Vehicle Registration transfer
Hello QLs,
Good morning. I'm new in Doha and intending to buy a vehicle. Now, I've found one and I have a couple of questions and hope all you experienced Doha ppl could offer some advice.
1. The seller asked for a non-refundable deposit of QAR 7,000. The guy seems genuine. Do u think it is wise of me to pay it and reserve the vehicle ?
2. Can you transfer the ownership of the vehicle on the same day? What is the transfer process? I have NO idea.
Thanks !
Thank you everyone for the help ! I took a risk by paying a deposit and fortunately it turned out ok for me. Got my vehicle yesterday morning !
It is okay to pay token money, however, please confirm the person you are dealing with is the car owner and take copies of both car registration and personal ID on a paper and get it documented on the same paper and get it signed.
P.S.. be wise if it involves with the money. The proper way is my suggestion
pls don't give your money to that guy. If you like the car go meet him in moroor where you can transfer the ownership of the car and after that you can hand over him the money. OK????
Too risky.
If you can pay it then take it.
If he is real and honest, he wouldn't accept a nonrefundable deposit rather he will offer it to the first one who has the full amount to buy it.
transfer process is a 10 minute job if you are buying in cash not finance. Just take your Q ID to the typist (available at the traffic) along with the car reg card.
He will type an application and attach it with copies of seller and buyer ID. take it inside to the customer service, 4 minutes they will do the transfer for you. you will pay transfer fees 200 riyals by card only.
What model year and car is it and how much are you paying? Just confirming cos I dont want anyone to be cheated.
it depends, For what value of car is he asking 7,000 deposit? As a trader, I usually accept 3,000 deposit for cars worth above 150,000
But more importantly why do you pay a deposit, if you like the car just ask him to come to the traffic and transfer and take complete money.
IFF paying the deposit is inevitable, write a PSU, photocopy his Qatari ID on that PSU, and take an undertaking from him that I Ahmad have received 7,000 deposit towards the sale of Honda Accord plate number 2013, balance 35,000 to be paid upon transfer, and signatures.
Have you checked the car in technical check before? Make sure you check the car before buying. If you need more guidance with the technical check PM me
better you pay it during tranfer of registration inside the police station otherwise is not safe.
