Dealerships come in different sizes. For example, in Nigeria, we have dealers who operate by the side of the road and the cars they sell are exposed to different weather conditions. We also have bigger dealers like Coscharis and Elizade who own proper showrooms and keep only used cars outside.

There’s a dealership in Dubai that has caught our attention due to the kind of cars they sell. They only sell supercars like the Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and very rare cars.
World Craziest Dealership
This dealership is called ‘First Motors’ and they are located in Dubai, Arab Emirates. They’ve been operational for just seven months, yet they have been able to stock up on these really rare cars and they are doing so well.
How Did They Start?
First Motors started out as a hobby. The owners just loved supercars and they had a few themselves from there, they decided to start a dealership. It took three months for them to set up the showroom and the sum of 1.5 million AED was spent on just the lighting in the showroom. The lights give the place a special effect as you may feel slightly ‘intimidated’ when you walk in.
Apart from the showroom, they also have a technical area, in-house mechanics, a polishing area, and a car wash facility amongst others. Also, business has been so good that they are actually expanding. They are clearing out the top floor so they can sell used cars there.
How Do They Acquire These Cars?
As earlier stated, they sell really rare cars which are hard to find. Cars that are limited editions, just 10 units made, etc.
First Motors have a few major dealers and sources they work with abroad. They also work with private collectors because you can’t purchase some of these new cars if you do not own the older models. So they collaborate with these collectors who can buy newer models.
First Motors boast about having very rare cars that are not available in other dealerships around the world. They also added that their prices are cheaper than what is applicable in Europe.
While supercars are not so common in Europe and America, in Dubai, supercars are quite common because the people in Dubai love to show off their wealth and Dubai is one of the safest places in the world.
CONCLUSION
If you want to buy a supercar, we highly recommend that you get it from an authorised dealer so the quality is guaranteed. You can also make the purchase from a collector.
