Check this out: 6800 cars impounded that are not claimed in the last six months. Most of them from the Airports.
where did it say it's from the airports ?
this is usual here robbyG, we ( in our x department ) collect those cars around our city ( not Dubai ) for years now, it's part of cleaning the city from cars mostly in industrial areas with accidents where they are left in parking lots filled with dust or in a private parking where owners of parking complains that those cares does not belong to them , and mostly old cares that the owner leave some where cuz it won't pass the new environment laws, so they simply leave them somewhere ..... so we put a sticker on them and if no one clams them we sell them in auctions but only now ppl paid attention to such procures since the airport banded cars but it isn't new at all. It's just part of municipality and police regular procure that is done annually
But yes I would say most of them are from airports, stupid Dubai police they sold my classic car I stopped in Dubai for sale for one day and the other day they took it. RobbyG

viking-warrior Robbie - A Emirati friend of my parents, who is in a position to know puts the figure at over Double what you mention above. The fact that it happens all over the world is not news - the rest of the acknowledges that it happens, its when somewhere denies that it happens and everyone knows different that the story is of interest. As in:- Why deny it ? Chocoholic I'd love to go to see what they have on offer. Bet you could pick up some right bargins. rudeboy

u cant for normal cars. but u can for your luxury cars Chocoholic Hmmm really? I know that there are monthly auctions taking place of all sorts of stuff too. olivertwisted golden bell auctions ... in the classifieds. Im sure thered be some right bargains as you have to settle cash and theres no finance options. People with some loot might pick up some thing really worth while. Also when u look at the lists you l be anle to see that most of the cars are in the 2007-2009 range which i guess would be concurrent with runners sage & onion

This is a totally unsubstantiated rumour, whilst we all know that this has occurred in some fashion, to put a figure this high is beyond belief. desert surfer Cars will not be individually sold but will be sold in bulk to dealers. daym

uaebadoo 6800 are gone 68000 wish to come to UAE :P viking-warrior S&O - I have no intention of getting into this with you but MbB is a local - a high profile Emirati. Perhaps one day this information will come forward of its own accord, the number that comes from him is actually higher than I have suggested :) I would rather get my info from a government source than the Gulf News - your choice.
