Used Toyota Avanza in Dubai

The Avanza is the cheapest way to put seven seats under a Toyota badge, and that single fact explains most of the cars listed on OneClickDrive. It is a compact people carrier built in Indonesia for hot, crowded countries, with three rows, sliding second row seats, a high roof that makes the third row usable by children and small adults, and an air conditioning system with rear vents that was designed for exactly this climate. A used Toyota Avanza is bought by large families, by people who run school and staff transport, and by anyone who needs the seats without the running costs of a proper SUV.

Two generations matter here. The car sold in the UAE through most of the last decade drives its rear wheels through a four speed automatic from a 1.5 litre four cylinder engine, which is unusual for a small people carrier and part of why it copes with a full load. The new generation that arrived in 2022 moved to front wheel drive with a CVT and the same size of engine, sits on a newer platform, and gained the Veloz as its better equipped sibling. A used Toyota Avanza Dubai listing will tell you which one you are looking at by the year, and the two feel different enough to drive both before you decide.

Toyota Avanza price in UAE and what a used one should cost

The Toyota Avanza price in UAE listings is set by the year first, then the distance, then the trim, then whether the car was privately owned or worked in a fleet. The number in the heading above is simply the cheapest Avanza listed at that moment, so it is a floor, not a guide to what a good one costs. The Toyota Avanza price in Dubai for a late GLS with modest distance sits at the top, and a Toyota Avanza 2015 price in UAE terms, with six figure mileage and a fleet history, sits at the bottom.

Against the cars it competes with, the Avanza is usually the cheapest seven seater of its year, and the used Toyota Avanza for sale market clears quickly at the bottom because a running, insurable, cheap to fix seven seater is what a lot of buyers here need. A Toyota Avanza 2020 price in UAE terms holds up best, because those are the last of the rear driven cars and the first with the equipment most buyers want.

Trims, seats and what an Avanza is like to live with

Trim names changed with the generation, and the listing shows which you are looking at.

• On the earlier car the G and the GLS are the versions most people bought, with the GLS carrying alloy wheels, a touchscreen and the better seat trim.
• The later car uses its own trim names and adds the Veloz above it.
• Whatever the badge, the thing to check is the seats: the second row should slide and fold cleanly, the third row should fold flat into the floor, and all seven belts should be there.
• It is a car built for a job.
• The engine is small for the size, so a full load and the air conditioning on a July afternoon will have the four speed automatic working hard on the motorway, and the ride is set up for carrying people, not for pace.
• Inside the city it is easy to park, cheap to fuel, and the high driving position and big glass area make it simple to place.
• The Avanza cars listed on OneClickDrive with the highest mileage are usually ex fleet school and staff transport, serviced on schedule and worn inside.

Why buy a used Toyota Avanza with OneClickDrive

Every Avanza advert here names who is selling it, a family moving on from the car or a showroom clearing fleet stock, and your call or message goes to them and to nobody in between. Nothing is added on top for using OneClickDrive on either side, so the figure the seller wrote down is the figure you negotiate from. On a car at this money that matters, because a commission would be a visible slice of the total.

Look for two lines on a listing before you call. One says whether the car has already been through an inspection. The other says whether any warranty comes with it, which on an Avanza usually means either the tail end of the factory cover on a late car or a small engine and gearbox policy from an independent dealer. The estimated monthly EMI printed under the price is the third thing worth reading, because it tells you at a glance whether a car fits the budget before anyone has to talk about money. When the time comes to move it on, a private seller lists the car for resale here at no cost and pays no commission when it sells.

Where to find an Avanza for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

Three kinds of seller hold the stock. Independent dealers in Al Aweer and Ras Al Khor carry most of the Toyota Avanza second hand supply, often ex fleet cars bought in batches. A Toyota Avanza used car for sale by a private owner was usually bought for one family and driven gently, and those are the ones worth a little more.

Every used Toyota Avanza for sale in UAE that our sellers hold sits on one page with the year, the trim, the distance and photographs of the actual car, and the Sharjah and Abu Dhabi cars appear alongside the Dubai ones with the emirate shown on each. An Avanza for sale in UAE listings outside Dubai is often a private car at a keener price, and used Avanza for sale in UAE stock outside the city is worth the drive on a car this cheap to run. The used Toyota Avanza for sale in Dubai list is the longest of the three emirates and can be covered in a morning.

If seven seats matter more than price, the same sellers list the Toyota Veloz, the better equipped version of the new car, and the Toyota Rush, which is the same idea with more ground clearance. The cars people cross shop against it, the Mitsubishi Xpander and the Suzuki Ertiga, each have their own page.

What to check on a second hand Toyota Avanza

Find out what the car did before you look at it.

• A used car Toyota Avanza buyers see with six figure mileage was almost certainly a fleet car, serviced on schedule and worn inside, and a private car with lower distance may have been driven gently and serviced when the owner remembered.
• Read the chassis number off the Mulkiya and run the history against it for accident repairs and any registered finance, and confirm it is GCC specification.
• The Toyota Avanza UAE buyers see is nearly always GCC, but the sticker under the bonnet settles it.
• Read the odometer against the stamps in the book.
• A Toyota Avanza used as a school shuttle will have a stamp every few months and the book proves it, and that car is a better buy than a low reading with no record.
• Ask whether the third row has ever been removed, because a seat that has lived in a garage for three years does not always go back in cleanly.
• On the drive, let the gearbox shift through every ratio from cold, because on the earlier car the four speed automatic is the one expensive fault and on the later car the CVT is.
• Run the air conditioning on full at idle and again at speed and check the rear vents blow as cold as the front.
• Load the car with as many people as you can bring and drive it up a slope, because that is how it will be used.
• Then check every seat belt, the sliding rails on the second row, the rear door hinges, the tyres for matching brands and date codes, and the bumpers for the scuffs a working car collects.
• Where the advert does not already carry an inspection report, book one at an RTA centre or an approved garage before any money changes hands, and keep the report.
• The inspection costs a fraction of what the car does, and it separates an Avanza that will carry a family for years from one that needs a gearbox.

Finance, EMI and buying a used Avanza with no down payment

Most Avanzas change hands for cash, and a private seller will assume that is how you are paying. If a loan is part of the plan, the first thing a bank looks at on a car this cheap is how old it will be when the last instalment falls due, and the older fleet cars fall outside that limit. The application goes to Emirates NBD through our arrangement, and buyers who meet the bank's eligibility rules normally hear back inside 24 hours. Having that answer before you view means you can agree a price at the car.

No down payment deals exist on the younger Avanzas, arranged by a dealer through a bank it already works with, and they are never printed on the advert. Raise it before you visit and ask for the terms on paper. A private seller has no bank behind them and cannot offer it, and a car bound for export sits outside any of this because no lender is involved.

Paperwork to transfer a used Avanza into your name

Start with who the Mulkiya is in the name of, because an ex fleet Avanza is often still registered to the company that ran it, and the company's paperwork has to come to the RTA counter along with the seller's identification and yours.

• Insurance has to be running in your name on the day, and all fines on the car have to be paid before the appointment can be booked.
• On an older car the annual test may also be due, in which case the car passes its inspection first and the transfer follows, so ask when it was last tested.
• Finance on an Avanza is unusual but it turns up on the late cars.
• Where it does, the seller's bank issues a liability letter with the balance owed, the balance is settled, and a clearance certificate follows before the RTA will move the car into your name.
• Ask the question early, because that step is the one that adds days.
