How it works
From UAE listing to a decision in five steps.
The same workflow for every car you consider, so you compare deals on the same basis.
-
01 · Search
Search supported UAE marketplaces at once
Filter by make, model, maximum price and emirate. Every result keeps its source, asking price, mileage and location.
-
02 · Compare
Open a car and see how it compares
The vehicle panel shows the UAE asking price, how it sits against the UAE market, and what similar cars sell for in your destination market.
-
03 · Estimate
Itemise the landed cost
Shipping and insurance, customs duty, VAT, port and clearance, registration and approval, inspection and preparation. Each line is editable and marked as an estimate.
-
04 · Evaluate
Read the potential margin, not just the price gap
Conservative, expected and best-case outcomes, with any missing cost clearly flagged so a blank never counts as zero.
-
05 · Act
Save, watch, inspect and order
Save the car, set a watcher for similar listings, book a pre-purchase inspection, request a purchase quote and follow the order.
Market intelligence
Compare the car. Calculate the deal. Decide with confidence.
A cheaper asking price is only the start. The platform builds an itemised estimate for your destination country and keeps three numbers clearly apart.

In Spain this car’s 14.75% CO₂ registration tax wipes out the margin. The same check, on every car.

FAQ
Questions dealers ask before subscribing.
What does the platform do?
It brings UAE car listings from supported sources into one search, compares each car with relevant European market listings, estimates the landed cost and potential margin for your destination country, and lets you save cars, set watchers, book inspections, request sourcing and follow orders.
Who is it for?
European car dealers, used-car traders, importers and professional buyers who evaluate several vehicles and want a repeatable way to judge UAE opportunities. It also works for experienced individual buyers, but it is designed around professional workflows.
How do the market comparisons work?
For a selected car, the platform looks for listings of the same model in your destination market and takes year, mileage and, where data allows, trim, condition and specification into account. Comparable prices are asking prices, not guaranteed sale prices, and the platform flags weak or thin comparisons.
How much does it cost?
The subscription is €97 per month. VAT is added at checkout where applicable. Pre-purchase inspections and managed sourcing are optional services priced separately.
How does vehicle sourcing work?
From any car you can request a purchase quote. If you need a specific car that you cannot find, you can submit a sourcing request and our team searches listed and, where available, off-market options. We do not guarantee that a particular car can be found.
Which costs affect importing a car from the UAE?
Typically the purchase price, UAE export and handling, shipping and insurance, EU customs duty, import VAT, port and clearance fees, homologation or modifications, inspection, registration charges and preparation. Some countries add registration taxes, such as Spain’s registration tax based on CO₂ emissions.
Is the price difference my profit?
No. The price difference only compares a European asking price with the UAE asking price. Your potential margin is the estimated resale value minus the full landed cost and other expenses, and even that remains an estimate until the car is sold.
