I know this topic has been covered ad nauseum, but I'm interested in up-to-date information.
I've set my mind on a 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited and have a budget of $30k. *Looking at Supercarros and Corotos, there are a few available in that price range with a little wiggle room. *But some may have dubious histories.
If you look on US websites or even eBay, the same car goes for around $25k or less. *Most with very low mileage, full service history and some are Toyota certified pre-owned vehicles. *You get BOTH keys and a wallet full of the original documents.
My question is; as a Brit, could I buy a car in the US over the internet, get it sent to a shipper to put on a boat to the DR?
Are there people who specialize in just this?
What could be the estimated costs?
Shipping?
Import tax?
Administration costs to get it registered and legal in the DR?
Ultimately is it worth it?
