Think of the most outrageous price imaginable. Got that in your mind? Now double it! Welcome to the DR, where cars go up in value as they get older. :tired:
3 months ago I looked around for both used and new - ended up buyng new because Toyota or Delta Comercial deal in US$ for new cars and don't play the currency exchange game. You can expect about 30% more than in the US for new. Just remember here when they quote you a price it usually includes everything but in north america you still add taxes, delivery, etc.
To me that 30% extra is not bad becuase I am living here now vs in Canada I need to buy the car with after tax money - it cost higher in Canada if you consider personal income taxes.
Also Toyota is always out of stock with the popular cars and you need to put a deposit down for the next shipment.
