Hey Nancy, enjoyed reading about your car purchase, and so the adventures continue in your new/usado Fiat. Hope you and Denise are well and your arm is better. Thank you for the wonderful sharing!
Cars are in high demand in the US as well, with folks paying over the list price. I feel your pain going to a dealership: is there any other business that spends so much time and effort to intentionally make you feel stupid?
Yes, the frequency is determined by the age of the car. New cars less frequently (I think 4 years), then after two years, and then every year for older vehicles.
I also worked with Miguel at Santogol and have sent dozens others there. You will be well supported by him and that location. Congrats, that Fiat is hugely popular!
When I email Miguel to ask him if I could reference him in the post, his response was so classy. A wonderful young man. We feel fortunate to have met him.
Once again, a post that is fun to read and full of great information, thank you!
Very cool!!

In talking to my brother about this experience he shared that it sounded like buying a Saturn before that brand was retired.
Do cars have to be regularly inspected in Portugal?
Yes, the frequency is determined by the age of the car. New cars less frequently (I think 4 years), then after two years, and then every year for older vehicles.
Excellent info. And such a cool car!!
Congrats on the car. As much as you didn’t want to buy one so soon, it will allow you a lot of freedom and more adventures.
They’re fun to drive. We have a Fiat 500c Pop that we use for our tow car—it’s been very reliable. Enjoy..!
