Looking for an inexpensive used car
Looking in https://www.supercarros.com/buscar/...5000&PriceTo=575000&YearFrom=1970&YearTo=2024 i found nothing in Puerto Plata
If the OP's family member is looking for something good and cheap, my opinion is she can't go wrong with a Mira.
The Daihatsu Mira is the latest version of the Sirion. I bought a Sirion new in 2000 and had zero problems with it. Only maint. and oil changes.
I took good care of it, and it still looked like new when I sold it with a folder of maint. receipts.

Thanks all for your help with this. I was originally hoping somebody on here might have a good car to sell, but as I suspected, nobody has come forward. I decided that rather than trail around the dealers all over the country, I would call Mike Logan and he is now on the case. I found I still have his name in my phone contacts under "Gorgon Mike"!
A Daihatsu Mira? I've always had my doubts about three cylinder cars. I had a bad experience with a five cylinder Colorado, so I am biased against cars with an odd number of cylinders.

There's no doubt that many of the mechanics here are nothing but backyard wrench turners pretending to be professionals. In many ways, mechanics are like doctors here: Using one that is not highly recommended, you're just rolling the dice.
seriously consider a Mazda Demio (Mazda 2) Perfect first car. https://www.supercarros.com/mazda-demio/1394360/
I rented Kia Picantos for many winters. Cheap on gas and tough as nails. I drove them down rough backroads to get to remote beaches. Took them places I wouldn’t take an AWD SUV. Don’t expect blazing acceleration but they get around adequately. Budget sells off their cars annually. I think they ship them to Santo Domingo for disposal.
That is where Mike Logan earns his $250....he has the tools and knowledge to check the car and check it properly.

was in one yesterday in Santo Domingo asked the uber driver how he liked his little Kia, he said great car had it for 5 years and havent done anything to it... and yes that included no oil changes
It's normal to drive a vehicle here without doing anything more than putting gas in it until it stops running. That's why Toyotas are so popular.
of course.. when the car starts making loud noise ... they just turn up the radio
And that's the reason you don't want to buy a car owned and used in the DR - the maintenance is non-existent
Thanks for that, but the price is over our budget. Also, I would wonder about the availability of parts for a 2008 BMW. Nice to know the engine starts and stops though!
