Big spender ??? What !

Am buying me a sonata orange car like year 2010 or something like that

It’s like $100,000 pesos you think that’s a big spender my brothers


Any ways can you reply back with some answers to questions on the post

Thank you sir

If you buy any car for 100,000 pesos, it will be delivered on the back of a wrecker with no wheels, tires, transmission or motor.
You can't touch a car that starts and can go 50 miles without adding fluids air or wiring up something that starts dragging for less than $450,000, and even at that price the vehicle will need 100,000 in mechanic repairs within 6 months

If you find sonata 2010 for that price get one for me too...

If this guy is real (I suspect satirical troll) - he is the most unprepared person to move and live abroad I've encountered.
He would have a better lifestyle, fit in better and his budget expectations would align more with Gulf Port, Mississippi.
You might fight a running car there for 100,000 pesos.

I have a 2011 Ford Focus going up for sale at the end of the month for $325,000. in perfect running condition,doesn't leak oil,cold a/c,new front brake pads and rotors,good tires,etc. Always serviced by gringo mechanics since I've owned it and I bought it from a gringo,no Dominican bushwack mechanics have touched this car. Just sayin'....

Then probably you should stay away from DR, no offense but your story is very inconsistent. You say you are poor, but at the same time you mention stuff in other posts that would indicate you are planning on spending a lot of money.
So then most likely the DR is not for you, personally I would say if you want to live comfortable and be able to spend money without thinking too much about it here you need at least $2-3k/month at least have $10k in the bank + money to buy a car which as you have already noticed is not cheap, at least 300k pesos if you want something that runs okay, at least 500k for something that isn't 10 years old and you can be rather sure you won't need to go to the mechanic right away. If you are going to move here you need to be aware that people (in general) will treat you differently as a "gringo" and will try to exploit you. You cannot expect that stuff actually will work, but rather be surprised the few times when they actually do.
So my take on all of these questions and comments is that DR is not for you, sorry if it doesn't please you.

Is the transmission module good ?
It was a major weakness in that the Focus at about 60K miles, but that may have started on 2012 models with the Powershift transmissions. 2011 might be OK.
Good luck - at you price point if it's clean it will sell. Those have peppy engines.

It's not bullying but you have started so many threads with questions that prove you are :
- Either not really thinking about moving here, because you can not afford it in $$ or savvy.
- Or your just want to get some 'action' on the forum and, as someone mentioned, you may be a 'sock puppet', spoofing everyone.

You need ~$50K min cash in the bank plus $2,500 income to survive here and get set up. And that's not going to go far.
And it will cost you $5K to get everything done to become a legal resident for just one year temporary.
If you are as naïve as your posts you will be fleeced by locals in 6 months
