How to negotiate the best car deal – Pocketful of Dirhams



Buying a new or used vehicle can be an overwhelming experience for many — especially if you know very little about cars and what to be aware of before making a commitment.

But cutting through the noise of slick sales talk and the many deals that are on offer in the UAE — which typically include extended warranties, free service packages, insurance and registration for the first year — is only the first step.

It is essential to do your research and set a budget before deciding on which car to buy: new, second-hand or even electric, experts say.

It is also important to consider the cost of running a car, more so these days with higher petrol prices, as well as its long-term value.

So, where do you begin?
