Monthly price of a car?

My wife and I will be moving to Qatar in August to start a teaching contract. We will be located in Al Khor (anyone living in Al Khor, I'd love to talk more with you) and will have a combined 2400 QR transportation allowance. I'm debating rental/lease versus buying a car when we get there. We don't need a big vehicle (we're used to a Nissan Sentra) and like to have good gas mileage, though with the price of fuel there it doesn't seem to be as big an issue. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to post what they pay per month for their cars? Either what they are paying monthly on a loan with plans to sell if leaving Qatar or renting. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. We would be putting little or no money down on it.

 

Thanks!

If your stay is longer, say 2 years, then buying a car is better, otherwise rental is fine too.

Monthly Price of a Car on Loan can range from 1000QR/- (Lancer or a Tiida (or even lesser) ) to QR 1500/- (for a decent 4WD)...that should give you a better picture...

 

Cheers buddy and welcome to Qatar...

 

Take care...
