Buying a Car

Only residents can buy cars in Qatar. Cars are quite affordable as they are imported duty free. Both the new and used car market in Qatar is huge, the number of expatriates living in Qatar contribute considerably to this market. Salwa road has many used car dealers and is the most popular.

Negotiation on your part will most certainly land you a good deal and as always, check for the manufacturer's guarantee. All it takes to transfer the ownership is for yourself and the current owner to go to the traffic department together and complete the required paperwork.
