Rahimdad Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 This holds true anywhere in the world. Thus a more reliable ride will cost you more compared to a less reliable one. Example a Toyota Prado 2004 model might be selling between 30k - 40k where as a Ford Explorer of the dame model will sell below 10k. This is because the Toyota is more reliable and generally needs only periodic services, whereas an Explorer needs more repairs thus increasing the cost of ownership. Buying secondhand also means taking on somebody else's problems and you can never be sure, although a proper inspection might help your cause. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While trade in my previous car purchased from famous used car dealer in Dubai, dealers reduced 10K straight away than market price on hearing used car dealer name. When I tried to re-sell the same car to the same dealer within purchasing of 5 months, was offering 63% less than price of sold. This mathematics are beyond my imagination. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After purchasing that used car under warranty, while trade in with other agency, valuation guy personally informed that car seems accident history. I think, this fact was intentionally hide by used car dealer executive. Also, the same car was under scheme of free insurance and benefit was not passed to me as well. This fact was conveyed by their teammate during trying to resale the same car to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
