Thank you so much for the advices, I’m planning on moving to Nicaragua in 2 or 3 months and buying a vehicle is a must.
Im glad I could help! Good luck on the move and buying a car! Cheers and blessings!
I bought a car in Managua off of ecuentra24, an '04 civic with 118k miles, which is nothing in the U.S. especially for a Honda, but this car is totally thrashed. Definitely will go with a mechanic next time, although I think $50 for them to look at a vehicle is super high, only because I looked at a house with a lawyer to check out the paperwork and although he was a family friend he only charged us about $10. And also we had a mechanic put a new radiator in the civic and it was about $13 for labor, so $50 honestly seems a little outrageous.
Omg and the paperwork... We had to pay to register the car 4x times in a row because we didnt know about the registration process.... Thanks for all the tips!!! Great video, just wanted to throw in my 2 cents in case its helpful for someone..
True $50 is a little high but usually you have to travel outside your city to go view cars, it turns into a multiple day event. This is where the price goes up. Sorry to hear about the honda! It's a tough market to buy out here.
Super helpful and informative like all your videos...thanks!
Thank you! I am glad you found it useful!
Great transparency 🙏🏼
Thank you!
Great video !
We moved to Matagalpa about 6 weeks ago. My wife was born in Corinto. We plan on being here for a year or two. Except for the heat from noon-5, we are enjoying living here. We have great neighbors that are now friends. If you are ever in the area, please message us….maybe grab some coffee ?

Hi Scott! Thank you for watching. I am open to meeting up some day to get some coffee. Send me an email so I we can be in touch. emensecoffeemovement@gmail.com
Great advice. It took me almost a year to find the Land Cruser I wanted. I would add to your list and let your viewers know that they should be prepared to spend a few thousand more dollars getting their new purchase up to north american standards that they are use to. The environment and road conditions are hard on vehicles here. This is also a poor country and preventive maintenance like regular oil changes are not a thing. My clutch fluid was black when I bought my rig and it should be clear. It literally took me six more months to get it to the point that I feel its road worthy. Now it's time for a road trip to the northern mountains to a coffee finca (they're harvesting now, right?). Maybe I can buy you a coffee in person...
Hey Brett! Good points man! I will keep that in mind for part 2. If you plan on making your way up this north let me know we can meet up for a cup of coffee! Or a farm visit! cheers!
@@EmenseCoffee That would be awesome. I'm heading up next week. I'll send you a mssg on Instagram.
@@brettsouza6650 sounds good. let me know couple of days before so I can plan.
Brett, I tried tagging you on another video (your story) but I wasn’t able to, so I’ll leave it here:
“I’m so happy for Brett! It’s quite obvious that living in Nicaragua has brought him much joy ❤ The way he describe the rainy season as ‘green and lush’ is how I would describe his energy and demeanor in this video 🌱🌞 Here’s for a long life in Nicaragua for Brett 🍻”
Great information Brother 😎✌️
My mom has a diesel Mecanic shop in Managua in business for 65 years that’s one thing I won’t have to worry abt 💪👍🏼
That’s a blessings right there!
I’ve a owned couple of small dealerships up in the San Diego area
I can tell you with everything that you’ve mentioned
Having a great mechanic comes in handy, also you do need to inspect for any frame damage, it is extremely important
Any damage any welding etc
You are right on point when you made that suggestion about buying from private owner, out on any big city ( León, Managua, Chinandega ) they tend to just drive around for the heck of it🎉😂
soo true lol! It's hard buying a good truck out here. Thanks for watching my friend! cheers!
Latino time 😉
This is very informative! Thanks for sharing 🎉
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hola soy un suscriptor tuyo y me gusta mucho tus Videos, mi hermano compró tierra allá y yo pienso ir con él próximamente, a lo mejor lo puedo conocer y me gustaría saber cómo es si se puede importar un vehículo desde Florida, US
Saludos amigo! Bendiciones!
Man, this has been really frustrating, but thanks for the advice. I did exactly the same thing, sold everything in El Salvador and moved to Nicaragua almost 2 months ago! IS THE BEST THING! But is a challenge too... I'm working remotely now, and it is pretty cool that everything here is cheap, but transportation 😂😂😂
Soo true brother!! Good luck and cheers! Enjoy your time in Nicaragua.
I’m not even in the market for a truck nor in Nicaragua but I find the country fascinating as it has lots of potential and I believe will become a much stronger economy in this century. Please keep making videos like this on life in Nicaragua!
Thank you my friend. I will keep them coming. Follow me on instagram for more adventures. @emenselogic. Where are you watching from?
@@EmenseCoffee followed my guy I'm in Dallas right now
@@bvedant nice! Thanks bro! What video about nicaragua would interest you?
