Used-car asking prices in the UAE eased 0.5% between 14 September 2026 and 21 September 2026, measured across 4,719 matched cohorts — the same model, year and trim compared between two readings of the market. That is in step with the 30-day read (−1.4% across 4,060 cohorts).
In the seven days to 21 September 2026, 10,207 new listings appeared while 11,146 cars were confirmed or likely sold: roughly as many cars left as arrived, so the market is in balance. The live catalogue stands at 93,128 active listings. On the last 90 days, the typical car takes about 30 days to sell (an estimate from observed removals, not confirmed sales).
Toyota (+0.4%), Mitsubishi (+0.1%) firmed, while Ford (−1.8%), Lexus (−1.0%), BMW (−0.7%) softened — moves among the largest makes are measured on matched cohorts only, so a make with fewer than ten is never quoted.
The biggest cut in the seven days to 21 September 2026: مرسيدس E 550 ممتازة للبيع, from AED 30,000 to AED 20,000 (−33.3%) against a typical AED 23,950 for its cohort. The table below lists the 5 largest drops observed over seven days.
The fastest-selling models over the last 30 days: Toyota Land Cruiser (838), Nissan Patrol (575), Toyota Hilux (479) — sales are observed removals classed as confirmed or likely sold, not dealer-reported figures.
For a buyer: a week that tilts slightly your way — check every listing against its cohort's typical price before negotiating, and start with the price-drops list.

How these numbers are made
This note is published automatically every week from the listings we collect: the price index compares each matched cohort's median asking price (same model, year and trim) between two readings; sales are observed removals classed as confirmed or likely sold; cuts are changes to a listing's own asking price. A week without enough data is not published, and a note is never edited after it goes out.
