Question
Hola
My wife and I will be moving to Panama somewhere between the end of June or July.
We hold are Pensiona Visas and would like to buy a car in Panama, or should we ship ours, also if we buy should we buy gas or Deisel, Gracious
HI Allen,
If you bring your car into Panama try to get "full service" meaning they (your forwarder) do all the paperwork so you donīt have to go through the terrible burden of doing ANYTHING with the local government authorities, itīs tiresome and they make it difficult.
In regards to buying a car locally, either diesel or gas will work - considering the gas/diesel prices they are almost the same here....
Hope this helps.
Lorena

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.
