Central america plans....
Hi,
I am in the early stages of planning a 3 month trip down Central America and wondered if anyone on this forum had any useful advice. What I'm thinking is to fly to the US (possibly Houston or Dallas) and buy a vehicle. I know this forum is mostly about bikes and I'm looking for a 4 wheeled vehicle, but someone may have experience? I'm British, so know very little about the regulations in America, e.g. insurance, registration etc..
We would then cross into Mexico and drive south through Central America finishing in Panama where I would sell the vehicle and fly back to the UK. Can anyone see any glaring problems with this plan? My two main worries are getting a vehicle (and the cost of it) registering and insuring it as a tourist in the US and getting out of Panama after selling it at the other end.. has anyone successfully done this?
Thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated!
George
