2024 floods damaged thousands of UAE cars
Right-hand drive not always guaranteed — verify
Flood-damaged cars are being exported to Pakistan
Newer models attract higher customs duty
Service support for luxury brands can be very expensive

⚠️ Post-2024 UAE Flood Warning
The April 2024 UAE floods damaged an estimated 15,000+ vehicles. Many of these flood-damaged cars are now appearing in export markets including Pakistan. Always request an independent inspection from a UAE-based service before purchasing, and check for signs of water damage: musty smell, watermarks in door sills, rust under carpets.
UAE Car Inspection Checklist
Verify the car was not flooded — Dubai flooding (2024) affected thousands of cars
Check for heat-related paint oxidation — common on white/silver cars in UAE heat
Verify all service records are stamped by authorized UAE dealer
Check if GCC spec (correct side for Pakistan) or US spec (wrong side)
Confirm AC was serviced — UAE AC is heavily used and components wear faster
Check all seals, rubber gaskets, and wiper blades for heat-related deterioration
Verify the car has never been registered in any financial loan in UAE (clear title)
If luxury brand: verify official Pakistan importer can service the model
