And that too doesn't make sense. Of course you negotiate, but the import taxes alone add 50% to the value of the vehicle. There is no negotiating that away.
Spin my words if you want. I have dominican friends that explained to me long ago how crooked the car game is here. If people get taken advantage of its unfortunate. Is it stupid to pay more for something than you should. You decide.
If that is US$, it sounds like we send kids to the same school. Seems like every week, i get a letter asking for something extra.....buses, football, museum trips, ice cream, ...... And don't start on how the kids get days off for 'teachers meetings'. Never happened in my school.
Yea, and I love the finals weeks. Two weeks twice a year of half days, or less. WTF.
I have an 2005 ford f150 and 2009 nissan xterra. Talk to me privately if you want to know how much
I thought you would like to make it public, so expats would have an idea about how not to be "stupid".
The 2005 f150 is worth f*** all. The 2009 nissan xterra is usually a good deal here. Thank goodness you didn't waste your money on a kia/hyundai.
Interestingly enough, that same CRV is now for sale on FB for $28,500. A drop of $4,500 just like that. It's the same with real estate, people ask for "one million billion dollars" and then sit on hoping a sucker will come along.
I paid 675k pesos 5 years ago when the peso was at 40 for the truck and 575k for the nissan last summer.
And in five years only had to do tires and brakes. It had 42000 miles when I bought it. Checked car fax. Was titled in upstate ny. One owner.
Have you guys checked the Punta Cana - Bavaro area
for those of you complaining about electricity. Have you considered moving to the Punta Cana Bavaro area.
I have not heard anyone complains about electricity or the need to buy inverters over there. The area is newly and still being build. If enough of you moves over there better school, better service will follow.

Same said 10 and more years ago. I know a few that left SD thinking the same. Most have come back already.....not all though. Some have made a good slog at it and come out moderately well.
Actually yes. I will visit there and look at some rentals before I make the final final decision to move back to the states. For me though mostly, it is the cost of flights to Minneapolis being significantly cheaper and shorter from PUJ, and easier flights to Europe for me.
But, it seems, rental villas are more expensive than the north coast.
PUJ is your cheapest 'port of call'.......
hard not to live nearby......although I don't
for frequent travelers , that's the place
