Well, there's really not that much to be worried about other than it might have a dodgy history that you don't have a way to find out.
Most foreign imports do not have the right radiator/cooling systems needed for the weather here. But that is normally a AED 300 job to get fixed and loads of workshops do that.
The other thing to think about is the AC, and if its heavy-duty for the summers here. This can be slightly more expensive to fix.
If the car you are importing is from the southern US states, its probably coming from a pretty similar climate and the AC should be fine at least.
What else...resale, I guess it has slightly lower resale than a GCC model for exactly the same reasons above and as you finding it cheaper also to buy.
