Buying a used car in Egypt: compare ads and prepare for inspection
Start with comparable ads
On Bikyaa, choose Cars, then filter by make and governorate. Compare the same model, year and transmission, accounting for mileage, condition and equipment. An advertised asking price is not evidence of the final sale price.
Ask before travelling
Ask about maintenance, repairs, paintwork, previous owners and parts needing replacement. Request clear photos of the interior, odometer and exterior. Confirm that the photos and details describe the actual car offered.
Arrange an inspection
Meet somewhere safe in daylight and bring an independent technician you trust. Check the basic functions and agree an appropriate test drive with the seller. Include the engine, body, brakes, tyres and signs of leaks in the inspection.
Agree after checking
Review the other party's identity and vehicle documents, seeking professional help where needed. Clarify payment and handover arrangements before agreeing. Avoid deposits demanded under pressure simply to reserve an ad. Bikyaa helps you find sellers; inspection, agreements and payment are between the parties.
Cannot find the right car?
Post a Wanted request with your model, year, budget and governorate. Specific requirements help sellers send more relevant offers.
