Hi All.
My spouse and I we bought an appartment in cabarete and our papers (residentia) will be ready in june. We want to buy a new car (Magna, hyundai) and I have some questions:
- I can pay by a bank cheque ?
- Downpayment of 10% if car is not in showroom ?
- I need insurance papers before picking up the car ?
- Magna will handle admin. for license plate and matricula ?
- I need a revista sticker after 2 - 3 - 4 years ?

Thank you very much for your help !

Hi Hiram! Remember that your (overseas) drivers lic. becomes invalid after 90 days so your Dominican insurance policy is then worth "diddely".... regardless of what your ins. agent tells you now. Do a search here to see previous writeups. Canadian Bob

Hi Canadian Bob !
Yep, I know, I will extend my tourist card until I have my residencia, so my drivers lic will be valid until I have my papers. Thank you for your thoughts!
