Hi,
We are planning to move to Dominican (from Florida) and while the real estate and apartment prices are reasonable, we are more than wondering about the prices of cars.
Most used and new cars we found on supercarros.com and ListinDiario show prices that are out of this world. 2 times more expensive than the USA with the current exchange rate of ~ 30RD$ to 1US$.
Example:
In DR: New Toyota Camry 2005 (no model specified) US$41.500
In USA: New Toyota Camry 2005 (top model) US$25.000
(Prices taken from supercarros.com and toyota.com)
Can someone point to websites of "official" cardealerships in the DR with realistic prices for new Vehicles? (Renault, Peugeot, KIA) other than supercarros.com
And if cars are indeed that expensive in the DR would it be a better option to import our own vehicle from the US? Are there extra import fees/taxes? Or is it considered exempt along with private moving goods? Are there any problems (high $) to get a local license plate in this case?
Thanks in advance
