Living there, costs.
Hi,
I live in UK and have just returned from Punta Banda which I found was the most wonderful place I have ever been and can't wait to get back there as a
retiree.
I know the cost of living is a lot lower there than here in England but I a trying to do a comparison on some of the bills I pay now, and some of the
bills I will pay when in Punta Banda, I hope someone can help me with my questions.
There are just the two of us and would like a rough idea on propane and electiric for a month,how much does basic sattellite TV cost and do you have
to pay a license fee. How much is phone rental and how much will internet cost me. I know the Pila charge is about $30 a month, how much does
bottled drinking water work out to, say per 5 gallon bottle.
Is there such a thing as vehicle license and how much does that cost.
Is it better to have US plates or Baja plates
What other costs are associated with renting a property.
Loads of questions I know but would be really pleased if someone could answer them for me.
Thanks
Dave

Live like your King!
Non-Mexican citizens loosing their homes are NOT the norm. Comparing to the thousands of happy land deals made annually...there are only those few
that didn?t do their homework (or got a good con) lost their homes / lots. Be careful?but don?t believe all deals in Mexico are rip offs! Not true.
Not even close.
English are you? I can tell you that the cost (of living) in Mexico is about 60% less than it is in England! Come?and live like your Queen and King!
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

Assert any old thing you want.
The OP SPECIFICALLY mentioned ONE place, right?

I have done my homework on Punta Banda, unlike a lot of the people who didn't and lost their homes, even at the last minute some still had the chance
to renegotiate, but that is in the past now. I have met many happy secure residents there, who own their land in banktrust.
I have estimated on what I have been able to find out that I could save about $600US a month.
Can anyone let me know about the Vehicle, California plates or Mexican plates, which is cheapest and which is best. I only intend to cross into USA
three or four times a year
Cheers
Dave

Buy your car in ensenada already imported, you can go to the states with mexican plates no problem, you can buy insurance for one day or a year for
the states. My 2 cents.

Everybody in North America has cheaper plates than CA. Get them in Mexico and save.

We purchased all our insurance for our home and car in Punta Estero from a woman who operates her business several days a week in Punta Banda on the
main road to La Bufadora. She is very knowledgeable and has affordable rates. If interested I can email you the info/name etc.
Hi Yes I know the place, email would be useful if you could.
I am thinking more of the Peninsular area, up on top of the hills. I can drive to the beach when I want.
