Purchasing and Insuring Used Vehicles

Yes for older cars you can only get "ley" in insurance which is basically liability. No collision insurance is available.  I have this type of insurance on my 1997 jeep wrangler.  Newer cars no problem with coverage.

Yes cars new and old are much more expensive here. Figure on at least 30% more here than in the US for the same car.  Best buy on a used car will be from an expat who has a car to sell that  he bought new or imported form the US when he got here.  Used cars from dealers can be a  "pig in  sheep's clothes" as most will be imported with bad titles, or have the odometer rolled back significantly (some times 100,000 miles of roll back).  If you are buying used car here imported from the US check it out on carfax (will give you a detailed history of the car and title in the US) before you buy anything.

Hope this helps.  If you are looking I have a SUV (Avalanche) for sale (listed in the classified ads here) that I brought from the US and bought in the US new.

Great info Bob, we double checked a client' s purchase on carfax and it was unbelievable!!!! Dealer lied about everything.  And eventually no consumer protection here.

Thanks for the helpful info. I will check out the ads,

First and only used car I tried to buy from a reputable dealer in Moca had rolled back the Odometer 100,00 miles and the last title issued in the us was  Junk Title.  CarFax is your friend
