The new rides

I've got good news and a bad news, the good news is we finally got our big wheels. But the bad news is, it's not the car that Myra approved of. While waiting for the final paper of our car, she's busy checking out her fantasy toys; yup... Memang high taste!

One obvious changes in Qatar is the process involves in buying car. Last I could remember, I settled everything in a day, one day! UNO! No kidding! But now, the bank seems too strict! They'll collect just about anything about you, well, I don't blame them.. they are just playing safe after too many cases of expats litterally flew off leaving their debt(s) and then never heard of anymore . Yeah..bunch of irresponsible people, who then make honest-good people like us, suffer the consequences. (chewahh). Anyway, since we've settled ours, I tot I should share some tips in case any newbies are also looking to buy a car in Qatar (like they gonna read my post? kekekeke..anyway, just in case);

1. The bigger the better (not to show off, but due to the geography condition, plus the psycho-maniac drivers around would mean a much safer journey in ur big wheel.. specially to people with family, trust me on this.. banyak dah orang nasihat! ;) Lagipun, since kat sini dah dekat nak gi Umrah/Haji by road, bleh la bawak kete pegi sendiri , insyaallah! Tak pun nak jalan2 tepi desert, pantai, memang lagi selesa n lebih sesuai laaa..

2. If you are on a budget, the 4WD memang quite costly, what we did, we look around for new car but with older model, we bought 2008 Trailblazer, so the price i think dropped as much as 20% of it's market value. Bile usha kete kat showroom tu, janganla segan nak tanye kalau-kalau die ade lagi old model of the same car, kadang2 memang ade, but in our case, the car bought from Oasis; a 2nd hand car dealer- but the car is new, 0 km. So, no need to worry about quality kete and all, it is still under full warranty ;)

3. Prepare all papers before proceeding with your car loan, the usual document needed are your id, passport copy with the RP page, driving license, No objection letter from your sponsor. Then, if you are using different bank loan than the one you got ur salary with, you better prepare some cheque books and bank statements too... oh well.. this things the dealer should have told you pun, (tapi just in case, like us, the dealer tertinggal bab nak dapatkan no-objection letter, menyebabkan delay in getting the car! hampess)

Ermm.. ape lagi? tahla.. itu je saye ingat, sebabnye husband saye yang tukang beli kete this time, so I'm not directly involve, so tak brape ingat hehehe.. okla.. to those who are still doing car-hunting, very good luck to you! Me gonna sleep now.. zzZZzzz.. oh yeah, before i forgot, this is our 'otobot'.. niteeeee otobot, jangan transform memalam ni tau! hiks~
