puerto rico: I will be buying a car in Puerto Rico, I am not sure yet from a private person or from a dealer. If from a private person, how long and difficult is the registration process? Anything to look out for?|||If you buy from a dealer they do all the paper work on site. If you buy from a person then you and the original ownwer have to go to the "Departamento de Transportaci贸n y Obras P煤blicas (DTOP)" to fill some forms and to the change of ownership; nothing complicated. If you buy from a person make sure not to buy an stolen car or a car with stolen parts, if you do the police will take the car away without argument and you will never see it again. And never buy from Fair Show, you will get in truoble if you do, you can't trust them. Here is the site of DTOP http://www.dtop.gov.pr/disco/cescometro.鈥?/a>|||The "Fair" or "Feria de Carros" is when they do some kind "car flea market" on a non permanent site, is not an auction. Some cars are stolen or with stolen parts; after the sale there is no way to get the vendor because they are gone, so you lose the car and the money once the police get to you.
