My brother-in-law was trying to buy a car for my sister and found listings on Dubizzle where dealers were offering “brand new” cars cheaper than official agencies. He went to a showroom in Dubai, agreed on a deal, and paid the full amount (around 60,000 AED) with a promise that the car would be delivered within a week.

It’s now been 4 months with no car. The dealer stopped responding, and although they gave him a refund cheque, it bounced due to insufficient funds. We tried filing a complaint with Dubai DED, but they said the showroom is registered in Sharjah, so we contacted Sharjah DED and still haven’t received any response.

After digging deeper, we found multiple Google reviews from people reporting the same issue, some waiting over a year. We’re trying to avoid going to court because of the time and cost, but we’re not sure what else to do. If anyone has been through something similar or knows what steps we can take next, I’d really appreciate the advice.

I went to AlMasood, official nissan dealer in Abu Dhabi to check out the new nissan patrol. From what i remember and know the price of the highest spec is 379k of course it began with 360k i believe and demand was crazy they bumped it up to 379k. Anyways i went today and i was shocked that they’re selling it for 419k?? Thats crazy. Might as well just go for an infiniti autobiography with that price.

Salesman told me even after current situation ends and logistics is back to normal the prices will still remain the same or mostly decrease by 10%.

I thought prices are going down during the current situation, less demand and all.

What are your thoughts?

My car got hit by a test driver of a Tesla Showroom (on regular Dubai plates), their client is at fault (thanks to their dash video). The driver gave his own motor insurance on the police report.

Our own insurance is blocking the repairs because they’ve called the driver’s insurance who’s saying the Policy doesn’t exist. Tesla showroom called their client who confirmed the policy exists.

We’ve asked the Tesla showroom to put their own insurance (the one needed to get their plates) on the Police report, they refuse, they claim they “have nothing to do with this accident” involving their car and client.

Any advice on a way forward? Shouldn’t Tesla put their own insurance, so that our insurance goes after them, and their insurance to go after their client?

The showroom manager told us to go to the Police, but not sure for what, it’s not our details that are wrong, and we can’t change 3rd party information, and we don’t know change to what. So we’re at a complete block.

I dont understand this car androids panels mic quality is disastrous, they can install some high end mics or atleast can have a jack for mic to plug in etc as soon as ur mobile connects to the car play or Bluetooth your voice quality time travels to 1960s

Even i tried to install a new mic i was not able to find any Bluetooth mic or mic in option for android panels

I will highly welcome any suggestions or solution anyone can suggest

Hi all,
A reckless driver cut me out of nowhere in Al Khail. I was able to only take the picture.
Is there anything that could be done?

3 tires are 2022 and 1 tire is 2023. Renewal inspection is coming up next week. Will it pass? Or should I buy new set of tires? Not much wear on the tires as I don’t drive often. Please advise?

I’m planning on leaving Dubai and I need to sell my plate number asap! I

It’s a Dubai private plate number B 38878 if anyone might be interested to shoot me an offer?

Thanks!

Hello guys,

My friend had a minor accident he scratched his car against a parking barrier. The damage isn’t major; it’s just a scratch slightly bigger than a coin. He needs a report to proceed with the repair since he has comprehensive insurance, and I believe it should be covered.

The issue is that when he contacted the service center, they asked him to obtain a police report. However, on the Dubai Police app, the available options are only “unknown accident” or “accident involving another vehicle.”

So the question is: does he need to visit the nearest police station, or is there a way to handle this through the app?

Thank you.
