The most important thing is to carefully check the car&#8217;s technical health, make sure it hasn&#8217;t been in any crashes, and ideally have a separate repair look at it before buying it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1764335376534\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What mileage is too high for a used car?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends entirely on the brand and maintenance history rather than just the number. Japanese cars like Toyota and Honda regularly run past 300,000 km with proper servicing, whereas European luxury cars often need major repairs after 150,000 km, regardless of maintenance quality.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1764335382126\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I buy GCC specs or American\/Japanese specs?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">GCC specs work best for most buyers since they&#8217;re designed for the local climate and hold resale value better. On the other hand, American or Japanese specs cost less initially but sell more slowly later.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1764335388702\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How much should I budget for repairs after buying?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Plan on spending AED 2,000 to 5,000 ($545 to $1,360) within the first year for unexpected repairs and maintenance.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1764335395326\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which brands are most reliable at this price point?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Toyota and Honda top the reliability list because their engineering focuses on durability over luxury features.
