I wish this area was a little bit easier to understand. The type of vehicle I purchased today depends on the cost of importing into the D.R. Escalade maybe? Lincoln navigator or towncar? Does anybody know of a company or person you can contact and give them the vehicle description and they give you a ballpark figure?
First, I'd think long and hard about the type vehicle you want to import. An Escalade, Navigator, or Town Car? Very big for DR roads and I'd guess not great on holding up on the rough roads. At least I never drove a U.S. made vehicle in DR that had held up well. Also, try parking an Escalade in most DR parking lots Maintenance/parts could also be a challenge. If you are intent on spending that much money and buying something that big, forget those makes and consider a Land Cruiser, LX430 or similar. You'll get a lot more respect for your choice of vehicles and won't stand out so much. All in all, what are you talking about saving? $5000 on a vehicle that starts out in U.S. costing $45000 and ends up being US$65-70,000 on arrival in DR?
