Middle East folks!
Just moving to the region but are faced with an issue: if I buy a car in Dubai how easy it is to move it to Saudi later on? Is it worth the effort, or should I just prepare to sell and move on & buy a new one?

Not difficult, but you will need to pay a tax on the value of the car - 21.5%. Paperwork, transport, etc is all done for you if you want for like 500-1000 SAR depending on what you need.

However, depending on the car model you’ll be breakeven with saudi prices, and specs on GCC cars are usually better than Saudi specs.

FYI - there’s an ME consulting bowl that might be a better fit for these types of questions in the future :)

No problem!

something to note though - it’s very dependent on which car you get both from a cost and feasibility perspective- and some dealerships will refuse to service it past the mandatory 2 years warranty.

I know mercedes is one of those - you only get 2 years warranty, starting from the date of manufacture. After that it’s all third party workshops for repairs, or pay out the ass.

BMW is generally pretty good about this though. They adhere to the worldwide warranty and will accept global extensions.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
