Google negative reviews getting deleted. Very dodgy people.
I bought a car from Car24 and this was honestly my experience.
First of all they Negative Google reviews about them frequently disappear or get removed, which raises serious concerns about transparency and how customer feedback is handled.
After my experience, I personally would not trust their verbal promises or marketing claims.
The cars are kept in a hotel parking lot. It’s dark, tight, and you cannot properly inspect the car or do a proper test drive. You can barely even see scratches on the body properly. The cars also don’t have plates, so you can’t take them outside the parking area.
The salespeople are not honest with you. If the car has issues, they won’t tell you. In my case, the car had no service history/book and they never told me. I specifically asked and they said it had service history. That was my mistake for trusting them and not checking myself.
On delivery day when I asked again for the service book, they told me “we serviced the car ourselves, you don’t need it.”
The car had already done 72,000 km. Where is the history from 0 to 72,000 km showing if the car was serviced on time, what problems it had, what parts were replaced, and what parts may soon need replacement?
Also, don’t even think about the “1 month return” advertising. It’s mostly marketing. First, it’s actually 1 month OR 1000 km, whichever comes first. Second, they charge you AED 2500–4000 in convenience fees plus registration and other costs, and those are non-refundable. So if the car has problems, you are the one losing money, not them.
The contract they make you sign is completely one-sided and written in their favor. They basically accept responsibility for nothing and almost all responsibility is transferred to the buyer.
You may also notice some cars are cheaper than the market or have discounts compared to dealers. Usually nothing is cheap for no reason.
The advertised prices are also not the final prices. By the end, the total cost can become similar to or even higher than reputable dealerships.
They also advertise 1.99% interest rates on some cars. In my case, this was not clearly reflected anywhere in the bank contract. Even the 2.79% for later years was not properly clear. When I calculated the total amount I would repay after 5 years, it was closer to around 15%. I honestly still don’t understand how they calculate 1.99%. Maybe someone else can explain it.
After buying the car, I realized they had removed the window tint and scratched the glass badly while doing it. Some of the rear defogger lines were also damaged. Why remove tint from a car that already has tint? To sell your own tint package again? And how can a buyer prove the previous owner didn’t do that damage?
While I was there, I also saw them removing tint from another car, so I assume this may not be uncommon.
My conclusion: maybe you can still find a good car there, but inspect everything carefully, bring your own mechanic, and do not trust verbal promises. They just want to sell the car. If you know a more reputable place, even if it costs more, I would personally recommend going there instead.
