Buying a car in Martinique

Hi,

To be able to move in Martinique, a lot of expatriates think of buying a car, whether new or second-hand.

What are the formalities to buy a vehicle in Martinique: car registration, insurance, etc.?

What are the relevant authorities or organizations to contact?

How long does it take and what are the associated costs?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee
