UAE buyers are increasingly open to Chinese cars, but trust remains critical. The most common questions they ask before dealing with a new Chinese car dealer include:
1. Is the dealer authorized and MOFCOM-licensed? Buyers want to know the dealer has official export authorization from China and valid commercial registration in the UAE. They may ask for proof of licenses and affiliations.
2. What warranty and after-sales support is offered? Warranty coverage (e.g., 5 years/100,000 km) and the availability of service centers in the UAE are top concerns. Buyers ask whether parts are stocked locally or need to be ordered from China.
3. Can I see the vehicle before purchase? Even for export transactions, UAE buyers often want photos, videos, or a virtual inspection. Third-party inspection reports (SGS, BV) provide reassurance.
4. What is the total cost including shipping and customs? Transparent CIF pricing is expected. Buyers ask for a breakdown: vehicle price, shipping, insurance, and any import duties.
5. What is the delivery timeline and process? They want a clear timeline from order to arrival at UAE port, and updates during transit.
6. Are there other dealers in the UAE I can contact for references? Social proof matters. Being able to share references or testimonials from other Gulf buyers helps build trust.
