Negotiation is like a game of chess; one wrong move, and you give the seller an upper hand which might cost you a few thousand Dirhams. In order to help you avoid such costly mistakes, we have decided to make a list of all the things you need to know while negotiating used luxury cars in Dubai without compromising quality or performance.
- Avoid giving away too much information: During negotiation, you must conceal your emotions as much as possible. Never show any signs of desperation, impatience, or even excess love for the vehicle in question. Be neutral and keep the seller guessing, and that way, you will be in a better position to negotiate and beat the price down, especially if they are in a hurry to sell the car.
- Keep facts and figures at your fingertips: Before meeting with the seller, do some research to gain knowledge regarding used Ferrari in Dubai. Check sites like OneClickDrive and compare the prices there with what the seller is offering you for the same vehicle specification. If you prove to the seller that you are not a newbie and understand the market well, then they are less likely to try and inflate the prices unreasonably.
- Be patient: Don’t rush to lay all your cards on the table at once., Give the seller time to reduce his price before you make a counter offer. If you by chance offer more than what the seller was willing to reduce the price to, then you may have to bear the loss.
- Be aggressive: Being aggressive doesn’t mean throwing punches at the seller but by making sure that your counter offer is much lower than the asking price so that there is enough room to negotiate. However, you must not overdo this. If your counter offer is so low that it is unreasonable, it may turn the seller off.
- Use defects to your advantage: You can save yourself a few couple dollars or Dirhams by leveraging in the condition of the vehicle features such as tyres, brakes, and interior/exterior spots.
- Avoid commission seeking agents: If you are trying to save money by buying a used car, going through an agent is a good way to defeat that aim. Instead go straight to the seller or via a marketplace that does not charge anything for buying through their platform.
- Inspect the cars: Used cars are not always perfect, however, whatever defects it has must be manageable. Make sure to vehemently inspect the vehicle so as to know what you are setting yourself up for. Take it for a test drive, listen closely to the sounds it makes. And be ready to walk away if you find an issue that you cannot contend with.
Conclusion
It is often important to negotiate prosperity before buying a used vehicle. By following the tips discussed in this article, you are going to be one step ahead of the seller and are more likely to get the best out of the transaction. And if you don’t follow the steps, the chances of you losing quite a lot of money is pretty high.
