Feel sorry for you! Some guy here did the same from Australia a few months ago. Wonder how he solved it.

So, these are your options:

1. Get it converted to a LHD. There are workshops that do this in Al-Awir. However, you need to check with the Police first if they'll allow it, as not all converted cars can be registered here.

2. Export back the car to UK, and sell it there.

3. Sell it to one of the RHD dealers in Al-Awir. There is a large RHD market, for export to countries with RHD - primarily Pakistan, India, Africa. However, your QX is not a very sought-after vehicle, and the dealers will really pay you peanuts also knowing your situation. Plus with current fuel prices, appetite for large fuel guzzlers is low these days.

4. Advertise it here, and hope someone from a country where these cars can be imported sees it and contacts you. Again they will expect it to go cheaper than the market rate for them to buy off you.


I would look at option 2 first, specially if you can save on the import duties, etc.

Didn't anyone advise you about this problem in UK before coming here? The transport company should've known this.

That's gotta suck! Like root said, didn't you give LHD/RHD a thought?

Yousaf!

Welcome to the forums!
Kindly create a new topic for new discussions rather than posting into an old discussion of totally different nature.
