How It Works

Buy from where
dealers buy.

Same make, model, year. We source it for less, check it before it ships, and land it at your door for one all-in price.

You don't have to

Each car is matched against UAE listings on make, model, year, regional spec, engine, and mileage. Only real savings make the cut.

0
Expertise needed

You skip the hunt

No need to know which agent to call or whether a Korean spec matches GCC. You browse, you pick, we handle the rest.

02 — Apples to apples

Same car.
Lower price.

We don't compare a 2024 to a 2022, or a base trim to a top trim. Every car on Flaw Cars is matched on six criteria so you see real, fair savings.

Same make
Same model
Same year
Regional spec
Engine match
Similar mileage
Where the savings come from

We work directly with wholesale sources that dealers use every day. No middlemen. No dealer markup on top. Many cars on Flaw Cars are exclusive to us through our partnerships in China, Korea, USA, Canada, and Germany. We pass the savings to you.

Questions, answered.

Smart comparisons

Smart comparisons & savings

How do you make sure the comparison is fair?
Every car we compare uses the same six criteria: same make, same model, same year, same regional spec (GCC, Chinese-spec, Korean-spec, etc.), same engine, and similar mileage. No bait-and-switch comparisons against older years or lower trims.
Why are imports cheaper than local UAE prices?
We buy directly from wholesale sources, so there's no auction middleman and no dealer markup. Many of our cars are exclusive to Flaw Cars through our country partnerships. We pass the savings on instead of marking them up.
What's regional spec and why does it matter?
Regional spec means the version of a car designed for a specific market. GCC spec is built for Gulf temperatures, Chinese spec for the China market, Korean spec for Korea. Specs differ in cooling, electronics, and sometimes safety equipment. We always match spec to spec so the comparison is honest.
Is the stock unique to Flaw Cars?
Many cars are. Through our direct partnerships in China, Korea, USA, Canada, and Germany, we get access to inventory you won't find on UAE classifieds. Other cars are publicly available, but you'll pay less buying through us than through a local dealer reselling the same import.
Inspection & quality

Inspection & quality

What checks happen before shipping?
Standard pre-shipping documentation includes title verification, mileage records, and condition photos. The depth of checks varies by source country and seller. For full peace of mind, we recommend booking an independent inspection in UAE before you take possession.
What if the car arrives different from what was documented?
You inspect the car at our shipping yard before paying the balance. If the car is materially different from documented condition, we cover the cost to fix it, refund the difference, or you walk away. Full terms are in the purchase agreement you sign at deposit.
Can I get my own inspection in UAE before paying the rest?
Yes. Once the car arrives at our shipping yard, you can have it inspected by any independent workshop you choose, at your cost. The car stays in our yard until you're satisfied and the balance is paid.
Process & timing

Process & timing

How long does the full process take?
Typically 4 to 6 weeks from deposit to handover at our yard. The biggest variable is shipping time, which depends on the source country and how quickly the next container leaves port. We give you a handover window when you place your order.
Can I track my car during shipping?
Yes. Once your car is in transit, you'll get tracking updates by WhatsApp or email at every major milestone: ready to ship, on board, in transit, arrived in UAE, in customs, cleared, ready for pickup at our yard.
How do I get the car from your yard?
After RTA registration in your name, you can drive it out yourself, send a driver, or arrange a transport service. The car needs valid plates and insurance to leave the yard. We can recommend transport providers if you need one.
What if my car gets stuck at customs?
Customs delays are rare but possible. Our team handles all clearance paperwork and works directly with UAE customs. If there's a delay beyond two weeks at customs, we keep you updated daily until it's resolved.
Costs & payments

Costs & payments

What's included in the landed price?
Car value + 5% VAT + UAE customs + shipping + clearance fees. The price you see is the price you pay at handover. RTA registration, plates, Salik, and onward transport from our yard are not included and are paid by you directly to those providers.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Optional add-ons like extended warranty are clearly priced before you commit. Registration costs (RTA fees, plates, Salik) are separate and paid by you directly to RTA, not to us. Onward transport from our yard is also on you if needed.
When do I pay the deposit vs the rest?
25% deposit to lock the car when you order. The remaining 75% is due when the car arrives at our shipping yard and you've inspected it (or had your own workshop inspect it). You don't pay the balance on a car you haven't seen in person.
What if the exchange rate moves while my car is in transit?
The price is locked in dirhams on the day you place your deposit. Currency fluctuations during shipping do not change what you pay.
