    I might be moving to Saudi later this year. Not 100% yet, but a strong possibility. Anyway I was wondering if anyone can point me to a good website that sells Fcars. Either that or any garages that are worth checking in with. Thanks.

    Jeddah, although I have lived in Riyadh previously. Any place to find cars in Saudi is good.

    My work takes me around the world u narrow minded piece of $hite. I've lived there before so its no big deal.

    If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. What you said me and the other guy was totally out of order.

    Very few f cars are being sold in Saudi. Historically, it's been 10-15 cars per year in Jeddah.

    However, the ex-rally champion, Mamdouh Khayyat, has moved from Porsche to head Ferrari Saudi Arabia. He's vowing to turn things around and has a quota of 50 cars per year.

    Biggest problem with Ferrari is maintenance. I was quoted $19,000 for the 25,000 km belt service of a 2000 F550 Maranello manual. In comparison, my 997 C2S costs peanuts!

    That is insane! It would be cheaper to fly the car out and get the work done. Do you know if there is any import duty if I import from Kuwait or UAE?

    Hey thanks for that. Congrats on the 430.

    The car i am looking at is a 2001 car so I will have to pay tax. Any ideas how much tax to import?

    Also the car is in Kuwait at the moment and Im thinking of driving it to Jeddah. How long will it take to drive, and more importantly is the drive safe? If i break down will I survive? :)

    the tax is around 5 - 10% and it's not worth it to drive the car because of 2 reasons 1st it's not fun drive there for 12 hours and the only thing you see is sand ( most of the time) 2nd to ship the car from east to west does not cost that much there

    Thanks for that. I forget that watching sand for 12 hours can be boring, even in a Ferrari!

    £26K

    £31.5K

    and £23.6K

    With negotiation might not be bad. That is of course the cars are A1 or else seems expensive. Are you selling these or have you seen them for sale?

    I will be in Jeddah in 3 weeks.

    Thanks. Adnaan

    Hi Adnaan,
    The Testarossa belongs to a friend & the other two are in show rooms. Actually I might buy the 550 if the dealers inspection doesn't carry any bad news. Give me a PM once you settle in Jeddah.
    Regards.
