Cur purchase -How can I trust people ?

I wanted to purchase a car from a Ad in Qatar living . He cliamed to be an Egypsian Doctor , name Dr Alaa ( Mobile 6100691) . He has a Toyota 2008 Corolla . We agreed a price and went to do the Computer check in the Salwa Road yesterday . I paid 200QR for the check . We then agreed that we will meet at 10-00AM tomorrow and do the transfer for insurance and registration . According to that I pulled the money from the Bank this morning . I tried to call him 3 times before my departure from my office but he didn't pick up the phone . I had a doubt in the mind . I called from a different number and then he picked up . Then he started telling all stories " I can't sell this car due to so many reasons.... ". I simply told him ," this is your car , you have every right not to sell this . But why did you not tell me in the morning and you told me after I called you ? I arranged all the money from the bank ". This is a big harrashment .

Now I have lost my hope of buying car from Qatar Living Ad and will be more careful in future . I am new in Qatar.

Dear,

This can not be considered as a special case. A normal case happends more often. He might changed his mind, it is okey as long as he didn't get advance from you.

Take it easy, don't blame "QL" blindly.

WOW SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOUR "QUESTION"

TO MAKE US AWER OR OTHER WAY TO MAKE OUR ATTENTION THAT YOU NEED CAR AND MAYBE MORE FRIENDS COZ (AS PER YOUR PROFILE) YOU ARE NEW CANADIAN IN DOHA

ANY WAY I CALL THE NUMBER HE DOSN'T ANSWER HOPE HE WILL TO TELL HIM TO GIVE YOU BACK YOUR MONEY- 200 QR

Right nobody shows off corola, let me tell you what happened to me around 6 months back...... i called one guy to enquire abt the car.... he told me its sold.

Same day after a couple of hours i asked a female collegue from office to call him up... he told her to come over and see the car.

some people are really strange!

You have FULL RIGHT to claim the Qrs 200 that you paid for the car inspection.

I don't think that its matter if you read ad in Qatarliving or anywhere else , people cheat every where , or maybe really its happened something with him

I don't think it is nice to publish his name and number in public you can solve problem by your self and (I am not defending him ,I feel sorry what happen to you) , but you can ask him to give you back 200 QR that you pay for check up. Good you don't pay any down-payment ,you still have your money .

Dear Frnd,

Its bad that after check up of the car u both agreed, nxt day he replied u that he will not sell the car its ok maybe he dosent want to sell the car maybe he change the mind or maybe its good for you maybe if you could have bought the car and in future you would have face problem with the same car, WHAT EVER HAPPEN IS FOR GOOD accept it dont blame others or this site QL have provided many people good service and people have reach where they cant..... i wish you best ofluck in future...

every_mothers_ : yeah, true, but in this case iam sure its not the case....what would he showoff in a corolla?! :D

this could happen from anywhere you wanna buy a car...even if you would have approached him from anywhere outside!!

Don't blame QL for this.

and why are you blaming QL for that jerks stupidity.

and if you have withdrawn money from your bank then its not that hard to deposit them back in your account.
