Why UAE Cars Are Totally Unsuitable For Russian Use
Recently, the Russian used car market has been revived by the import of high-quality foreign cars from the United Arab Emirates. Richly stocked cars with low mileage, and even at prices lower than ours, are a gift of fate, no different. However. The AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you why it is still better to refuse these cars.

Strings of “Kruzaks”, “Padzheriks” and other solid SUVs crept into our region thanks to the Arabs. More precisely, to Russian businessmen who set up the supply and sale of cars from the UAE. Yes, thick configurations, which we didn’t even have before the crisis, exacerbated by the events of February, are still captivating.

Much more incentive prizes. Savings, taking delivery and customs clearance into account, do their job. Business continued: everyone is happy – sellers and buyers alike. However, few people know that cars from the United Arab Emirates have enough problems that are not typical of local operating conditions, but are extremely relevant to us. And here’s why.

First of all, it should be noted that in the local market cars are offered with a reduced package of “warm” options. If the seats in cars are heated, then the windshield, the rest area of ​​the windshield wipers and washers are in no way. The Arabs, with their 50 degree heat, just don’t need such pleasures. And here’s how we’ll need it. In other words, the machines will have to be completed in Russia. Or drive without heating.

Another important aspect is the less powerful battery with generator. Again, due to the lack of need to drive a car in the UAE at low temperatures. Our climate is quite harsh and in the cold the car simply cannot be started. However, the components are easy to replace. But this is again an extra cost.

Much more terrible is the rather weak paintwork of the bodies of the cars presented in the UAE. In some cases – no galvanization and anti-corrosion, and the application of paint can not be called generous. And why, if it’s not necessary. It is easy to guess what it threatens the Russian owners. Permanent dirt, slush, water and chemicals, which ‘live’ mercilessly on our roads, risk quickly destroying the paint. So it would be convenient to drive a car bought “from there” to a car service for anti-corrosion treatment, as our fathers and grandfathers did in the USSR with their “UAZs” and “Nivas”.

However, the main disadvantage of foreign cars from the Emirates is fluids and lubricants that are not old-fashioned designed for the savage Russian climate. In the cold, they can simply “stop working”. First of all, we are talking about fluids in the transmission and engine. And therefore, when buying such a machine, the oil requires mandatory replacement in accordance with the tolerances and requirements of operating conditions.
