Hi,

I just arrived in Doha and am looking for a good Cost effective and easily maintanable car ... After going through the forums I came to realize that most people are advising to go for a Toyota corolla.

I was hoping if anybody else can advise whether I am on the right path or not. Also was hoping if someeone could tell me what I should look for as in "MODEL YEAR" or "KILOMETRE" that the car has travelled for.

I have a minimal budget(30K) and am searching for a used car that could work easy for a good 4 or 5 yrs.

Thanks in advance

FIX THE DEAL FIRST ...THAN go for complete/full inspection which will cost QAR250 in GERMAN CAR on Salwaroad...once inspected complete report will be provided which includes engine capacity%,mileage,colour,major-minor faults...

Yes car dealers allow you to take car for inspection but most of the time the cars having with them already inspected...

Address: Salwa Road (GERMAN CAR CENTRE) u can say front/otherside of QUALITY HYPER MARKET...

when u like a car, check every thing, negotiate the price some how, then for the final test mean for the inspection, where you can check whether there is any major or minor accident, even you can check completely.. hey one thing more don't forget to check the registration.. try for the one whose renewal have at least 8 months to go.. and yup every one allow to inspect the car by any inspection center..

Go to German Car Inspection Centre, Salwa Road Near Ain Khalid R/A. Cost is about Qr.150-200 only. They will provise you a detailed report/history. Or else there are lot of Inspection Centres on both side of Salwa Road after Azzizia R/A towards Bu Samra

You are on a proper/right path...Toyota Camry or Corolla 07

Before buying make sure about the Mileage,Original paint/Colour...and to take car for inspection on SALWA ROAD (GERMAN CAR OR NEW WORLD) for complete checkup...Once inspected by them they will give you report which will show all the faults.

Gudluck....and welcome to QATAR...

there are alot ov inspection centers where you can check any car, you are interested to buy.

and u are on a proper path, best option in sedans is corolla, and check qatarsale.com, here u will know about the price and model, they also mention the milage, once your find car, just call upon the number and fix meeting and check the car and then go for the rest.
