If Mrs M catches a whiff of me doing this drawing, I will be dead meat.

Where to go? This is exactly what we're thinking of purchasing, and would have gladly bought it from you... a month from now. Darn!

When we arrived in Muscat, I went to ‘Best Cars’ which was more like a scrap yard than a car dealer. We were therefore forced to buy a new car.<br><br>If you’re arriving soon, it will be a good time to buy during Ramadan when there are lots of bargains and more haggling potential. Some of the main dealers (e.g. Toyota) are beginning to do certified used cars. Otherwise, you will probably get a used car from colleagues or their connections. Most supermarkets also have notice boards crammed with cars from ex-pats. It is not advisable to buy cars from the locals.Mr. Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16359413203368109934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444151975237762333.post-12946640617053374532010-07-30T17:53:57.493+00:002010-07-30T17:53:57.493+00:00I hadn't had time to check back here in ages, ...I hadn't had time to check back here in ages, but saw your replies this morning. Thank you! This is good info (on this & the pets). Especially about Best Cars - we had found them online. LOL<br><br>Hubby is one hour from landing in Muscat right now, and I'm still in Texas to deal with the movers & whatnot. I'm a nervous wreck, and excited, and terrified. I'll never get everything done. Oh, well.Domestiquettehttp://domestiquette.netnoreply@blogger.com
