Comprando e registrando un autoveicolo in Giamaica

Lato del driver di Nissan Vanette

Abbiamo deciso che abbiamo desiderato un veicolo ed abbiamo cominciato a cercare un'eccedenza un mese fa ora. Un nuovo automobile era inammissibile ed il mercato usato dell'automobile qui è poveri graziosi ma ho trovato che potete ottenere un automobile qui per basso come i $1000 Stati Uniti ed io abbiamo calcolato che senso migliore affinchè noi ottenessero intorno che il nostro proprio veicolo. Mentre abbiamo cominciato osservare è diventato più apparente che che cosa realmente abbiamo desiderato era un furgone in modo da potremmo andare durante i nostri propri giri ed in modo da abbiamo deciso spendere i soldi e trovare un furgone da vendere in . Il pozzo là è carichi dei furgoni e dei bus da vendere usando Gleaner Classifieds ma mentre potete vedere che il prezzo medio è superiore a $500.000 dollari giamaicani o i circa $8000 Stati Uniti che era abbastanza un ancora un poco dei abbiamo dovuto spendere.

Ho trovato che potreste trovare gli automobili utilizzati da vendere dentro ai prezzi più bassi ma ai vada velocemente. Ci sono gestioni commerciali usate dell'automobile dentro in città importanti quali Kingston, la baia di Montego e perfino Mandeville ma il mercato è più per i più nuovi automobili nel 2003 ed i più nuovi anni di modello. Ho desiderato spendere più meno i di $200.000 o circa $3000 Stati Uniti su un veicolo e su un io hanno ritenuto che dovremmo potere comprare un veicolo corrente decent a quel prezzo. Potete dimenticare l'individuazione dei qualcosa di simile ad una gestione commerciale dentro . Non esiste semplicemente e più neppure non avrà un automobile sul lotto sotto $350,000JA. Ero tuttavia fortunato trovare Nissan 1996 Vanette da vendere nel Gleaner una mattina a $220.000 ed ho saltato in un bus ed ho funzionato a Kingston per comprarlo. Mi ha occorr due settimane per fare così ma infine ho comprato un furgone per meno di $200.000 e lo ho ottenuto assicurato e registrato nel mio nome. Dealing with the motor vehicle transfer was much fun also. I had to have insurance on the car in my own name before I could register it. I was lucky that i bought the car from a nice family and they had already taken care of much of the paperwork necessary. You will have to have the Title signed by someone form the Tax Collectorate, a Certificate of Fitness which seems to be like a vehicle inspection and Insurance which set me back $28,000JA. I bought a new set of tires for it just because I feel safer on them but we’re on the road finally.

Nissan Vanette Rear Hatch

I’ve had the van for about two weeks now and I have put over 2500 KM on it thus far in trips to Kingston, Sav La Mar and all over the South Coast and Westmoreland Parish. Buying a car in is pretty easy actually and a great way to see the country. Learning how to drive a right hand drive stick shift van on the left hand side of the road was a whole different story and I was involved in a minor accident on my first drive home from Kingston. Some guy clipped the side of the van pulled the rear tail light off but I already had it fixed and I even went to court over my traffic ticket but pled guilty when the cop who pulled us was sitting next to the juge all buddy buddy like. I knew there was no reason to even argue the case and I accepted a fine of $4000JA for “Careless Driving” as I was blamed for being on the wrong side of the road on a road with no sides. Thats the way things go in and I knew there was no sense in fighting it. I left the courthouse and drive to Roaring Rivers with the kids and had a blast. I love our van and so do the kids, maybe one day you’ll come for a ride with us here in .

Getting a TRN (Taxpayers Registration Number) and bank account in Jamaica

In order to conduct any sort of business in you must first register to get a TRN or Taxpayers Registration Number. I knew we would need a TRN for things like opening up a bank account, buying a car and opening a business so I decided to get one while in Kingston. I was in pursuit of a bank account in so I can move some money here and avoid the ridiculous fees charged to withdraw some cash here in Negril. Opening up a bank account turned out to be a little more difficult then expected but I found a way around things for us and maybe someone else can appreciate the information but first back to the TRN.

The TRN application is pretty simple and straight forward and forms can be downloaded from the Jamaica Tax Administration in advance so you’re prepared once you arrive. Any government office in is going to be busy but the Tax Collectors Office must be the worst. I was actually very lucky on my first trip through and getting the TRN was pretty fast, subsequent trips for the motor vehicle transfer would prove much more difficult. After filling out the forms and submitting them I was given a slip with my TRN number and told I could pick up my TRN card at the Sav La Mar office in about one months time. I have not yet done so but the month is almost up.

Opening a bank account in was quite a bit trickier but there is a solution for those of us without strong connections to the island already. Commercial banks in such as NCB, ScotiaBank and RBTT are required to secure quite a bit of paperwork on you before they can open an account for you. I was told by managers of each bank that they simply could not open a bank account for me without a reference from an existing account holder and a letter from a Priest, Police Captain or Justice of the Peace in who has known me for more than 6 months. After talking with each bank it seemed I would have to cheat the system and bribe someone to vouch for me but then I went into the National Builders Society and things changed. As a Builders Society and not a Commercial Bank they have their own rules and within 30 minutes I had not only a bank account but a listing of homes for sale in any Parish I wanted was printed for me to review and in the future it will be easy enough to secure a home loan or financing of some sort for our own slice of heaven here in . It’s not a checking account, it;s a savings only with debit card available but thats exactly what I need here in and it’s a lot easier then tracking down two references.
