of the balance once the car is being transferred into your name never pay in advance always make sure the car is registered under you so hopefully all those tips will help you by safely and look if you do end up in the middle of the desert in Ferrari then obviously you haven't listened to anything that I've said good luck
