good morning how do i register a scooter in dr
Safe bet is buy new unless you have trusted contacts. Get them first if you must buy used. Don't even look until you have that contact unless you yourself are very knowledgeable. I've seen what these dealers do first hand. They buy here in USA at auctions; cars that dealerships her don't want i.e. very high mileage. They will paint them there and replace seat coverings but there's only so much they can hide. And with other wear I've seen, they often roll back mileage. Many I saw had been in an accident.
My 1st RD purchase was a low miles car with 6 months factory warranty left
I forget where I bought it
2nd was a used MUX Isuzu......medium miles.... bought at NdeC dealership
Neither car gave me trouble
Recent car was bought 'as new'..... 4,300kms, driven by owner of the dealership
Bought at Ochoa in STI.... a HUGE dealer.
Using Cruffman as your car concierge takes the legwork and guess work out of car buying.
I agree. Cruffman has helped many get vehicles. He knows the vehicles, the players and many of the tricks.
@saki_427nyc LOL. everyone is a mechanic of some kind in DR. Much easier there than USA.
Welcome to the forums. Just because they call themselves a mechanic does not mean they know what they are doing!

@planner
Hi. I was planning on buying a new car in the States and then having it shipped. Isn't this better than buying a used car in the D.R.?
Thanks for your advice.
Wendy
The import tax for a new car shipped in can be HUGE. Also, have you seen the crazy drivers in DR? No way I would drive a new car.
Car must be owned a year for non dealer imports. It will be valued based on prices here and you will pay the taxes plus shipping.
Thank you all for replying. Definitely something to think on!!!
@wndysgoodlife If you are getting your residency, you can get a break on the import tax on the vehicle, as well as paying no import duty on a container of personal/household items shipped in.
@ddmcghee
the allowance has to be utilized within the first six months of residency, or it is nullified
Wow! Sounds exactly like what I hoped. Really good info.! Thanks so much!
I'm trying to weigh options and am sort of nervous buying a used vehicle. Also concerned about a car I don't know that well breaking down.
I usually buy new and keep it forever. My car now is a 2005 Toyota Matrix. It'll be time for a new one in awhile. Those cars are so darn good!
