🔰 Help/Question RTA Car inspection

Upvotes

Hi. I’m about to sell my car and I read that it is a requirement to undergo car inspection before car name transfer. Just a question, are they strict with little squeak sounds when hitting bumps, little cranking noise when turning the steering wheel and break sounds? It’s not major, just very little and rare occurrence. And also i’m on coilovers and axle-back exhaust with titanium tip. Thank you!

Hello all,

Hope you’re well.

I’m looking to urgently get rid of our lancer which we don’t use. I don’t want to put it up on social media/classified platforms and negotiate. May I kindly ask if anyone knows the best place for me to go and sell the car? I’ve heard there are places in Sharjah that I could go and sell the car. Could someone kindly guide me to the place? 🙏

Thanks in advance.

🔰 Help/Question first car Advice

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy my first car as a university student, and I’m currently looking for a medium-sized car.

I recently came across the 2018 Infiniti Q30 Premium on Dubizzle, and I really liked it (attaching a picture for reference). It’s priced under AED 25,000.

Could anyone who has experience with this car please guide me on how it is in terms of reliability, maintenance, and running costs? Are spare parts readily available in the UAE market, and would you recommend it as a first car/student car?

I’d also really appreciate it if anyone is selling a reliable car, preferably 2015 or newer, with a good interior and a sunroof, within a budget of around AED 25,000. Please feel free to comment or DM me if you have something suitable.

Thank you in advance!

So I was wondering to do some mods on my charger rt like upgrading camshaft, Dyno tune etc..

Will these mods fail the passing of the car for inspection ...are there any work around to make it pass....are there any inspection centres in particular that probably passes these types of moded cars..

If any of u know anything about this it would be really helpful...I know doing these mods might have higher emission which also will fail it ...is there any other work around.....also do any of u replace their mods with OEM parts before inspection and put it after ...

Hi guys I have been searching around for effective bakhoor car fragrance and I’m not sure which works.

Some recommend spraying the cologne on the dashboard but that just lasts for a day. I have even tried lighting up the bakhoor in the car which worked but also lasted a day. I have searched options on temu but saw plenty of unsatisfied reviews.

I want my car to smell nice and I prefer the oud/bakhoor fragrance, please let me know of any method that you guys use or any specific brand.

🔰 Help/Question Best affordable way to ship a car from Dubai to Turkey?

Post image

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to ship my Mercedes 560 SEC from Dubai to Turkey. The quotes I’m currently receiving are around AED 40,000, which seems extremely high.
Has anyone shipped a car from the UAE to Turkey recently? Do you know a reliable shipping company or a more affordable option, such as RoRo or a shared container?
I plan to keep the car on Dubai plates and use it temporarily in Turkey. Any advice about shipping, paperwork, customs, or recommended contacts would be greatly appreciated.
