Comparing two GCC spec Pajeros, but worried about hidden flood or desert heat damage - forresthale - 03.11.2026
I've been cross-shopping a couple of 2017 Pajeros listed by private sellers over the weekend, one over in Silicon Oasis and the other near Dubai Marina, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one is actually worth putting down a deposit on. The Marina one is priced lower, although I noticed some fine sand accumulation under the carpet in the trunk and a tiny bit of surface rust around the door hinges, while the Silicon Oasis owner claims his car has only been driven to the office and back. A work colleague sent me a link to pre purchase car inspection earlier today while we were chatting about pre-owned deals, and reading through their notes gave me some solid professional insight into used car inspection warning signs in Dubai that I definitely wouldn't have spotted on my own during a quick walkaround. It made me realize how easy it is to disguise minor frame alignment issues or worn suspension bushings with a shiny polish job, so now I'm leaning towards booking a comprehensive pre-purchase check before making any firm offer on either of them.
