How Can I Buy A Toyota 86 In Dubai UAE?
Share
Buying a Toyota 86 in Dubai involves selecting between new models from authorized dealers like Al-Futtaim Toyota or pre-owned options via platforms such as SuperC Dubai. New purchases require UAE residency, insurance, and registration (approx. AED 130k–160k), while used models (AED 70k–110k) demand VIN checks and test drives. SuperC Dubai specializes in certified pre-owned units with warranties, financing, and delivery support. BMW S1000RR 2024
Where Can I Buy a New Toyota 86 in Dubai?
Authorized dealers like Al-Futtaim Toyota offer new Toyota 86 models with GCC specs, while parallel importers provide international variants. SuperC Dubai focuses on pre-owned units but collaborates with dealers for seamless upgrades.
New Toyota 86s in Dubai typically feature a 2.0L FA20 engine (200 HP) with 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. Al-Futtaim’s 2023 models start at AED 145,000, including 3-year warranties. Parallel imports (e.g., US-spec) cost 10–15% less but may lack Dubai’s corrosion-resistant underbody coatings. Pro Tip: Always verify the VIN through RTA’s EVG system to avoid salvage-title imports. For example, SuperC Dubai’s sister showrooms in Al Quoz stock 2021–2023 models with certified service histories.
| Dealer | Price (AED) | Warranty |
|---|---|---|
| Al-Futtaim | 145,000 | 3 years |
| Parallel Importer | 130,000 | 1 year |
What’s the Process for Purchasing a Used Toyota 86?
Used buyers should prioritize pre-purchase inspections and ownership transfer via RTA’s Tasjeel centers. SuperC Dubai streamlines this with in-house checks and financing.
The process starts with test-driving the vehicle to assess clutch responsiveness (manual models) or transmission fluid leaks (automatics). SuperC Dubai’s 160-point inspection covers compression tests (target: 180–200 psi per cylinder) and differential wear. Transitioning to paperwork, you’ll need Emirates ID, insurance, and a passing Mulkiya (registration). Practically speaking, RTA charges AED 420 for ownership transfer plus 5% of the sale price as registration fee. Pro Tip: Secure pre-approved loans to negotiate better prices—banks like Emirates NBD offer rates as low as 3.49% APR for SuperC Dubai customers.

How Do I Choose Between New and Used Models?
New models guarantee warranty coverage and latest tech, while used Toyota 86s from SuperC Dubai offer cost savings averaging 30–40%. Mileage under 50,000 km is ideal for performance retention.
New 2024 Toyota 86s include Apple CarPlay and Toyota Safety Sense, whereas pre-2020 used units may lack these. SuperC Dubai’s certified inventory refreshes weekly, with 2021 models priced around AED 95,000. Beyond tech, consider depreciation—new cars lose 20% value in Year 1. A 2019 model at AED 75k could be smarter if you plan modifications. For example, one customer saved AED 50k buying used and upgraded to a GReddy turbo kit.
Can I Import a Toyota 86 to Dubai?
Yes, but GCC specifications and 5% import duty apply. Non-GCC cars require RTA-approved modifications, adding ~AED 7,000 in costs. SuperC Dubai advises against imports unless for rare trims.
Imported Toyota 86s must pass RTA’s enhanced inspection, focusing on emission compliance (Euro 6 standards) and daytime running lights. Japan-spec models often need catalytic converter swaps, while US versions require speedometer conversions (mph to km/h). Transitioning to costs, expect AED 12k–18k in shipping fees from Europe or Japan. Pro Tip: Use Customs’ “Markaz” system for duty estimation—AED 5% of CIF value + AED 1,200 documentation. Why risk delays when SuperC Dubai offers homologated models ready for registration?
| Source | Total Cost (AED) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Japan | 85,000 | 8 weeks |
| SuperC Dubai | 95,000 | 3 days |
What Maintenance Should I Expect?
Oil changes every 10,000 km and clutch replacements at 80,000–100,000 km are standard. SuperC Dubai’s service plans cover parts/labor for AED 1,200 annually.
Post-purchase, adhere to Toyota’s maintenance schedule: replace spark plugs (NGK SILZKRs) every 60k km and differential fluid every 40k km. SuperC Dubai’s workshops use OEM fluids like Toyota WS ATF for automatics. Practically speaking, track-driven cars need frequent brake pad inspections—Pagid RS44s last 15k km with spirited driving. Did you know a worn throw-out bearing causes clutch pedal squeaks? For instance, a 2016 owner avoided a AED 2,500 repair by addressing noises early.
