Who are we?

In addition to being a law firm with more than 25 years of experience and for more than three years in Dubai, we also have more than 10 years of experience in buying and selling vehicles in Spain. We started our operations in Germany, but due to increased competition and decreased profitability in recent years, we made the strategic decision to expand into new markets.

Currently, we operate primarily in the United Arab Emirates, a dynamic market that offers us ample opportunities for growth. Here we continue to provide our customers with an exceptional experience in buying and selling vehicles, backed by our experience and commitment.

We Are Present 365 days a year both in the United Arab Emirates and in Spain. We currently manage the sale of more than 40 vehicles per month in Spain and Germany, in addition to actively importing vehicles from Dubai, both for our customers and for our own inventory.

We don't sell you cars; we specialize in helping you import vehicles cost-effectively and affordably. We manage the entire export, for you to do business.

Why the United Arab Emirates market?

We opted for the United Arab Emirates market by identifying a wide range of vehicles, both American and European, that provide excellent opportunities for profitability. We started exploring this market more than three years ago, although our export service has been operating for less than a year. The reason behind this preparation time was our market research, which confirmed the profitable export potential of a large number of vehicles, which we will dive into later.

Most of these vehicles come from the United States and have generally been repossessed or have suffered some type of minor or repairable damage. Our selection focuses on vehicles with minimal damage, thus ensuring optimal quality-price ratio for our customers.

The UAE automotive market offers great potential, but requires an impeccable approval process. Any failure at this stage could mean that the vehicle arrives in Spain, but it is not suitable for use. For this reason, it is essential to have professionals with experience in approval and import management.

At Gestoria Ibérica, we advise you and manage the entire process so that you don't have problems. In the next sections of the blog, we'll share some success stories of exported vehicles to illustrate our commitment to excellence.

What Services Do We Offer You?

Our services are divided into two parts, one before and the other after the purchase of the vehicle.

Note: At all times of these services, the vehicle will be in your name, so throughout the process it will be yours.

Export Costs

To begin the export process, the cost of the service must be paid depending on the level of management required:

Complete management: 6,500€ per vehicle, including all procedures in Dubai and Spain.

Half Management (Spain or Dubai only): €3,250 per vehicle.

For luxury vehicles, we apply a personalized rate due to the greater complexity and requirement of import and approval procedures. These prices apply only when the purchase cost of the vehicle in Dubai is a maximum of €25,000 (100,000 AED). Any case that exceeds this figure is evaluated individually to provide a proposal appropriate to your requirements.

Important things to consider!

The mentioned price covers only the fees for managing the export process, it DOES NOT include the total costs of the service, which includes the costs of acquiring and transporting the vehicle, among others.

The estimated total cost, including our management fees and all associated expenses, is around €30,000. We recommend having this budget to ensure the viability of the entire process and avoid potential setbacks.

Time of arrival

The estimated time for the vehicle to arrive in Spain and be ready for use, from the moment the payment is made, is 45 to 60 days, that is, between one and a half and two months.

Vehicle Profitability

One of the main reasons for choosing the United Arab Emirates market is the high profitability it offers, especially in American vehicles, which are usually found at considerably lower prices than in Spain.

In Iberian Management Office, we guarantee our customers a Minimum return of 20%. If a vehicle does not reach this margin, we do not proceed with management. In most cases, however, profitability is between 40% and 50%, and on special occasions it can reach the 100%.

This potential for profitability is the key reason why we have entered this market, as it offers exceptional opportunities for our customers. Below, we share some examples of vehicles and their respective profitability.

Export examples

Here are five examples of vehicles that have proven to be cost-effective for export from Dubai to Spain. Although these models stand out for their cost-effectiveness, there are many other options in the market that can offer similar benefits.

2018 Camaro SS V8

This 2018 Camaro SS V8 was imported to Spain at a total cost of 35,000€, including all management, approval and registration costs.

The vehicle is currently sold in the Spanish market for 55,000€, generating a benefit of 20,000€, which represents a return of more than 35%.

2018 Mustang Super Snake

The 2018 Mustang Super Snake is an exclusive, special-edition model that is very difficult to find on the market. The total cost of importing it into Spain, including our management, approval and registration, was 36,000€.

Currently, there are no similar vehicles available in the Spanish market, which significantly increases their value. In Spain, the Mustang Super Snake can be sold for a minimum price of 63,000€, with a potential for profitability of up to 100%, due to its rarity and demand. This represents a benefit of at least 27,000€, with the possibility of achieving an even greater profit.

2019 Range Rover 5.0 V8

The 2019 Range Rover 5.0 V8 is another example of a cost-effective import. The total cost of placing the vehicle on the Spanish market, including our management, approval and registration, amounts to 45,000€.
