The long and short of it is that dealers are not allowed to sell cars here for export. The only way to do it is to have someone here buy the car and get it shipped to you without the dealer knowing.

Ummm no. If you asked for it "gulf spec" the dealer would kinda know it's going to be exported. He has to think it's staying in the states. They could lose their dealership if they knowingly aid in the export of a car. Unless, of course, you have some sort of connection with a dealership here (or offer a boatload of cash) that is willing to bend the rules for you. Still no chance of "gulf spec" (whatever that is).

im not sure about it but i think that the fuel system is different and the radiator is bigger with some different in the thermostats cuz the weather is very hot over here .. so it will be better if i ordered one with a gulf spec so ill be on the safe side with out problems with the engine and other stuff

No. For all I know, it may never be sold there.

It sounds like you're much better off getting it from the dealer. Even if you ordered it in the US now, you'd be waiting several months to get it. Then, you'd have to somehow arrange to have it shipped overseas and that would obviously take considerable time. And that would be after you found a dealer and a person in the US to do all this for you. It would be time consuming, expensive, and a logistical nightmare.
