How much does it cost for the first Placa if you do I yourself? What is involved and how long will it take to receive the hard placa not the paper? The car shipping company wants me to pay $1,500.00 US to do it plus car delivery to house. I thought $1,500.00 would be exorbitant, but after hearing the complaints of waiting months for the item maybe not....? Any information will help, thanks.

Does the 1500 include the import duty?

When I bought my (imported) car, I only paid the tax, dealer arranged the placa, it took less than a week.

First placa is 17% of the value of the vehicle and then you pay an additional 18% for ITBIS, plus other fees.
