Buying a pre-owned car? Don’t forget the pre-purchase inspection
Dubai and the UAE is the mecca for those who love the sun and the sand. Great beaches and superlative lifestyles. Even when you get to live there for a brief time, Dubai’s essence rubs you off and you want to make the most of your time in the opulent city.
As a short term resident in Dubai, I wanted to enjoy the uber-luxurious city. There is no dearth of things-to-do and place-to-go in this desert paradise.
But, you need a car to get about the city. Being an expat, I knew exactly that my stay will be brief and so instead of buying a new car or being entirely dependent on the public transport facilities. I took the option to go for a pre-owned car.
There is plenty of option when it comes to buying a pre-owned and pre-loved car. The constant inflow and outflow of expats, does make the cars in this market extremely attractive. A couple of year old cars with less mileage are quite easily available, especially the luxury and sport variant brands. But before I got down to the nitty-gritty of negotiating the purchase. I had the sense to take the car that I had chosen for a pre-purchase inspection.
Well, one thing is sure in here, the car detailing services are so good in Dubai, that you could easily get fooled by the shine of the car. I almost just fell for a beautiful sedan but then came to my senses and took the car to a reputable car inspection service provider in Dubai called ZDegree.
They have a facility in city walk, a large well-equipped center. I happen to get good word about the facility by another friend who had purchased a car after he got the pre-purchase inspection services done at the center.
They had a well-trained professional check into all the systems in the car. They had a 24 point-checklist, that covered pretty much all the systems check needed to understand the condition of the car. They went over and under the car to check the quality of parts in the engine, coolant system, brakes and suspensions, battery, tires, and others. Their expertise in general car services in UAE definitely adds to the value they bring to a pre-purchase inspection.
They were able to give me an approximate cost of repair, and the exact condition of the car. This information definitely helped me to negotiate the price of the sedan at the pre-used car dealers.
I was new to the city, but the level of professionalism shown at ZDegree and the transparent information exchange definitely built my trust in them.
And just like my friend suggested, am sure I will also be spreading the good word of ZDegree’s car inspection services to expats as well.