@@EmenseCoffee personally I’d be interested in videos about daily life when you go into the cities, like vlogging walking around, I’m not sure how often that would be for you but I’d definitely watch that man. When tourists record that stuff it’s cool but I don’t think they have the perspective that a local would have the perspective of to be able to show.
@@bvedant good idea man, I will keep that in mind for my next videos! Thank you!
Good tips. I don’t understand how the paper work (tip 2) gets out of hand like that.
Here when buying a vehicle used all you need is a bill of sale (keep in mind you should check to see if there are an liens on it), and proof of insurance to register it.
When you register it you give them those two documents, you will get them back shortly and they will also hand you the registration which will I Clyde all the information about the vehicle and the license plate number. They also give you the plate as well and that’s about it.
On the bill of sale is all the information about the vehicle, make model year kms, vin, how was the sale made cash cheque etc, asking are there any liens on it and all vehicles are sold as is (when purchased form private sellers).
If you purchase from a dealership / full in cash they may have warranty info there
Good points, it’s easy for paper work to get messed up here in Nicaragua. Cheers! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for all your extremely useful information. We appreciate it. I have one burning question about vehicles in Nicaragua:
Please tell us if it is possible to bring in a vehicle, our own personal vehicle, into Nicaragua. If so, how complicated is the procedure?
Hi! Yes you can bring in your own vehicle. The rule states it can be only a max of 10 years old, so 2013 and above.
Since its a personal vehicle it will be subject to taxes depending on the value. The process is long and expensive. I highly recommend buying a vehicle in Nicaragua to save money and time.
I’m not bad at assessing vehicles. I’m not sure about the proper paperwork. And I’m not great in my Spanish. I can make it worth your while if you can help. Buy you cream for your coffee? Haha. I’m heading down from Canada. You need any maple syrup?
lol I am traveling rght now and not in the country to help
These are good tips to search for and buy a vehicle, but I'm confused. How do you register it to drive it legally if you aren't a citizen?
Thank you 🙏🏻
You are welcomed! where are you watching from?!
@@EmenseCoffee South Africa. I'm planning a trip to Nicaragua end of May. I want to become fluent in spanish. I live in Atlanta Ga. Thank you for the information! Bravo
How much visual inspection can a mechanic do without putting it on a lift? Putting the car on the lift will discover hidden oil leaks etc.
Good question. A lift would be better but they are not common only in the big citys you will find them sometimes. You will have to trust the mechanics exprience to get underneath and do his job.
I read that foreigners can't register a vehicle.. My car and my motorcycle are both in the name of my girfriend who is from here. I think there are services if you don't konw anyone you can trust to register it in their name. What do you think?
I have heard the same thing my friend. Foreigners can not register a vehicle. You can find a service.
I have Ethiopai possport i and i live in kenya can i come to Nicaraguan and how can i
You will have to check the requirements from your side. Not sure about it.
Can one buy a car if staying on a tourist visa or does one need to have residency or own a business?
Do you have to be a resident or citizen to own a car?
Would you recommend bringing your car from the USA to NIC?
Hi! Is it for a road trip or importing? For importing I would not recommend it.
I’m about to buy a car and I’m scared to death lol the cars a double what they are worth in the us
Can you do a video about bringing your own vehicle from the US to Nic?
Hi Yes, I can get together some info for the video!
Scott Alan miller has a good video about it you could search for. the gyst was, its a bad idea, but def do your research and good luck :)
Ok, weird question…we are driving in a 2004 suv to get our large dog into the country. We are told it is too old to keep in Nicaragua and will have 90-120 days to get it out of the country. Any suggestions on getting it out of Nicaragua and getting a few bucks for it ? We really hope not to have to drive it all the way back to the US. Ideas ??? Thx !
Hey! I would need to investigate what options you have.
In case you run out of time with your 90 days you can drive to Cost Rica and rest the clock to buy more time until you can find a solution. I heard of people donating the suv to the redcross or hospitol. This allows them to get rid of the suv.
Hey!! I am thinking to move to manaugua from canada in October. I am 34. And I just want a more relaxed cheaper life and new lifestyle . I found a NICE 10 room hotel I want to rent in downtown Managua Would this be a good plan for soemone?
Hi! Have you been to Nicaragua before? I recommend people to travel each city of Nicaragua to get a feel of where they would like to stay.
Hey. I’m heading down to Nicaragua next week. My dad is looking for a vehicle for his wife. Can you help me? Please?
I’m only down for a couple of weeks unless something amazing happens. I’m around masaya.
Would it be cheaper to buy a vehicle in Costa Rica?
I think Nicaragua is still cheaper. Usually costa rica runs more expensive
Can you help with renting a vehicle??
They rent them at the airport or around the capital.
We are presently doing our 2022 income tax and expect a refund. When it comes through, I will come back and buy you a cup of coffee. I promise.
Thank you my friend! Thanks for watching!
