How To Trade in Your Car

If you still adore your nippy little city run-around but a new baby demands a larger, more flexible crossover or family-friendly sedan, it may be time to trade in your car. In the UAE, pre-owned cars are big business, and at Al-Futtaim Automall we are always looking for popular models to buy. If you’re in the market for an upgrade or want to change direction completely with an SUV or a hybrid car, now’s the time to trade in your car with Al-Futtaim Automall.

What is trading in?

When you sell your car in the UAE, you have several options. You can either sell it privately, sell to a dealership like Al-Futtaim Automall, or you can trade it in for a newer model. but simply, trading in means that you sell your car to a dealership and offset the money you get for it against the price of a new or pre-owned car. You then pay the balance on your new car.

The big advantage of trading in as part of a deal is that it can drastically reduce the price you pay for your new car. If you’re arranging finance, it can cut the cost of your monthly repayments. And if you’re buying outright, it means that you may be able to afford a more luxurious or newer model.

First things first…

Before you trade in your car in the UAE, you need to know how much it’s worth.

One of the best ways to do this is to use our online valuation tool. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s hassle-free.

Firstly, go to our online trade-in valuation tool. Enter the make, model, year and mileage of the car you want to trade in. You will need to agree to the terms and confirm that the vehicle hasn’t been subject to an insurance write-off, has no internal or external damage and has no mechanical issues, and that the vehicle is GCC specification. Hit enter, and you’ll get an instant valuation based on the best market values. This gives you the reassurance that you’re not being offered a trade-in value that’s below the market value of your car.

If you then decide that you’re happy with the trade-in value, you can then choose your next car, and when you’re ready to buy, we can arrange to take your old car as part payment towards your new one.

It’s really that simple!

What if I have outstanding finance?

If you still have finance outstanding on the car you want to trade in, we can take care of all the paperwork, and simply deduct the outstanding amount from the offer you receive.
