    Would $1600 a month allow 1 person to live comfortably in the DR ?

    Need recommendaton for buying second car

    Agreed, call Mike, he's the best. He helped us find a Ford Edge few years ago. Low mileage, great SUV. It's a mid-size and we still have it and of course we take good care of it. Mike will find something good for you, I'm sure.
