1. Not true

2. I don't understand what you have written. Do you have US driving licence?? You have to have a Dubai licence in order to buy a car. You may however, rent one with a full licence and an International Driving Permit.

3. The cost will vary hugely depening on what you buy & from where, but I doubt prices are much different to what you would pay in the US. There is a big market in quality second hand goods. Note that most rentals do not include white goods in kitchens.
