Finding a used convertible in Egypt

Locate the car before planning the visit

The most listed locations are Cairo, followed by Heliopolis and New Cairo. Ask for the actual meeting point before setting off, and confirm that the car will be available to view. If you arrange several visits, leave enough time to inspect each car without rushing to the next appointment.

Put an asking price in context

Used convertible prices in Egypt vary with age and upkeep, and the live figures on this page are sellers' asking prices rather than valuations. Compare cars of a similar model year, then look at the mileage and ask about condition and maintenance before judging a price gap. Ask the seller to explain the asking price in light of those details; don't treat a lower figure alone as a reason to choose a car.

The brands and mix behind the listings

Mercedes-Benz is the most listed brand, followed by Peugeot, and a few brands account for much of the stock. The models seen most are the 307, C180 and C200, in that order. Automatic cars make up the large majority, though manual cars also have a fair presence. Most listings are petrol, and model years range from older cars to recent ones. Private sellers account for the large majority of listings. Ask how long the seller has owned the car and what maintenance records you can see. At the viewing, open and close the roof more than once and look for damp or water marks on the carpets and headlining.
