Do Car Models For The Arabian Market Differ From European Ones?
Most popular car models in the UAE market are similar to those in the EU. For GCC-specification cars in the Arabian market, there is no need to modify lights, indicators, or install additional fog lights as required for imports from the USA.
There can be differences in the equipment of UAE market cars compared to their European counterparts. Often, GCC-spec cars are richly equipped and may include features found in higher trims or different equipment packages. Additionally, some car models are exclusive to the UAE market and have no equivalents in the EU. These vehicles are also in high demand due to their functionality and attractive pricing. We always ensure that the cars we import meet the specific equipment expectations of our clients.
Typical Issues With Cars From The United Arab Emirates
For new cars, it’s difficult to pinpoint specific issues, but we thoroughly inspect every vehicle before purchase. For used cars, especially older ones, a common problem is the detachment of the headliner due to high temperatures.
We always check the condition of this before buying. Other elements to watch out for in older vehicles include the condition of plastics and decorative elements on the dashboard and doors, the state of the headlights to ensure they aren’t yellowed, and the paintwork, especially on the roof, hood, and trunk (for sedans).
Do We Import Cars On Order?
Absolutely. Our clients can choose from our stock or place individual orders. Thanks to a vast network of trusted partners in the United Arab Emirates, we can import both new and used cars based on specific requests. After clarifying the client’s expectations, we prepare a comprehensive offer with pricing and an estimated waiting time, depending on the chosen collaboration variant.
The entire process, from ordering the car to its delivery, is detailed here.
