Niether Stefan nor myself have actually taken the time to get a PR drivers license, so the truck we purchased is still in the dealerships name. I've heard that getting a drivers license here is a big pain in the ass and to pretend like you don't have an out of state license when you apply for a PR license. If you do purchase a privately owned vehicle. MAKE SURE THAT THE MARBETE IS CURRENT and that the owner has the actual title. Otherwise it is not going to be worth the headache. Hi Brucifer,

Just wanted to say thanks for all your great posts... I've been reading up on your experiences over the last while and it's been INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you so much! :) I'm flying in next week and buying a car before i make my way to Rincon and just wanted to ask about a comment above. Do I need to get a PR drivers license to buy a vehicle there, or can i use my stateside DL? What are your thoughts about doing a vehicle inspection if I buy privately? Suggestions? :) BTW, the house and everything looks great! Looks like things are working out very nicely!

It could be the tinted windows that makes me think of villainy. Don’t know why but reminds me of a truck used by a baddie in 24, series 3 or 4 methinks.
