Checking the title on a used car

9 years ago
Buenas noches a todos!

I'm looking to buy a used car.

I've read all the posts here pertaining to buying cars in Panama --- from dealers, or private individuals..............the things to watch out for, and take into consideration............insurance............etc, etc

I already made up my mind to get one from a dealer, as it's safer and less hassle, albeit more expensive.

However, I found a really good one, being sold by a guy here in PTY. Yesterday, I went to see the car; I took along my mechanic (a friend of mine), who inspected the car, and found it to be in excellent shape.

I also inspected the paperwork, and all seems in order.

So, I only have one question: regarding the title itself. Before I buy, I want to check the title, to ensure there are no outstanding fees, fines, etc, etc.

I asked the seller, and, to my surprise, he said he doesn't know where this can be done. (Weird)

I assumed that it should be done in the Munincipio.

Am I right?

Gracias
