Are there any other decent websites out there for looking for cars here in Dubai? Autotraderuae just seems to be a big pile of barry white with very little on there and most things without prices.

Local car forums but they will also advertise on Dubiz too.

Souk.com as well as, but again, competition with Dubiz and most probs the same cars.

I am sure there are Arabic forums out there, but I can't read Arabic, so do not look for them.

Autotraderuae is another source. The annoying thing about that website is that most advertisers state "Best offer" for their cars, so you really have no idea if its within your budget. Also the CTSV I was looking at is also on there.....but at 6k more than it is on Dubizzle.

in a word, no. even the autotrader mag is crap as they don't show prices.

best thing to do is wait until ramadan is over and go mooch around ras al khor used car market. if you need a guide i have been meaning to go up as i want something more missile like to drive around in.

Thanks guys. Yeah was up at Ras Al Khor and bought the wife's Type-R up there. Trying to find something for myself now (change from a company car to an allowance) and everywhere but dubizzle seems to be rubbish!

Like you say alot of the other sites have the stupid "best offer" instead of a price which is about as much use as a duffle coat in the desert!

Just found these on google:

emirates-ads.com - rubbish
autodealer.ae - more rubbish
autosouk.com - same again although it did have this "bargain" which must be a scam, it's been rolled or done 100000000000000000km http://autosouk.com/listing/17715/2009_BMW_M3.html...

i love the fact that the scammers don't even bother to make it look like the car is in the uae. there's loads on dubizzle with pics taken outside suburban houses in europe.
