I am a new poster,long time lurker,lol,and have a few questions concerning buying a car. I have been coming to the DR for ten years on short trips of a week or two,last year rented an apartment for five months,was in the DR off and on and this year I plan on spending six months continuously. I will be living just outside Sosua but I have spent a lot of time in Pto Pta as well.
I want to buy a car but am unsure of whether or not I am allowed to until I get my residency,I read on another website that I am not allowed to drive until I am outside my tourist visa/stamp. I was surprised to read this. It said that if I get into an accident I go straight to jail,eff that.
Assuming that I can drive legally with proper insurance etc,what do I need to get from the owner of the car that I buy and how do I register it and does anyone have a recommendation on insurance agencies. I thought that I read on this forum of people for hire that will do the dirty work for me,that would be great but I can not find that post for the life of me.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated,I promise to contribute wherever and whenever I can going forward.
Thanks,Tom0910
