Finding better option to buy SUV

Better go for second-hand car option with financing as if you lease a car and want to discontinue earlier then they charge you more money although not mentioned anywhere on the  agreement. On top agreement is only in arabic language thus expats are helpless.

I however then need to study this option (personal loan to buy on cash) further or may be you could explain it.

Thanks.

theek hai i think he meant to say, you take a personal bank loan of 300,000 riyals.  Then use part of that money to buy a brand new car (Mercedes Benz or BMW SUV, Landcruiser) or a used-car (sedan honda, nissan, mazda). 

SUV requirements are - you will show to the car dealer copies of iqama of your wife, children and yours. If you don't have family, settle for a sedan like BMW 740, Dodge charger, Ford Mustang etc.

Thanks Mannyd!

Soo you are not allowed to buy an SUV if you are single?

Last Thursday evening, I was in Honda shop inquiring about the CRV. They have Ramadan promo now.
One of the requirement asked from me is iqama copies of wife and children, which I don't have.
Most dealers will ask for these when registering in Muroor. As per their long experience dealing with Traffic Police and SUV customers, singles/bachelors can not get SUV.

But maybe you can try your luck. If you are bachelor and able to get SUV (jeep as the locals call these type of vehicles), do let us know.

Thanks Mannyd, yes I have also heard about such issue while purchasing SUVs. However I don't think it's a legal issue but rather local standard. Also, could you please tell us any ramadan offers while purchasing vehicles?
