American Spec or Japanese Spec Cars in UAE

The imported cars are less priced in the UAE when compared to the cars of GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) specs. The prices of imported cars are less and are tempting. The high-end feature cars are from America or Japan. 

The interiors and exterior designs are good and attractive. There may or may not be some risks associated with cars that you may not know when you buy cars. Here in this article, we will discuss the risk associated with the American Spec/Japanese Spec Cars in the UAE.

Salvage Cars

You may get a salvage car and this is the reason that you should be careful and cautious while purchasing imported second-hand cars. There are dealers who deal with the cars from the USA, Japan and then they sell the same cars in the UAE. They sell the cars making them look in good condition. 

These costly cars may be involved in the accidents and the car dealers modify them. Since the cars might have been met with an accident their value will diminish. The diminished car value has reduced market value and this is also a reason for the fall in price. The damages may not be visible at notice and they may be beyond mechanical repairs. 

Unfavourable Conditions

The weather conditions in the UAE are not favourable for the car. UAE has extreme temperatures and climate. The design of the spec cars is not suitable for the climatic conditions of the UAE.  The radiator capacity should be good enough for higher temperatures in the UAE. 

Based on the climatic conditions of Japan or America the radiators are suitably produced and fixed in the machine. The Air cooling unit may not be suitable for the climate of the UAE. It is designed for low temperatures but the UAE temperatures are extreme and may not be favourable. On the other hand, the coastal areas have high temperatures, and the cars should have advanced protection to protect against rust & corrosions. 

There is a risk of damaging the engine as the cars get exposed to high temperatures with sand & wind blows. The filters should be designed according to the high-temperature zones. You might spend more on the repairs after you purchase the car. 

Offers and discounts

If you are purchasing a brand new car then the car company will provide you with offers and discounts. If you are buying used cars or imported cars then you may not be offered discounts or any promotions. The company may offer free maintenance or servicing and a warranty on the car products. 

The imported cars should go for local servicing, generally, this place is where they are generally sold by the dealer. The local service stations offer services at lower prices and it may be cheaper but it is highly risky. You may be thinking of saving money but you may not know the genuinity of servicing.  

Risky deal

The imported cars may be cheap during the initial stages but when you start using them in the long run they turn out to be expensive for their continuous maintenance expenses. The expenses will be more which may be beyond your control. 

It is risky from the extreme climate point of view as the cars are not designed for the UAE climate. Even if you use it without taking precautionary measures then you will risk the engine. If you are planning to purchase a used imported car then you will not know the history of car service on imported cars. 

Takeaway

The cars in the UAE are cheaper compared to the other regions. If you are planning to buy American or Japanese cars then consider the aspects discussed above and buy at your own risk. However, if you want to purchase these cars it would be better to repurchase the cars locally. This will be very economical and you can avoid import duty and transportation expenses. You can ship your car directly to Dubai from the seller's destination.
