New or used?

Really depending on a price. Under $1000 possibly?

Used.
Try messaging NanSanPedro. He is in Boca Chica.
I passed through there earlier today on my way home.

I bought a used Honda Cub in Nagua back in 2012 for 32,000 pesos.
Haven't priced them in a while but you should be able to find something
that runs well for $1,000 USD.

Just make sure you have Medical Insurance....

There are plenty of new Chinese pasolas for well under $1000. You can get a used Honda Lead or a PGO T-Rex for around $1000.

Many places have 'Repos' - repossessions from those who cannot pay their loans

Most of these are women, nad many have VERY low miles...
I have seen this first hand

If I was buying.... that would be it....

There are lots of places here and in Andres that sell them. I am a confirmed walker/guaguaer. I can point out the locations of the dealership but don't know squat about them.

Good point.

This. I'd never go for a passola, but a Honda Cub would be a much wiser decision. (Motorcycle rider for 40 yrs)

You should have stopped by for a beer, assuming it was after lunch.

i dont know anything about them either. i am still trying to figure out the best way to get around. Buying a car is not in a budget at the moment. You can’t drink beer now in a restaurant ....🤪😔

 

[VladFridlyand]

Good point.

Why medical insurance ?

how reliable they are? Any specific model you can recommend?

Incase you get run over.

The Chinese ones are known to have quite a few problems. Maybe with very light use you'll be ok. Definitely buy new if you buy Chinese. At least you'll have some kind of warranty. The Chinese ones are all pretty much the same - just have different cosmetics.

The Honda Lead is made in Japan and is very popular. You don't see many Yamaha pasolas, but they're good, too. The PGO T-Rex is made in Taiwan. Both are of a much higher quality and more reliable than the Chinese ones. I'd recommend those two if you buy used.
