The online valuation gives you an idea about your car's current market value. We always carry out an on-site inspection before offering a final price. There are numerous factors to consider when evaluating a car. Any aspect of a car's history as well as special features or customization have a significant influence on the value. As we cannot see these factors online, the price that we offer might differ from the online valuation. If your car is better than expected it can even be higher, damages on the other hand can reduce the final price. We guarantee to make you a fair offer and perform a transparent valuation.

What does 'subject to inspection' mean?

Our online valuations are market value indications and should not be construed as a contract. Prior to any purchase an individual on-site assessment of your car by our skilled experts is necessary.

A friend or family member has passed away. What happens to their car?

Naturally, when somebody close to you has just passed away, the last thing you will feel like doing is selling his or her car.

Nevertheless, when the time is right, we hope that we can make things easier for you.

In order to administer any aspect of a recently deceased person's estate, it is necessary to first get Grant of Probate. This is usually a simple process when you have been named as an Executor in someone's will and are also able to provide a valid Death Certificate.

If you already have Comprehensive insurance cover on your own vehicle, you will generally be insured to drive vehicles that don't belong to you, but only on a Third Party basis. Please check with your insurer, before driving the car.

As an Executor, you should have full access to find out if there is any outstanding finance on the vehicle. Usually, the registration card (Mulkiya) should mention, if the car is financed. If you do not have the registration card, please contact your local traffic department, e.g. RTA, to receive information about the vehicle.

What's the best way to sell the car? If the car hasn't been mentioned in the deceased person's will, it will fall to the Executor to arrange its sale. Of course, this can be an area of great sensitivity for relatives and friends. You might want to talk to them first, before selling the car. We at webuycarsdxb.com are happy to guide you through the entire sales process and will do our best to make the process as smooth as possible.

Please note that this information does not constitute legal advice. It should therefore be taken for guidance purposes only. webuycarsdxb.com cannot be held responsible for any legal consequences, which might occur.

What happens to the car in the event of divorce?

First, we recommend figuring out the actual value of the car in order to be able to strictly talk financial terms. You can get a free and instant online valuation here at webuycarsdxb.com. This should put emotional topics aside.

Once you know how much your car is worth, you can agree to pay half the value to your spouse or get paid half. Of course, this depends on the agreement between you and your legal partner in terms of percentage split of your assets.

What if I don't have the original registration card (Mulkiya)?

We are unable to purchase any car without the original registration card present. If you do not have one, you can obtain a new document by applying at your respective traffic departments, e.g. RTA.

I am moving abroad, what should I do with the car?
