To buy or to Rent

Hi All,

I am new to Qatar so i dont really know the cost of owning a car here. I currently rent a car for 1900 a month. Noticed that cars here are quite cheap but would like to know the costs of other things like insurance, registration and yearly fees if any.

Is maintenance reasonable and should i decide to sell would i be easy enough. I would be driving very frequently and would end up clocking lots of miles.

Would like to hear you comments. Should i buy or continue to rent ?

Buying is a lot cheaper. The rental companies make huge profits.
