Most car owners try to postpone selling their cars as much as possible. It’s a sad ending for the car-owner relationship, especially when you had it for many years and spent tons of lovely memories in it with friends and family.

But sometimes, it’s just the time to sell the dear vehicle. We are here to help you make this process less stressful and smoother and help you take into consideration previous mistakes others made while selling their cars.

1. First Thing First: Ensure a Safe Selling

Selling your car in Dubai to someone you haven’t met in your life can be risky. Make sure you are the one to decide where the whole transaction is happening. A public place with people, shops, and probably cameras around is preferable.

DO NOT let the potential buyer take the test drive by themself cause deceitful people are out there waiting for their next chance to take advantage of people like you, and you can not trust those people blindly.

Ride the car next to them, and tell a trusted friend or relative that you’re going with the buyer for a test drive, so if anything happens, you missed for too long, or there was something suspicious, they can call the police immediately.

1. Watch Out for the Scammers!

Whether you live in a safe city, town, place, or not, the chance of getting scammed is always possible, so you need to watch out and keep your eyes open to everything.

Scammers might take advantage of you by giving counterfeit bills, fake checks, or simply buying your car for a small amont of money.

Go with them to the bank and make the deal there to ensure everything is under control, legitimate, and in its proper place.

1. Know the True Value of Your Car

Knowing the actual value of your car before heading to sell it is just critical. Make sure to do your research. Social media platforms like Facebook, Reddit, Quora, and more can help you.

Or you can look at the car’s book value; there will be some prices listed to be informed about your car’s worth in the market.

However, if you don’t have enough time to do thorough research or have already lost the car’s book value, hundreds of online tools offer you car valuation in Dubai; sometimes, they are even free!

1. Don’t Make Costly Repairs

You can not run away from some repairs, issues that the buyers can instantly spot, like a broken tail light, big scratch in the paint of the car, broken glass, etc.

But, you need to know that extensive and costly repairs won’t get you back the money you put in. A nonfunctioning radio or heavy mechanical repairs are not a must for you. Keep in mind that the buyers are already searching for used cars to buy, so they know and expect that the vehicle is not in its most delicate condition.

Being upfront about the car’s condition and its malfunctions is crucial; you don’t want the buyer to spot issues while test driving the vehicle; you will lose your opportunity to negotiate the price and appear untrustworthy.

1. Wash the Car

The first impression is the most important, so you need to keep your car clean and shiny to leave a good image for the buyer that you are a careful owner who takes care of their car.

Remember to wash it from the outside and clean it from the inside.

Bonus tip: keep all your details confidential; no need for anyone to know where you live, how old you are, or any additional unneeded data that may put you at danger.
