Buying a new Toyota RAV4 from Al-Futtaim – AED 105,900 car becomes AED 134,864. Which add-ons are actually worth it?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently buying a new Toyota RAV4 from Al-Futtaim Toyota UAE and I’m reviewing the final quotation before I proceed.
The actual vehicle price is AED 105,900, but with insurance, service contract and all the additional products, the quotation comes to AED 134,864.
Here is the full breakdown:
- Net Selling Price of Vehicle AED 105,900
- Comprehensive Motor Insurance AED 4,458
- Service & Maintenance Contract – 4 years / 80,000 km AED 8,699
- ILOE – 3 years AED 1,111
- Graphene Paint Protection – 7 years AED 3,999
- SMART Care Plan Bronze – 6 vouchers AED 2,399
- GAP / Vehicle Replacement Protection – 3 years AED 2,849
- Window Tinting AED 1,399
- Rust Proofing AED 1,050
- Shipping & Handling AED 3,000
TOTAL AED 134,864
The last three items (tint, rust proofing and shipping/handling) are combined as AED 5,449 on the actual quotation, but Al-Futtaim confirmed to me that the breakdown is AED 1,399 + AED 1,050 + AED 3,000.
The two items I’m particularly unsure about are:
1. Service & Maintenance Contract – AED 8,699
This covers 4 years / 80,000 km. I’m trying to understand how much I would actually spend if I just paid Al-Futtaim individually for every scheduled service up to 80,000 km instead.
2. Shipping & Handling – AED 3,000
Al-Futtaim told me the AED 3,000 is “included as part of the car price”, but the quotation shows AED 105,900 as the Net Selling Price of Vehicle and then the AED 3,000 appears within the additional AED 5,449 line.
For those who have recently bought a Toyota/RAV4 from Al-Futtaim: Which of these would you keep and which would you remove?
I’m financing the car, so I’m trying to avoid adding unnecessary products to the financed amount and paying interest on them as well.
I’m planning to buy this car for a long term use, minimum 5 years. I’m generally a law-abiding citizen when it comes to traffic rules and never had an accident before. This car will be my daily car. I don’t drive a lot in general. Back then, I only drive generally 10,000km-15,000km per year. I still want to have this car so please don’t suggest me with another car model.
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has recently purchased or services a Toyota through Al-Futtaim. Thanks!
