I am buying a second hand car from Cyprus and they are shipping it here with the police clearance from Cyprus. I just would like to know whether i need something from customs, MOI or any government facility here before i can register it to my name.
Avoid this, there are at least two ads in QL for cars like this, for the fun of it I kept emailing the guy who uses a Western Expat name, when he said the car is not registered in Cyprus I.e. has no title I knew it was a scam. Also their insistence on using the shipping company was another tell, I've brought cars from the US before and the process is straight forward, but unless you have the title then good luck. Be careful people...
Hi, pay attention to importing, these are most likely scams, usual blather about moving, money wrong side of the road..............if its too good to be true, generally it isnt, best of luck
My sincere advice is do not buy it. My friend lost money in one of this advertisement.This is a scam email.

Hello Brother,
Thank you for your interest in my car 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged (Left Hand Drive).
I was recently redeployed to Cyprus and after i arrived i realised the driving system here is RHD (Right Hand Drive)
so it will be irrelevant for me and inconvenient to drive or sell it here, so this is the reason I put the price very low so that I can sell it off as soon as possible,
the car is in perfect condition, accident free, no mechanical problem and clean just like as it is in the site where you contacted me.
The Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged is $19,000 USD. My wife also have a 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser for sale at an affordable price of $15,000 USD, its also in an excellent condition just like the Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged.
Find attached pictures of the Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser and also let me know if you may also be interested in the I can send you the details too.
Due to the nature of my job, I would prefer you deal with the shipping company who brought the car to Cyprus about the payment and shipping to you. I will also give them the police clearance before handing over the car to them.
Also know that there is nothing to loose since you are going to pay for the car and the shipment to shipping company, when the car arrive to you is when you can authorize the shipping company to pay me the money for the car and if you don't like the car, the shipping company will refund your money back to you while I take care of the total expenses incurred. Also send me your contact phone number.
Therefore, I am going to contact with the shipping company and get back to you with their contact details so you can contact them about the payment and shipping.
Better than calling Police, please call the Qatari Customs, I have experience in that already. If the car is older than XX number of years, they will not allow it.

Thanks for the reply. It is 2010 model, so I presume it's only 3 years or below.

Better check with the traffic police( Better meet the captain). You may get the car into Qatar but it might not registered for road usage in Qatar.
Don't quote me on this.
