Comprando e registando um veículo de motor em Jamaica

Lado do excitador de Nissan Vanette

Nós decidimo-nos que nós quisemos um veículo e começamos a procurar um excesso um mês há agora. Um carro novo era fora da pergunta e o mercado usado do carro aqui é consideravelmente pobre mas eu encontrei que você pode começar um carro aqui para tão baixo como $1000 E.U. e eu figuramos que maneira melhor para que nós comecem em torno do que nosso próprio veículo. Enquanto nós começamos olhar tornou-se mais aparente que o que nós quisemos realmente era uma camionete assim que nós poderíamos ir em nossas próprias excursões e assim que nós nos decidimos gastar o dinheiro e encontrar uma camionete para a venda em . O poço lá é cargas das camionetes e das barras-ônibus para usar-se da venda Gleaner Classifieds mas enquanto você pode ver que o preço médio está acima de $500.000 dólares Jamaican ou aproximadamente $8000 E.U. que era completamente um bocado mais do que nós tivemos que gastar.

Eu encontrei que você poderia encontrar carros usados para a venda dentro em uns preços mais baixos mas neles vá rapidamente. Há uns negócios usados do carro dentro em cidades principais tais como Kingston, a baía de Montego e mesmo Mandeville mas o mercado é mais por uns carros mais novos no 2003 e uns anos modelo mais novos. Eu quis gastar menos de $200.000 ou aproximadamente $3000 E.U. em um veículo e em um mim sentiram que nós devemos compramos um veículo running decent nesse preço. Você pode esquecer-se de encontrar qualquer outra coisa semelhante em um negócio dentro . Simplesmente não existe e mais não terá mesmo um carro no lote sob $350,000JA. Eu era entretanto afortunado encontrar Nissan 1996 Vanette para a venda no Gleaner uma manhã em $220.000 e eu saltei em uma barra-ônibus e funcionei a Kingston para comprá-lo. Fêz-me exame de duas semanas para fazer assim mas eu finalmente comprei uma camionete para menos de $200.000 e comecei-a segurada e registada em meu 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.
