✦ Market Analysis

Dealers list 80% of UAE used cars as Toyota and Mercedes lead supply

SUVs take 47% of listings, but the standout is seller mix: 80% dealer, 19% private. Toyota (31%) and Mercedes-Benz (18%) dominate makes. The price index slipped 0.33% over 7d across 4950 matched cohorts.

  • Dealer listings at 80% mean most cars carry dealer margins, so private-seller cars are the minority worth hunting.
  • Toyota and Mercedes-Benz together account for 49% of listings, concentrating choice in two brands.
  • Large gross gaps appear on low-volume luxury models like the Range Rover Autobiography, 40.7% below typical.

Buyer tip: Check the big luxury gaps in person: they are gross of condition and mileage, so inspect and verify before treating them as savings.
