Apia - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of car do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car do you advise not to bring?

Import an SUV with 4WD. If you never plan to leave Apia, a sedan will be fine. As of right now they no longer allow for import of left hand drive vehicles. We got both of ours from Japan. One 4WD and one sedan compact. There are a lot of used cars on the market. You may have good luck grabbing an outgoing counterparts car, or finding a good deal at one of the yards. However, you will pay a premium. Gas is expensive so keep that in mind before buying that V8. - Dec 2018
