AboutLorena Milanes Expertise I can answer questions regarding Panama, its people, culture, places to visit, places to watch out for, hotels to stay, how much your taxi fare should be... specific information on getting around on a safe manner.
Experience I was born and raised in Panama, educated in American schools. Since I enjoy all related to Panama history, I try to keep myself updated on local happenings in the subject. I also enjoy traveling and the internet seems a wonderful tool to use, specially when you are your own guide (which I usually am)- so I am just willing to give some of the help I have received back.

Question I plan on moving to Panama next January. The cost of shipping my car is around 2,500 not counting that it takes around a month for it to get there, requiting me to rent a car for that time. It is a 2003 Toyota Solara and I hate to give it up but my information is that it would be hard and take a long time to find parts for that kind of car in Panama. I expected to have it for a very long time. Apparantly, there isn't a lot of toyota dealers in Panama, so parts may be hard to come by.
Am I better off selling my car here in the USA and buying another car in Panama.

Answer Dear John,
Before selling the car I would contact THE local Toyota dealer here who is, as far as I know the only one.
They have been around since I can remember, their site is http://www.toyotarp.com/
Maybe you can email them or call for info on servicing your car.
