What moves the price of your car

Two cars of the same model and year can sell for very different prices. Buyers look at the same few things, so knowing them lets you price with confidence and fix what you can before you list.

Price it for the speed you want

Check what similar cars are listed for, then decide what matters more: the last few thousand dirhams, or selling quickly. A car priced a little below the market gets many more calls in the first days. A car priced above it often sits for weeks and ends up being discounted anyway.

Photos and description that get calls

  • Wash the car and take photos in daylight, from all four corners.
  • Show the inside: seats, dashboard, boot and the odometer.
  • State year, mileage, specs and service history up front.
  • Be honest about faults: it saves time with buyers who would find them anyway.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I sell my car in the UAE?

It depends mostly on price and condition. With KAS FAST the aim is to sell within 12 hours of your car going live.

Do I pay anything to start with KAS FAST?

No. There is nothing upfront. You pay a 1,000 AED success fee only if your car is sold.

Should I fix small problems before selling?

Cheap fixes such as a deep clean, a bulb or a small dent often pay for themselves. Large repairs rarely do, so price the car honestly instead.
