We are moving to Playa Las Lajas, Panama in October. We will need to buy a slightly used vehicle soon after our arrival. Probably an SUV diesel. Will we have the best luck buying in PC, or does David have a good selection? Could be off a lot or from a private party.

PC has better selection in my opinion. We purchased a SUV from this dealer and had absolutely no issues. The owner has 2 or 3 dealerships to chose from and he speaks fluent English. He came highly recommended to us from an Expat who has lived in Panama City for 10/12 years. He handled all title transfers and insurance so we were covered when we left the lot, which is a requirement in Panama. He received his education from Nortre Dame in the U.S. Several of his employees speak English as well.

The go-to guy for a vehicle purchase or rental is Cowboy Dave. It probably wouldn't hurt to check him out as one of your options. He's on the 4-lane highway from David to Boquete. Just about everybody in Chiriqui knows where he lives. I will personally vouch for him.

Just as it is in the USA it takes a bit of patience and luck to find a good deal on a used vehicle. However there are plenty of used vehicles for sale. If you buy a diesel I would avoid a turbo. I would also avoid an automatic transmission as they are difficult to get repaired.

Dave does rentals. His partner, Keith, does sales and will do the hard/impossible job of searching in PC. Our car was waiting for us in our carport the day we arrived. I'll IM his info.

Google Keith Woolford in Panama.
You will see all the rave reviews about him.
He is the "Car Guy".

We totally recommend him.
