How much would a decent car cost in the middle-east?

In that case, I'd lease a small one. Make sure it has a diplomatic clause. Some teachers are EFL types which means you can be out on a whim. Military or ARAMCO?

Don't need the ball ache of an unreliable second hand motor, they don't last well in the sand.

Good luck

Used cars are. I think, generally more expensive than they would be in the Uk, they don't tend to depreciate as much / as quickly, so can set you back a bit for a decent one. Japanese motors are perhaps the most sought after / popular, but plenty of American motors available.

Leasing is a pretty good option too, if you do get potted at short notice, most times you will just be able to return the motor.
