Good day guys!

I just passed the driving exam and got my license. I was wondering if you have any tips regarding buying a car here in Oman. This is my 1st time to buy a car and I don't know where to start. I'm looking for a 2nd hand small sedan or a hatchback.

What are you guys driving now? Are you satisfied?
What has good A/C?
What brand and model is best here in terms of Maintenance service?
What brand has cheap parts that are always available?
Do you guys can recommend a insurance with comprehensive coverage?

Hi EZcomputer,

You can also work backwards with regards to your car hunt.

Suggest you first fix your budget.

Then visit the leading 'pre-used car' dealers attached to large automotive dealerships.

Japanese brands are considered to be more reliable than the Korean / Chinese ones, especially if you are looking at a used vehicle.

Also it would be better for you to go through a reputed / reliable source, with some assured service, parts and maintenance support.

Good luck.

Hi,

Thank you for your offer. The price is tempting but I am looking for car model 2010 and above. I live in Al Khoud by the way.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I am leaning towards Toyota Yaris and Hyundai Accent. Both priced around 2-3k which is in my budget. I'm guessing Toyota parts are easy to come by here and the Accent has a nice interior.

Hi friends!
I just downloaded OLX Arabia app. Its nice that it shows many ads from Batinah/ Sohar region (where I live) when compared to Yalla motors web site. My budget is OMR 2500 to 3000.
My queries are:
Should I get a mechanic to inspect the car before buying?
Will there be any problem if I buy Dubai-registered cars? How often is registration renewed?

Better to go to a famous seller of second hand cars. It might be 200 rial more but its safe.There are lot of scams associated with second hand sales

So its just around 200 omr more? That's nice cuz you dont need to go and do the paperwork and you can have financing.
