Which vehicle to buy

Hello Everyone - Moving to Doha in a month's time. Just wondering If someone could advise on vehicle selection. My budget is QAR 90000 & looking for a 7 seater. Any thumb rule to find if vehicle has been screwd in desert or otherwise? Any good websites? Aprox margin of negotiation on the listed price?

Do you plan on going off-road, or into the desert? If not, then there is no need for a 4x4. There is a place on Salwa Road where you can meet the would-be seller and have the car checked. Its called the German place - pretty well-known. It might cost 2-300 QR. No biggie for your peace of mind.

1) Qatar Sale website, you'll find a lot of cars there.

2) There are a couple of car check-up garages in Salwa Road, make sure you take it this before buying and do a full check up + get the chassis number and ask the dealer about its service history + accidents

3) How long are you going to keep the car?
