Thx for the contact and thoughts,
we are relocating there this fall and have driven rental cars there without issues on our previous half dozen trips with no issues, but think it may not make sense to have the hassles of owning a car. Looking at the nissan dealer, but also just using local taxis and walking as we won't be in a hurry..
any other thoughts from locals on owning a car vs not for living near la ropa (cero de vigia)?
thx!
Wade

What have you discovered that is helpful? I stopped by the Nissan dealership last week for information about used purchase. They have availability…and Acapulco has cars that can be brought to ZI at the dealers expense.
The age range does not go very deep though…2016 maybe? Asking $10-12 thousand USD…low mileage.

We used to have a car in Zihua but got rid of it. Parking around town is pretty bad and the driving style of the locals is, to put it mildly, quite creative. We prefer to use a local driver. The added advantage is that one can enjoy the view enroute. We use Pedro Moreno, who speaks perfect English. 672-119-2398 or pedro.91477@gmail.com

Hola…..if we were to buy a late model SUV does anyone have recommendations for dealerships in Lazaro Cardenas, Morelia or CDMX etc? Any expats or local folks please comment. Keeping an eye on local Zihua/Ixtapa FB Marketplace, too!
Thanks all!
