    Is it feasable to buy a car over there for a year?

    Hell yeah. You can buy cheap cars everywhere here, and then just sell it...or blow it up...drive it off a cliff...whatever you want before you go. :D

    there's no point

    you can hire so easily and cheaply! and there's buses everywhere else.

    i remember 1 italian guy who sold his car in a raffle, everyone bought a $7 ticket and the one he pulled out of the bag, won the car! ;D

    OK, THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE COST COULD BE,
    I BOUGHT A CAR FOR $700 USD, PAID THE DRIVER LICENSE AND INSURANCE AND I DID NOT SPEND MORE THAN $1500 USD FOR ALL

    OF COURSE YOU CAN BUY A CAR FOR $2000 BUT THE COMMONS CARS ARE CHEAPER SO WHEN YOU ARRIVE ASK AROUND IF SOMEONE THAT IS LEAVING IS SELLING BEFORE YOU BUY, AND YOU CAN ASK FRIEND IF YOU SEE THAT CAR BROKE DOWN OR SOMETHING, ´CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW,

    I DIDN´T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY $700 DOLLAR CAR, BUT A MONTH AFTER I RETURN I HEARD THAT IT WAS USELESS, SO YOU TAKE THE RISK, IF YOU BUY WITH A DEALER YOU WON´T HAVE THAT KIND OF PROBLEM...

    HOPE IT HEPLS...
    TAKE CARE

    holy caps batman!

    heres another example. Im going to buy a ..Ferarri 355 for about $70,000 when i get there. Now my insurance on that for the year is going to be approx $4200 US. Or I can drive it back to Canada and insure it here for about half of that, and in Canadian funds to boot...so I guess a third of that.

    And instead of selling it when I leave I plan on taking out a personal insurance plan on it on top of the regular insurance, and driving it into the ocean...I will hopefully make enough money off of writting off the car, and sueing the state of Florida for bad roads to buy myself an Aston Martin Vanquish.

    Hope that helps!

    Sounds like a plan :)

    Actually, I didn't REALLY miss a car. I could have done some other things with it, but I didn't miss it as such. The busses suck, though, more badly all the time you're there.
    I chose to spend my money on other things, and I didn't have that much all the time. Think about if you're food or merch/attractions and about how money you will have. And buy something that doesn't fall apart after a few miles - happened all the time. Pay a wee bit more - not too much of course, but if you buy a Commons car, buy something where other people say it's running quite well. That's no guarantee at all, but it's at least an indication. And with those really cheap cars, you WILL have some expensive repairs to do - count that in.
