Any Advice for First-Time Car Buyer in the UAE?

[Stevenparker0655]

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying my first car while living in the UAE and could use a bit of guidance from experienced owners. I’m looking at a few models already, and I’ve started comparing insurance, maintenance costs, and resale value.

Just wondering:

Which brands have good after-sales support here in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

Do you recommend leasing vs buying outright, especially considering fuel price trends and insurance premiums?

What should I check for spare parts availability and maintenance costs for minor incidents (dents, wear & tear)?


If you’ve recently purchased your first car or have helped someone with that process, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance for any tips and recommendations!
