UAE Certified Pre-Owned Car Market Trends & Drivers:

The certified pre-owned car market is also increasing in the UAE. This is a result of consumers looking for good quality vehicles at reasonable prices. Vehicles are heavily inspected and refurbished to make them as new as possible, but with lower prices as opposed to equivalent new vehicles. Extended car warranties, verified service history and roadside assistance can be helpful. Leading car dealers such as Al-Futtaim offer such schemes upon popular family cars like the Toyota Camry. These programs transport reliably at a lower cost than people buy new and attract families or young professionals.

The trend toward being environmentally conscious and regulatory agencies ensuring that vehicles are safe and have lower emissions also drives growth in the second-hand market. Furthermore, certified pre-owned cars are considered a greener alternative compared to new cars as they reduce waste and carbon footprints. Regulations that require compliance with safety and emissions standards, as well as digital services that provide vehicle histories, finance and trade-in options have made these cars more accessible to the consumer and are considered to provide peace of mind.

The large and fluid expatriate population in the UAE also drives demand for certified pre-owned vehicles, as people may not stay in the country for a prolonged period. Rent-to-own and lease-to-own schemes provide an affordable ownership solution, often with insurance, maintenance and registration included in a monthly installment, without the customer having to incur a large upfront cost. Coupling these demographic and economic trends with the growing urbanization and mobility demand, certified pre-owned vehicles are a logical and attractive proposition throughout the Emirates for customers.
