Very hard to diagnose from here, sounds like the starter from your description.

I would agree it is the starter . being in a location of much grit/sand blowing about this gets into the components.

If I were you , buy a Mercedes . these are made for your region , will take the abuse of the environment.

these new style caprice vehicles are not available here in the USA. 1996 was the last year .

It is available here - as the Chevrolet SS. -Or- the Caprice PPV (officially for police but some dealerships will sell to the public).

The Caprice PPV does have a longer wheelbase than the SS does (Holden Caprice / Holden Commodore respectively).

I agree with the advice given above, it is probably the starter. But I would suggest you first check the condition of the battery, (quick and easy voltage check, and preferably a load test to determine the current output capacity). A weak battery will often first show the same symptoms as a failing starter, since that component requires more current than any other.
