Good morning dear DR.1 members!
I am a new member!
Thank you for all the valuable information and advice.
I have a question if permitted.
We were in Sosua two times and like it here despite some current crime-related issues. In the fall we are coming for two+ months for language study. We need some local tranasportation around Sosua.
Paying about $2000 rent for something like used Chevr Spark or Kia Picante seems stupid.
Used car prices here are shocking and quality and mileage of vehicles are questionable. So we do not want to buy locally for two months either.
So we decided to buy and bring a quality, proven, reliable vehicle with us from US and to sell it here after two months of light use. We are ready and prepared to go through Customs/port challenges and rip-off. We have a honest friend here to leave the car with her and to keep selling after our departure. We know that by law the car must be five years old or newer and without accident history.
In this regard we have a question for respected long time Dominican residents - What are five most popular/desirable cars/SUVs in this country? The ones that will be the fastest and easiest to sell at a fare price when we do not need it any longer?
Is 4x4 necessary here? Or 4x2 with high ground clearance will be enough?
Thank you very much in advance for care to share the important info and advice!
