Buying a car in Dubai?

tumbo
By tumbo

Hello there.

After a lot of looking for a car in Doha, I have seen that they are cheaper in Dubai.

I would like to ask. Me, a non-qatari, but doha-resident and permanent work here. If I would like to buy a car in Dubai. What do I exactly have to pay?
I mean, fly to Dubai. Buy the car, then drive it back to Doha.
I have heard so many people saying different things. Some say "oh you have to pay 10 000 QR" and some people say "you dont pay nothing".

So, which is it?

P.S. I am looking to buy an Audi S8 -07.

again, I get different answers. :(

Let's say that the car costs 120 000 QR when I buy it.

You say it's 5% import duty to Doha, so it's 6000 QR. That is all?

What about registering the car with Qatar plates and all?

Thank you for any reply
