I was on my morning walk and noticed that the Suzuki dealership has closed. This is one of the obstacles that car buyers have in Panama. You can buy a car and a week later there is no dealer. Last year the Mazda, Jeep and Chrysler dealership closed in David.
When I moved to Panama in [...]

You may be wondering how my car service went. Well, I guess it went fair. There are definitely things that could have been done differently and I would have been more satisfied.
I was almost due for my 80,000 KM service on MY Daihatsu Terios. I bought it new and have religiously taken it to the [...]

When the last David Fair opened, Honda also opened a dealership in David. Until then, all Honda Service was Done by Tambor. The Honda dealership is on the Boquete Highway across the street from the Toyota dealer.
Here is a photo inside the showroom.

I happened to be in Ricardo Perez, yesterday and saw this 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 on the show room floor. I am not in the market for one, but I was curious enough to look at the new model. It was plush with leather and all the trimmings.

I have seen several of these little Daihatsus running around town and thought I would stop in at the Toyota dealer and take a closer look.

Another of my chores today was to go by the Toyota dealer and pick up a part a car. They have done a good job decorating. I really liked this miniature nativity scene.
This tree did a good job of brightening the area as well.

It appears to be a Costa Rican company, since the website is in [...]
