@Red7, your best bet is to post your car on OLX or facebook groups.
Buying a new car
I have a Seat Leon 2016.
I really love it.
You should also check Volkswagen cars, they might be cheaper than you think.

Suzuki are having a very strong year in terms is sale due to vitara, sx4 and sx4, and so it is a brand that I would be confident in buying their cars.
No direct experience with swift, but my sister got the latest vitara and I was really impressed so this brand went up on my list.

The SEAT leon and the toledo are nice cars, you should check them out.

Thanks a lot, I study each suggestion.
I'm also kind of impressed when I see a Lebanese dealership with a decent website and including prices.

Seat, Volkswagen, Skoda etc (all brands from VW Group) usually have expensive parts and will require lots of maintenance when the car is 5-6 years old. Speaking from experience.
Seat reply to their facebook messages if you want :)Red7 wroteThanks a lot, I study each suggestion.

Thanks for the info Salloum.
Georges, good to know ! Chevy and Honda (Lebanese dealerships) answer quickly to mails. Suzuki didn't answer yet neither on Facebook or by mail. The owner is my neighbor, the irony.

you are better off calling the dealerships
My cousin recently bought a 2016 ford focus , its pretty nice for its price , and driving it is a blast as well , add to that the positive reviews from worldwide owners .

On my shortlist, thanks !
The 2017 Focus Trend is priced around $21,000 with registration (official numbers). It seems fair compared to the competition.

Wow, that's an old thread.
I'm looking for a new car these days (I don't mind getting a used one, a Rav4 or Crv/Pilot were my choices but I don't trust any Lebanese person selling a vehicle - sorry guys)
I narrowed it down to Skoda Scala (which is 20k + VAT(@15000) + registration(not sure how much) for a straightforward reason: Manual Handbrake. (All the other brands got them, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, etc...)
I've read tons of reviews about the Skoda but I would like to know if anyone in Lebanon has any experience with them?

Skodas are very good cars, however spare parts are more on the expensive side compared to say, Korean or Japanese vehicles. If I were you I'd find a good, clean car from abroad and import it myself.scorz wroteWow, that's an old thread.

I would second @Salloum advice, Lebanese car dealers has MASTERED the art of making a bad car look good. Unless you can buy a car from someone you know and trust, import a car yourself.
Thanks, guys.
My first choice was Toyota/Honda anyway, but I am not convinced electronic parking brakes are safe in the long run.
As for imports, I thought about it but with the current situation in the country I'm not sure how easy it will be + I have no idea how to do it.
Any idea if there are some kind of brokers in Lebanon that can be trusted to bid/import in my place?

Update: Got my eyes on a new Nissan sunny, it still has a manual handbrake which is great.
But not sure how reliable is it in Lebanon especially with the jouwar and all theses mountains roads
Edit: They have the damn EPS - I think I'll restore my old Buick Regal and screw all new cars.
Edit#2: It appears EPS is not "less safe" than hydraulics so it looks like the Nissan Sunny is good enough now

for jouwar, driving on sidewalk, light ofroad on mud and snow, passing through a flooded street, get an awd suv, thank god i have an suv because my car would be totaled long time ago.
What SUV do you have?mikasa wrotefor jouwar, driving on sidewalk, light ofroad on mud and snow, passing through a flooded street, get an awd suv, thank god i have an suv because my car would be totaled long time ago.

I think the Sunny uses Nissan's CVT - if that's the case stay as far away as you can. Nissan CVTs are known for failing and/or being a huge headache. Also I don't see what the problem is with an electronic handbrake, 99% of new cars have that. It just activates it electronically instead of your arm having to snag it into place.scorz wroteUpdate: Got my eyes on a new Nissan sunny, it still has a manual handbrake which is great.
