Hi all,

Is it possible to purchase a vehicle in Costa Rica using a credit card (master card)?
Let's say your limit is $20,000 and the car price is $18,000. Is it possible to buy the same way from a rental company (they do sell rental vehicles).
I've heard that dealing with banks wiring money is a pain and expensive.

We bought our last car and traded the oldone to the dealer. It four or five credit card transactions to pay the balance but there was no problem.
