David Car Dealers
Nov 14th, 2005 by Don Ray
Probably the first thing that a person from the US should realize is that cars manufactured for Panama are not the same cars that you would buy and have experience with in the US. I have been told that some people have had trouble with some service on US autos that they brought here because of some of the differences. Cars are one thing that becomes personal preference. I would advise that you check into the reputation of the dealer you choose. It is my personal opinion that the dealer may be more important than the brand.General Motors, Kia, Subaru Located just off the Inter-American Highway next to Super Baru. I looked at some of the Chevrolets, which I thought would probably be built in Mexico. I was toll that all of the cars they had on the showroom floor were from Korea.
Honda (Bahia Motors) While you are now starting to see a lot of Honda’s in David, the dealership is in Panama City. I understand that Honda is serviced by Felipe Rodríguez in David.
Hyundai (Petroautos, S.A.) Located on the Inter-American Highway
Mazda, Chrysler, Jeep, SsangYong http://www.supermotores.com/ Located just off the Inter-American Highway across from Toyota.
Toyota (Ricardo Perez, S. A.) Located on the Inter-American Highway
Ricardo Perez also carries Daihatsu which isn’t shown on its website. I have had some experience with car and I really liked it for a small car. 35 miles per gallon isn’t too shabby for a 4×4.
Mitsubishi (MMC Panama, S.A.) Located on Calle Miguel Ángel Brenes a block or so from Nissan.
Nissan (Panamotor) Located on Calle Miguel Ángel Brenes next to McDonald’s
Skoda (TESA) Located on Calle Miguel Ángel Brenes close to Super99.
