It gives you confidence to dealers after sale legally as well when dealers buy any car they check the car in full detail its body, its engine and everything they check and buy then they sell it to customers. So in my view this is the safest way to buy a car. You can also sell your car in Dubai easily if you are changing your car. Selling your car will give you support in buying a new car.

Checking the engine

Main par of the car is Engine check it properly while buying any car in Dubai. Check all engine seals, engine oil, engine performance etc below are the mention things that you have to check in every car before buying any car:

1. Leaks: Check all the car engine seals, you can trace these easily. Different fluids run around the engine and a well maintained car shouldn’t leak. Its all seals should be packed. While buying a used car check underneath for signs of an oil leak. Open the bonnet and check the whole engine and check for the oil spots if you found any it means that car oil leaks which is not good. Coolant (also known as antifreeze) is usually green, pink or yellow while gearbox and power steering fluid is reddish brown. Gearbox fluid is quite thick, while power steering fluid is thinner.
2. Oil: Checking oil is general car maintenancedont forget to check the car oil.
3. Head gasket: It sits upper and lower parts of the engine and prevents engine oil and coolant from entering the engine cylinders.

Exhaust smoke colours:  Switch on the engine and walk to the back of the car. A little puff of smoke when starting an engine is usually nothing serious, but watch the exhaust for a few minutes as it’s a telltale sign of a problem if it remains.
