If anyone was planning to buy a new Porsche at the official dealership for the DR, you might have to wait a while. Depends if the owners pay the taxes they owe.


 At least the 'clausurado' signs on the windows look like those the government puts on businesses closed due to tax evasion.

Such a shame. That dealership often ranked number one in sales for Latin America relative to the market size.

Why, why, would anyone in their right mind buy a porsche in santo domingo?? The idea alone is stupefying. In GE, or UK, when you can get on the autobahn, or A4 and open it up; but Santo Domingo???

Do you really think a Porsche owner is worried about the roads in Santo Domingo?

Why do you think this person is buying a Porsche?

Damm. Just when I had the wife talked into a new GT4 Carrera. We were looking forward to destroying tires and wheels on potholes, ripping the whole under carriage out on broken asphalt and launching the thing off speed bumps.

I have two friends with newer Porsche spendy sports cars. They also have nice spendy BMW motersickels.

They get out in nice weather for cruises. There is a Porsche club that travels all around in packs staying at nice resorts.

What is wrong with a Cayenne? My Sil and her husband drive one. Never ever a problem. They are good quality reliable jeepetas.
If I could afford one in the campo ( zero possible maintenance ) that's mine...( after the RR ;))

Take the JEEP Hemi....Same HP and thrust.... less mtce , more reliable,

The service Manager at the Ferrari / Maserati dealership in Philadelphia steered me in that direction.

He quoted me new brakes at some HUGE number...

He was right........and saved me 000's...tens of them

Any controlled risks expert would advise against a high visibility vehicle in the DR.
Your better off in a decent brand with a more common nameplate.
Just stating the obvious.

If it's new great. But the price for parts is very high so if you can't afford new not a wise choice.

i notice that most of these cars depicted in the video are really late model iterations, with very few, if any, iconic older models. that leads me to wonder if this is really some nouveau riche display of purchasing power, as opposed to a genuine love of the craftsmanship of the marque.
