Miguel Llenas, who has a new company called Data Credito, said that an estimated 30-35,000 stolen cars from Mexico are circulating in the DR. He said that last year 120,000 cars were stolen in Texas or Florida for resale purpose. Dominican dealers purchase these cars in Orlando, Florida, he said. He said his company seeks to compare original chassis numbers previous to okaying car insurance. Buyers of used cars should verify that the original chassis has not been tampered with. If you buy a stolen car in the DR, you may very well lose the car and not be able to recover the money you paid for it.
