Hi. Can someone fill me in on the process for buying a cheap used car and getting it insured in Panama? I've heard that doing anything in Central America is a big pain because of the red tape and slowness. But I don't see how we can get around this one - we absolutely need a car while we're there! We're going to be there as tourists (not residents) but for at least six months, so a car is essential. Is there someone out there who can give me some details on this subject? Much appreciated!

If you are in Boquete, I can provide a name that will do everything for you.

We're not going to be in Boquete. We want to be on the coast, so we're looking at Gorgona area (also a good school there). If you know of anyone there, let me know - thanks!
