Hi All ,
I've been renting a car for 3 months since my work visa is not yet issued.Anyway the thing is that i decided to buy a car on my dad's iqama and he will do a letter of attorney for me. i have an Internationale driving license ?
he asked if this is doable and he has been told YES.
on the other hand do you guys recommend any specific car. I'm not planning to pay a big amount on a car and i will definitely buy a brand new car.
Which one is better in term of Power(for AC)and security : Hyundai ? kia ? toyota ? .....
will appreciate your feedbacks on the two above ideas
Thanks,
Buying a car

Will purely depend on the condition of the car !!

Another plus point of Toyota is when you re-sell it, the value will not drop like many American cars.
And price will vary considerably.
I would recommend a Toyota Elantra, the down payment is not so much - 6000 or so and then you can pay monthly around 1000 Riyaals.

@TH.. u mean the hyundai elantra.. 
and then @GDF: you should check into the international license thing. From what I have heard. you can drive for around 1 year or so, but after that you will have to get the saudi License.
and yeah toyotas are good, hondas are pretty decent as well.
