Buying a used car
Hi there! First of all, I did a bit of search beforehand here, and I can't seem to find what I need, so please, don't answer with "try searching before", because I did.
My question is to anyone who'd bought a used car. WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW when buying a used car personally (not through agency, dealership, anything). What do I need to do as the buyer??
Thank you so much for your information!
Simple and easy to transfer the car in you name. All you need is the insurance to be transferred to your name and your ID copy and a form which can be filled by the Typist at the insurance counter and a revenue stamp. With these documents go to the traffic counter and voila the car is in your name. If you feel it is daunting, the typist/agent will do it for you for a small amount of QR 100/-
Thank you so much for taking the time! We've made up our minds with a LR3 2008, we're going to go with the current owner to get it valued, and we've seen and test-driven it and everything is perfect on that side. We want to know what to do now!! Paperwork? Traffic department visits?

thank you again!
I did a personal check on used cars a lot for at least 2 months however I was not satisfied... I took a fair bit of advice from some local people here... But first of all there is no such rule or steps to follow... A used car always comes with a lot of risk... U may not get the right or complete history when going for a personal dealing... Unless you have some good source to verify the condition of the car... There are places in the Industrial area where you can get the car checked... This is very important... The lesser the mileage done on the car the lesser chance it has to be mal-handled... And I was always told by the locals to buy something which has good resale value... Like Toyota, Honda etc.. But the point is y to buy a used car when one can get a good new car with good monthly installments...!!! I am not sure which car you are exactly looking for coz that changes the view... Like e.g. a person looking to buy a BMW should look for a 2 yr old car max ... Coz BMWs usually come with a free servicing for the first 5 yrs (max)...
All the best ...
