If you have plans to resale the car, consider the following factors that can impact its price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Car History<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nCar history is the first thing people will go after for any car listed for resale. People can check their car\u2019s chassis number in the UAE<\/a> via visa official online portals of authorities. This chassis number, also known as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), gives them a brief idea of accident records or whether the car went under major repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMajor accidents and flood damaged cars<\/a> are often red flags as it means various parts of the car went under replacement. If the work is done through a local workshop, there is not much evidence for the usage of genuine parts. Hence, with shady car history, you can expect some lowball offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMileage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Speedometer](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/19070553\/Factors-Reducing-Your-Car-Resale-Value-Body1-190720211200-1024x640.jpg\")
The total mileage of a car determines its resale value as it is also linked to a parts warranty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMileage of cars is a no-brainer when it comes to your resale value. In fact, showrooms often advertise used cars through their mileage. When you purchase a car, the warranty is usually valid to a certain amount of kilometres depending on the brand. Warranty on used cars after it has surpassed its recommended mileage can become expensive and will of course lower the car’s resale value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Age of Car<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe age of the car is kind of a grey area as even a 10-year-old car in good condition can fetch a good price as compared to some new models. However, even if you have less mileage on the car, you will run out of warranty in 3 to 5 years. From the buyer\u2019s perspective, the older the car gets, the higher is the maintenance cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engine Condition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/19071433\/Factors-Reducing-Your-Car-Resale-Value-Body2-190720211200-1024x640.jpg\")
Problems with engines mean a lack of maintenance and it may reflect on the resale offers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you have regularly maintained your car there shouldn\u2019t be much of an issue with the engine. There are various factors that can impact a car’s engine. For instance, delayed engine oil change<\/a>, valves and pistons leading to engine seizure, a damaged timing belt can cause catastrophic damage if it\u2019s broken while driving and most common of all, overheating of the engine can cause a cracked gasket or engine block.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCorroded Body<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe car body is usually built with a combination of lightweight metals including steel. Hence, the body is vulnerable to rust and corrosion if proper care is not taken. Your car resale value would plunge if rust took hold under worn-off paint and damage your car paint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can expect unwashed cars to be affected by corrosion faster in the extreme environment of the UAE due to dust and moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brand Reputation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Car](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/19071325\/Factors-Reducing-Your-Car-Resale-Value-Body3-190720211200-1024x640.jpg\")
Some brands may offer better resale value of cars in the UAE due to access to local parts and service centres<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe brand reputation varies from country to country. Even the model’s reputation varies depending on consumer reviews. There are brands that are more reliable with access to steady and cheap local parts. In short, you can expect to fetch better deals for renowned brands than a rare ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuel Economy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nKeeping the taste of luxury vehicles out of sight, most car market campaigns are driven toward fuel economy. This helps manufacturers sell more cars as people prefer one with low consumption. The same criteria will affect the resale value of your car as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An expensive car with the fuel consumption of a running train will attract fewer admirers than one with reasonable fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colour<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBased on market perception, sober colours like black, grey, white and silver, tend to get better resale value. You can test the theory based on your daily road drive. The question is how often do you see a car coloured orange or pink? Though there are options to change car colour in the UAE it will be an expensive option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modifications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPersonalised or modified cars are not a cup of tea for everyone. Bumper stickers, sunroof addition rear spoilers and oversized tires can depreciate car value in the UAE<\/a> or any part of the world. Some modifications like wheel rims may be acceptable, but it’s best to leave the car in its original shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOriginal Owner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe ownership history of a car is a debatable area as it depends on the purchaser’s convenience. A single-owner used car means the car history will be straight forward whereas a car that has changed hands multiple times, might indicate an underlying problem. If you are an original owner, you can follow tips to preserve car value<\/a> for selling it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\nExplore listings of used cars for sale in the UAE<\/a> to get an idea of your own vehicle\u2019s resale value<\/a>.
