# Used Car Buyer – Vehicle Sourcing and Valuation – Al-Futtaim Group

Al-Futtaim Group’s automotive business handles a constant flow of used vehicles coming in through trade-ins, lease returns, and direct purchases, and someone has to put an accurate, defensible value on each one before it goes back on the lot. That’s the core of the Used Car Buyer role in Abu Dhabi: sourcing vehicles and assessing their condition, market value, and resale potential so the business buys at a price that still leaves room for a healthy resale margin.

Day to day, the role involves physically inspecting vehicles (mechanical condition, mileage, service history, cosmetic wear), cross-checking against current market pricing and demand trends for that model, and negotiating a purchase price directly with sellers or trade-in customers. Getting the valuation wrong in either direction costs the business, overpay and the resale margin disappears, underpay and the deal falls through or damages customer goodwill, so judgment under some commercial pressure is central to the job.

Al-Futtaim Group has operated in the region since the 1930s and represents a wide range of international automotive brands, which means a Used Car Buyer here is valuing vehicles across a broad mix of makes rather than a single brand’s product line.

It suits someone with genuine automotive knowledge and a sharp eye for condition and market value, who’s comfortable negotiating face-to-face and making a confident call under some time pressure.

## Requirements

- Prior experience in used vehicle valuation, automotive buying, or a related automotive retail role

- Strong working knowledge of vehicle mechanical and cosmetic condition assessment

- Familiarity with current used vehicle market pricing and demand trends across common makes and models

- Confident negotiation skills, comfortable discussing price directly with sellers and trade-in customers

- UAE driving license and willingness to travel for vehicle sourcing and inspections

- Basic computer literacy for recording valuations and using inventory/pricing systems
