Why Getting Paid on the Spot Matters When You Sell Your Car in Dubai
When you sell a car in Dubai, insist on being paid in full before the car leaves your name. Common problems are offers that drop after a long inspection, payments promised "in a few days", and buyers who disappear once the RTA transfer is done. Carology pays in full on the spot by bank transfer or manager's cheque, and the price agreed is the price paid.
The problems sellers run into
- An attractive phone quote that shrinks at the inspection
- "We'll transfer the money next week" after the car is already transferred
- Hidden deductions for paperwork or small cosmetic marks
- Private buyers who pay with cheques that bounce
How to protect yourself
- Get the final price in writing before the transfer
- Only complete the RTA transfer once payment is received or handed over
- Sell to an established dealer with a long, public review history
The Carology way
When you sell to Carology you are paid in full before you leave, by bank transfer or manager's cheque. The price we agree is the price you get, with no last-minute haggling and no "we'll transfer it next week".
