Q&A – Buying & Importing Used Cars to the UAE
-
What are the disadvantages of purchasing a vehicle through an auction?
-
You have only a limited time to inspect the vehicle, request a translation of the auction sheet, and place a bid.
This is truly a fast-paced process, and while it may feel overwhelming at first, you will get accustomed to it quickly.
-
What happens after purchasing a vehicle?
-
After the purchase, we handle all aspects of the export process to the UAE.
Your main task is to place bids based on the vehicle's mileage, condition, and market price.
If you purchase multiple vehicles, you can choose between RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping or container shipping.
-
Can I obtain CO₂ and NOx emission data for my vehicle?
-
Whenever possible, we make an effort to retrieve the relevant emission data for the vehicle you purchased.
We have extensive experience with vehicle data, so if such data is not available for certain vehicles, we will inform you before your purchase.
-
Shipping Time – How long does it take for my vehicle to arrive in the UAE?
-
The estimated shipping time from Japan to UAE ports such as Jebel Ali is approximately 20 to 30 days, depending on the shipping method and schedule.
-
First Steps in the Process
-
The first step is to register for membership, which grants you access to inspect vehicles available in Japanese auctions.
You will be able to browse listings, check market prices, and place bids at your own pace.
