Used car parts in the UAE typically sell for AED 99 to AED 2,000 (about $27 to $540). Parts sell well when they are correctly identified, and the part number matters far more than the description.

Selling car parts in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- List every vehicle model and year it fits
- Photograph all mating surfaces and mounting points
Getting it ready
- Find the part number stamped or labelled on the component and photograph it. That number is the entire listing.
- Note the donor vehicle: make, model, year, engine and trim, plus mileage for wear items.
Photograph
- The part number and any manufacturer marking, legible
- All mating faces, threads and connectors
- Any damage, corrosion, wear or missing fixing
Put in the description
- Part number and manufacturer
- Donor vehicle make, model, year, engine and mileage
- Condition, and whether it was removed working or from a damaged vehicle
Weigh before quoting; parts are dense. Drain any fluid, and never post an airbag or pretensioner — they are classed as dangerous goods. Keep a record of the donor vehicle for anything safety related.
Steady year round, and older or discontinued parts often sell better than new-model ones because there is no alternative source. Common serviceable parts sell within days.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,977 a buyer pays is the AED 1,977 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell car parts in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Was it working when removed?
Say honestly whether it came off a running vehicle or a damaged one, and whether you tested it. Untested is a perfectly acceptable description; implied working is not.
How should I list car parts?
By part number first, then the vehicles it fits. Buyers search by part number, and a listing without one is much harder to find.
Are used car parts worth selling?
Yes, particularly original manufacturer parts for common vehicles. The market is active because new parts are expensive.
