Well Ive driven as far as Ras Al Khaimah and Abu Dhabi to show a car. Anyways things to note is pics of cars with no number plates or blue export plates.
Anyways I just scan the advs everyday and see if car is not being sold for a long time and if he is dropping prices and so on.
For me cash is king, I never discuss price over phone, msg or mail, at best I'll ask if there is any wiggle room.
Then I get cash with me, for example if its priced at 20. I'll. Take 20 with me because of its a good deal I dont want to miss it fpr a few 1000 dhs but I will keep aside say 15. Go have a look at the car, be nice and courteous, test drive and all. Then if I think its a good car. I lay the groundwork for my shtick.
Take out the 15k from my pocket. Lay it on the hood and tell him look man the car is great and I really like it, but its got xyz or i need to spend abc to get it right. So look here Im right here right now with cash so you know Im a serious buyer. And we will go transfer it right now. You wont have to attend any more calls, no more showings, no more tire kicker test drives. No taking to mechanics to check, No more Ill think about it and call you tomorrow etc etc. Straight up deal in a hour I drive away with a car and you with all that cash in your pocket.
And 9 times out of 10 this works. Just last month I purchased a car for my friend which was initially advertised for 22k. I told him to bring cash and I'll do the talking. In less than an hour we were at Tasjeel paying 16k for it. Before that same shtick 11k car for 6k.
And when selling. Good nice clean daylight pics are a must. A good detailed description including at least one thing that is wrong not right with it. And I never post my phone number. If someone is interested in buying your car for 1000s of dhs Im sure he can send you an email or msg. Otherwise you will be hounded all day long with. Habibi blease what is last brice on the phone.
