Been looking for a way to buy a car in Dubai? Well, it's easier than you might imagine. Although there a few things you need to know to do this safely and legally. You also have to remember you need to register, pay for insurance, and pay for importing fees. So if you've been considering buying a car in Dubai or importing a car into Dubai to take advantage of the low prices in that country then keep reading.
Before making any moves to buy a car in any country you first need to have your resident visa. (If you're not a resident there of course.) Without a resident visa if won't be possible for you to buy a car in that country. Now, that you have your resident visa you'll need to choose between a new or used car. While new cars are sold for a good price, it's important to remember that used ones are even less.
Many people choose to buy used cars in Dubai simply because they are so affordable. Used cars are usually just as good as new ones since the turnover rate of expatriates in Dubai is so swift. People are always coming and going and will often sell their cars for great bargains. If a used car is what you're after be sure to check notice boards, online forums, newspapers, colleagues, and even used car dealerships.
There are plenty of dealerships specializing in both used and new cars. An excellent source of used cars in Dubai is at auction. Buying a used car at auction or a dealership in Dubai is usually your best bet as the cars have all undergone vehicle checks and tests.
After finding your car you will need to find a way to fund your new purchase. You can you cash if the means are available to you. However, if you need to finance you can do so through a local bank, or through the dealership you buy your car from. It's important to note that different countries have different policies when financing vehicles such as in Dubai lenders will need post dated checks to cash every time your monthly payment is due to ensure your payment is on time. You might want to check with the bank you use for more information. In most cases if you bank with them already they will give you better interests rates also.
Next, you'll need to search for car insurance. When buying from Dubai this is necessary. If you can't find an insurance company on your own a dealership could refer you to a few. Keep in mind that insurance companies are different in different countries. For example, in Dubai most insurance policies do not include female spouses or they include "blood money" which is money paid to the family of the victim who dies or is severely injured in the case of a collision.
Once you've purchased the car and insured it you will need to register it. All cars in Dubai must be registered. If you buy a car from a dealership, the dealership will help you register the vehicle. However, if you purchase the car from an individual the responsibility lies on you. Remember, if your car is more than two years old, it must be tested before it can be registered. You can take it to a testing center or hire a service to do this for you.
As long as you know all the basics about buying a car in Dubai, you should be fine. Just remember, it is always wise to go into the purchase of a car as an informed consumer, so do your research before signing on the dotted line. Also, if you plan on importing a car into the country, there are other steps that you will need to take, so making your purchase locally might be your best bet.

What are the Worst Used Cars to Buy?
It was not that long ago that buying a used car meant taking your chances. People would run the risk of purchasing a car with faulty equipment such as a poor engine, alternator, and transmission. Fortunately, there are now many websites and consumer reports that inform people of the best and worst used cars to buy.
In order to help avoid, buying a 'lemon,' the following is a list of the worst used cars to buy:
GMC Canyon 2004 to 2006 models: Used car dealers have been warned to keep away from the 2004 to 2006 models of the GMC Canyon primarily because of issues with the brake lights. Some reports indicate that they fail to come on when the brake is applied or they come on and do not go off even when the brake is no longer engaged.
Chrysler Sebring: Problems noted include: poor reliability, poor cabin quality, poor performance, and problems with the engine, air conditioning and heating systems.
Ford Explorer: Problems noted included: coolant and oil leaks, clanking timing belts, and ticking valves in the 4.6-liter engines.
Volkswagen Passat: The Volkswagen Passat has had a number of issues linked to its used models. These include steering problems, engine and engine cooling issues and problems with the fuel system.
Dodge Intrepid: Problems noted included: engine troubles with the 2000 model, faulty airbags and seatbelts, and electrical problems.
Pontiac Aztek: The Pontiac Aztek is widely acknowledged to be a mistake by GM, and with good reason. Problems with this vehicle include the brake system, issues with the heater and cooling systems, engine problems and electrical trouble. Some car pundits loathe this car because its engine is weak. Some drivers also found it rather ungainly to handle.
BMWs (With automatic transition): These cars are known for their excellent engineering, but not everyone is enthused about the automatic transition BMWs. A car buyer looking at a used BMW however should be aware of certain flaws. The automatic transmission has been found to have problems. In fact, many drivers have found that the automatic transmission is difficult to put into reverse at times. The cost for repairing it makes it an unwise choice for someone who can only afford a used vehicle.
Mazda RX-8: Used car buyers have also reported engine problems with Mazda RX-8.
Kia Sedona: Used car buyers have also reported engine problems with the Kia Sedona. Some consumers have also reportedly experienced rusting of the tailgate of the Sedona.

Insurance For Young Drivers And Civil Law Suits
In today's world, most people consider cars a necessity and not a luxury. However, cars are still considered large purchases, and not something we rush out and buy every day or at the drop of a hat. Maintaining a vehicle and the additional car insurance, gas and expenses that go along with owning one is a large chunk of anyone's budget and not an easy task to complete.
In almost every state in the USA, car insurance is a legal requirement. Young drivers often have a difficult time buying car insurance. This is because many young drivers have accidents. They also tend to drive fast, exceeding the posted speed limits. Even though it isn't easy to find, there are some insurance companies that are willing to write auto insurance policies for young drivers.
If your child is a teenager and is keen on taking the vehicle on road, you must consider buying an auto insurance policy in his name. To this extent, you may conduct a study on various vehicle insurance rates and also a research on commercial motor insurance companies and their policies in order to decide on an affordable policy for your child.
Before insurance companies will issue a policy to young drivers, they will obtain and confirm information about the vehicle, including the model, serial number and the safety features the vehicle includes. The insurance company may also ask about the educational background of your child, because students who excel academically are often given discounted rates.
In addition to the information listed above, the car insurance company will also review the driving record of your child. The company will check for vehicle accidents and tickets or citations. If the child has a clean driving recordno tickets or accidents, he or she will receive a better premium rate than if there are tickets or citations.
Although some insurance companies will not accept young drivers as customers, there are many auto insurance companies that are willing to tap into this market. They are looking for the best customers for the company, though, and require that the young drivers meet their standards and requirements.
To give you an idea how insurance and the legal system would work in the event of an accident, let's look at a scenario in which your child was involved in an accident. In this example, your child is not at fault, the other driver caused the accident. There is damage to the vehicle your child was driving, so you make a claim under the auto insurance policy that was purchased in the child's name for the property damage to your vehicle. The insurance policy will pay for the damages per the policy agreement.
Secondly, if you still feel that you have not been adequately compensated for the damages suffered by your car and some small injuries suffered by your son and also the mental agony suffered by you, you may still file a civil suit against the other driver and claim a compensation which you consider legitimate in the circumstances. Legal proceedings take time and you need to have lot of patience, until justice is done.
