Has anyone purchased an ex-taxi/fleet vehicle ?

Coming across a lot of ex-taxi model 3's recently for a much lower price than on Dubizzle. Interior seems fine and mileage as well seems not too bad, around 100-150K. 2022-2023 models. What's the catch ? Do EV's suffer with excessive wear being a taxi or is the range heavily depreciated ? Seems like a good deal for a 2023 model ?

2013 Mercedes Benz C350

Item Name: Mercedes Benz C350

Description/Features: Regrettably having to sell my beautiful W204, the car comes with the naturally aspirated 306 HP M276 V6 and rear-wheel drive is the absolute sweet spot of the lineup.

It gives you plenty of power, around 10–12 km/L on gas, and avoids all the headache-inducing issues of air suspension, turbo failures, or bore scoring seen on the larger V8 models.

I bought this car two years ago with the intention of keeping it long-term, which is why I was incredibly meticulous about preventative maintenance. The only reason I’m selling is because I live in a villa and want to transition to an EV/Tesla while I take the E63 out on the weekends lol.

Factory Specs: Equipped with the rare Dynamic Handling Package, AMG floor mats, factory sunroof, Premium Sound System and the factory AMG bodykit.

Upgrades: Added integrated Apple CarPlay / Android Auto added to the factory screen, plus a fresh Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light Ceramic Coating on the paint.

Mechanically & Preventatively Sorted (Bills Available):
The M276 engine is legendary for reliability, but it has a few known quirks that I have already addressed so the next owner doesn't have to:

Camshaft Magnets & Sensors: Brand new. Zero oil creeping into the engine harness wiring.

Timing System: Completely quiet on cold starts with zero timing chain rattle.

ESL (Electronic Steering Lock): Sorted (a common W204 failure point you won't have to worry about).

O2 Sensors: Brand new.

Receipts and bills available for all work done during my ownership.

Tires are Nexen Nfera Supreme from 2023, I've got invoices for those as well.

Fuel pump and filter was changed early 2026 as well.

I’m aware this is priced toward the top of the market for a W204. This is a turn-key, headache-free daily driver, a serious alternative for anyone cross-shopping a Lexus IS350 who wants German driving dynamics with Japanese-level reliability.

Pre-Purchase Inspections (PPI) are more than welcome at any reputable shop of your choice at your expense.

Apologies for the car being a bit dirty on the inside. I'll personally pay for a proper car wash the day you'll be picking the car up.

Serious buyers only, please. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a viewing.

VIN Number: WDD2040571A824254

Regional spec: Japanese

Odometer: 90,411 KM (Will keep going up as it's my daily)

Price: AED 45,000 (Negotiable if you REALLY want it)

Looking for rim recommendations

Hello everyone!

First day here in the club, here is my W212 E63 AMG with the legendary M156 motor.

Currently on 19 inch monoblocks from the W140 S600.

Been running these for a while and looking for a few opinions on what to run next. Please feel free to add in some recommendations.

(I don't want to run the original performance pack 5 spoke wheels just to be unique)

WTS: 2013 Toyota 86 Manual GCC

Reposting hoping for better visibility and the right buyer. 🤞

WTS: 2013 Toyota 86 GCC Manual

Item Name: Toyota 86

VIN Number: JF1ZN11A1DG014207

Regional spec: GCC

Odometer: 156,587

Price: AED 35,000 (Negotiable)

Description/Features:

Hi everyone,

Selling my 2013 Toyota 86. I’m the 3rd owner and bought this in January to be my "fun" manual car.

However, I ended up picking up an E63 estate shortly after, and between work and the new car, I just don't have the time or the parking space to give this car the respect it deserves. I'd rather it go to a fellow enthusiast who will drive it properly.

The Mechanicals:

Valve Spring Recall, Completed at the agency (a must-check for 2013s).

Steering rack bushing replaced. Zero squeaks, rattles, or play.

Full refresh of the cooling system, gaskets, and seals. No leaks or overheating.

Upgraded Power Stop rotors and pads (Front/Rear).

Brand new Dunlop tires (installed 2025).

Braided clutch lines for better pedal feel.

Bone stock suspension. It’s naturally stiff and handles exactly how a factory 86 should.

Condition & Aesthetics:

Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating done in Feb 2026.

Aftermarket Vertini rims (installed by previous owner).

For the dashboard, I’ve always kept a cover on it, zero melting, sun damage, or cracks. The car has been strictly garage-kept its whole life, feel free to lift the cover in case of any doubts.

I replaced a large, gaudy wing with a clean TRD spoiler, Because the previous wing was glued on and stained the paint, I had the entire trunk professionally repainted during my ownership to ensure the car looked perfect.

I've also added a Sony XAV1000 (CarPlay/Android Auto) unit, rear camera, parking sensors, and JBL speaker upgrade.

Added Vland headlights and tail lights.

I’m bundling these in for the next owner for free:

Valved Cat-Back Exhaust: Currently uninstalled and kept sealed at home. It comes with all the wiring and the remote.

Nakamichi Subwoofer: Already wired up and included to complete the audio setup.

I’m not looking to sell to dealers; I want this to go to someone who cares about the 86 platform.

Please feel free to DM me to arrange a viewing in Downtown Dubai. PPIs are welcome!
