Buying A Personal Car
By junandlarz1616 •
I am planning to purchase my own car and will buy a second hand unit on Cash Basis.
Being an expat how should i go with the process.
Do i still need to get a letter from my employer allowing me to purchase my personal Car.
Appreciate much to anyone that could give me some ideas and Feedback.
Thank you
We too have a secondhand car..first thing we did was, request an NOC from our sponsor since this was needed when we had the process of car transfer, photocopies of ID's...Just make sure the car you are buying is in very good condition and the insurance or Istimara are valid for another (3-6 mos), 1 year is better. That way you have ample time to have it check or no more cash are going out of your pocket for repair. One more thing..check if the car has any traffic violation before the transfer that way the first owner will pay it..on our case we just found out day after that the car has violation on the same day we got the car...too bad for us( we tried to request for photo) to check if it's really our car but the police can't present any proof cause it's a parking violation and it's the mobile police who noted it. We paid it & we don't want to argue anymore..just had it on the wrong time;the violation was made in a place we never visited and the owner of the car already left the country. Anyway goodluck on your new car.
letter from Employer and Qatari ID card
1. Select a car of ur choice.
2. Take it to computer checking.
3. Once u r satisfied with the test, negotiate the price.
4. Go to Muroor with the letter from ur sponsor, Id card, QR250 and the owner of the car, to transfer it to ur name.
Take an ATM or credit card as they don't accept cash.
Muroor has typing centre, where u will type the form in arabic, with ur details and cars.
U need an NOC from ur sponsor, even if u have a driving licence.
If you have driving liciense,you can purchase cars without any letter from your sponsor.To get the liciense you already have got the letter to submit in the driving school,now u r entitled to own a car,go ahead,wish you all the best.
