    Process for selling a motorcycle

    Once the agency has the money, they have no incentive to get the documentation in a timely manner. You have to withhold money. Thats what I did. I held back money and gave them 2 weeks, it was ready in one. They always wait until they have 3 or four together so they save money and time but...

    Business for sale or Partnership

    I see a lot of ads like that. They publish one foto of a house, usually a bad one, and state the house is for sale, thats it. No price , location, beds, baths nothing. Then at the ad they say if you aren't interested dont waste my time.

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    Not too many years ago, 3 or 4 years ago the water was right up to the ramp at the bottom of the parking lot. I remember the entire beach was close to 100 feet closer than today.

    Electric motorcycles

    Too bad nobody knows how to repair them. My little scooter broke down. I called a guy who looked at it and turned to me and said yep it won't go and left and yes he wanted me to pay him. I asked the delivery guys who drive them and they said I have to go to Santiago. So the little bike just sits...

    Marbete-time is almost here!

    We are going off the topic so I will try to steer it back. When I was younger in Ontario canada the license plate renewal was the same for everyone, end of February I think. Just like Dominicans the lineups would be blocks long at the local MTO offices. Putting off paying the government is...

    Non weekend getaway

    The booking company was very prompt in their reply. Since it is an American regerstered site and paid in US dollars that it is only for Americans ( no mention of Canadians) any one else may be charged a supplement at the hotel.

    for sale Ford escape SE Eco Booster 2014

    I was very interested in buying a used escape. Three engines were available 1.6L turbo, 2.0L eco boost, and 2.5 normally aspirated. The first 2 almost always led to problems with the engine and transmission problems. Just didnt mate well. I looked for the 2.5 liter but couldn't find one at the time.
