Summer is one of the most popular times of the year for buying a new car in Dubai. Special offers, deals and incentives flood the market and many car owners see it as the perfect time to upgrade their existing model either by trading in, selling privately or picking up a brand-new car for the first time.
Over the past 12 months, new car sales in Dubai have dipped by more than 20 percent, according to stats released by Autodata, a company that supplies technical information to the automotive market. The best year for new car sales in the UAE in recent times was 2014, when more than 400,000 brand-new units were sold at the showroom; and as a result of this dip, 2017 is seeing dealers become more overt with their special offers over the next month – but more on that later.
