A Camry would be better in the long run and will save you fuel.

The Camry without second thoughts!

Top 3 Reasons:
- Reliable
- Reliable
- Reliable

:)

In addition, its cheap to service and fix! Great resale value.

The caprice is more luxurious, but the engine is bigger which means higher fuel consumption. Also, it starts having trouble as soon as the warranty mileage is over.

The litmus test I normally use to check car reliability is to ask the Taxi driver on what he thinks about the car he drives. Most drive Camry, and they love it. They drive the car in 2 12 hours shifts, i.e. 24 hours a day, and this car only goes back for normal oil, and tire, brakes service. These taxis do about 20,000-30,000 km per month.
The cab drivers driving Chevys or Fords curse those cars, as after 3-4 months they start breaking down.

WHere to find?
Well, this site is a good way to find whats available on the market. You could always go to the dealers directly, but its always cheaper to buy off a private seller who has taken well care of it. Just to remember, second hand Camrys sell off fast. If you see an ad, it will be gone within a few days if its priced at the normal market rate.

Search on this site, you'll get the loads of results. Best place to search for used cars in the UAE :)
Don't go for US spec, go for GCC.

GCC specs! Unless you get a great bargain on US specs.
You can always go to showrooms like Al Futtaims Automall. They sell a lot of used Toyotas as Al Futtaim is the official dealer of Toyota here as well.
However, their prices are in my opinion not really a bargain. They do have clean, checked-up cars with warranty though.
