Ramadan 'killer' car deals in UAE

Ask any avid car enthusiast, and they’ll tell you that the month of Ramadan is one of the best times in a year to buy a car in the UAE.

Car dealers in the country have already started lining up their offers, with slashed price-tags, low or no down payment, and a host of other freebies thrown in to entice customers into getting a new set of wheels.

Traditionally, UAE’s car dealers offer deals during the peak summer months and again during the month of Ramadan. These two periods generally account for almost half of their annual revenues, they say.
