I understand where the sentiment comes from! I had some luck finding a cell phone number for the lady I bought it from and just started calling and leaving messages a couple of times a day. She finally contacted me by email and said she will get me the title (marchamo has been paid). So things are looking up. I guess being a pest can pay off.
I have now looked up the “marchamo” record for the car placa and it appears to me that it was not paid for the current year. Guess that complicates it even more. Do you know if Costa Rica has anyway to declare a car as abandoned and then pay back fees and reregister?
Thanks – I’ll contact the attorney who helped us with the closing.Sounds like that may work.
