Dubai’s skyline may shine with luxurious supercars, but not every vehicle on the road is brand new or in pristine condition. If you’ve got a damaged, old, or non-running car sitting in your garage, you might be wondering: Can I sell it? Is there even a market for this kind of vehicle? The good news is: yes, you absolutely can sell a damaged or old car in Dubai—and it’s easier than you think.

At Car Buyers Dubai, we specialize in helping car owners like you turn your unwanted vehicles into instant cash. Whether your car has accident damage, engine problems, or it’s simply too old to repair, this guide will walk you through your selling options and how to get the best deal in the shortest time.

Why Sell Your Damaged or Old Car in Dubai?

1. Free Up Space

Old or non-running cars take up valuable space in your driveway or garage. Selling them means you get more room and peace of mind.

2. Avoid Ongoing Costs

Insurance, registration renewals, and maintenance costs can add up even if the car isn’t in use. Offloading it means no more wasted money.

3. Get Instant Cash

Even cars that seem worthless to you may still have value—especially to professional car buyers who understand the parts, scrap, and salvage market.

What Types of Old or Damaged Cars Can Be Sold?

At Car Buyers Dubai, we accept a wide variety of vehicles, including:

  • Accident-damaged cars

  • Engine or transmission failure

  • Cars that won’t start

  • Flood-damaged vehicles

  • High-mileage or end-of-life cars

  • Cars with expired registration

  • Abandoned or unwanted vehicles

You don’t need to spend a single dirham fixing them—we buy cars as-is, no matter the condition.

Can I Sell My Car Without Repairing It?

Yes! One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need to repair your car before selling it. While this might be true if you're trying to sell privately or through classifieds, Car Buyers Dubai offers a smarter solution:

  • No repairs needed

  • No RTA passing required

  • No hassle of finding a buyer

We’ll give you a fair market offer based on your car’s make, model, year, and current condition—even if it's not drivable.

What Documents Are Required to Sell a Car in Dubai?

If you're selling a car in Dubai, here’s what you typically need:

  • Emirates ID

  • Car registration card (Mulkiya)

  • Clearance from bank (if the car was financed)

  • RTA documents (if transferring ownership)

But if you’re selling to Car Buyers Dubai, we handle most of the paperwork, so all you really need is your ID and Mulkiya. If the registration is expired or you’ve lost documents, let us know—we can still help.

Can You Sell a Car If It Has Outstanding Fines or a Loan?

Yes, but with conditions:

  • Fines: If the car has traffic fines, they need to be cleared before transfer. We can help guide you through the process.

  • Loans/Finance: If your car is still under finance, you’ll need to obtain a clearance letter from your bank. In many cases, we can help you settle the loan and buy the car outright.

How Much Is My Damaged or Old Car Worth?

The value of your car depends on:

  • Make, model, and year

  • Mileage

  • Current condition

  • Damage extent

  • Market demand for parts or scrap

Don’t waste time guessing—get an instant valuation now from Car Buyers Dubai. We give honest, competitive offers based on current market data.
