I guess you heard the same as I had which is basically big car big family, but a friend of ours last time we were here had bought 2 on single status so either it doesn't matter or there are ways around it, hopefully someone with a real answer gets back to you about it, but definately it is possible ...  to be fair pretty much anything is possible here ;)

I agree cent percent with Louise.Welge. Legally speaking you can by an SUV in KSA only if you have a family status visa or family with you. However, I have seen people having an SUV on single status also. This clearly shows that there are some ways to own an SUV in any case. :)

Good Luck.

For sure, there are ways round it (like a 'wasta' or something)...
but probably for some (singles), the SUV is under company's name...

By law, you can buy an SUV only if you prove you have a family, but the agent/office/car dealer you are buying from/through can manage to transfer the SUV property papers to a single person's name for around SR500-700. My brother bought an SUV a week ago, and that how it went.

and you dont have to pay the dealer either.. just go to the smaller dealerships in town for the smae vehicle. they are more likely to ignore some of the superficial rules.. ;)

In every country the price depends on year condition milage model so a 2 seater  merc is fairly vague where ever you are
