This is my story:
Five years ago I bought a slightly used 95 Mercury Mystique with the intention of taking it with me to DR when I moved there. Time passed and finally this year I will be able to move in July. Problem? now my car (which was garaged for almost 3 years) is too old, the new law says a car cannot be more than five years old to bring it to DR. OK, let's say I sell the car (for less than 25% of the money I invested on it) and buy a later model, the catch is that this car will not qualify for the exemption because I haven't had it for one year. It's a catch 22, can't bring the one I have, but if I buy new one will end up losing the money I invested on the old one, plus paying full duties on the new one unless I wait another year. Can anyone help me or tell me what to do?
