I am in the process of buying a condo in the North Coast area of the DR. I'm only in the research stage at this point. But, as a part of that process I have been following the recent posts regarding vehicle possession in the DR; most notably the issue of purchasing in, or transporting to, the DR. Much has been commented on regarding the difficulty in transporting a vehicle to the DR. And much has also been mentioned about the different types of vehicles that can be purchased in the DR, which usually involves foreign (European or Japanese, and deisel as opposed to gas) manufactured vehicles. Can anyone share any information on any US manufactured vehicles and whether or not they can be, first, serviced there and, secondly, purchased there?
My intent, upon the purchase of a condo there, is to ship either a Cadillac Escalade truck or a Chrysler C300. I have been advised, through posts on this forum and privately, not to ship the vehicle because of the difficulties and costs associated with such a venture. My problem is that I have 3 vehicles here in the states and am not fond of the idea of buying a 4th, when I could simply ship one that I already own. My thought is that if I sold a vehicle here, any loss that I would incur in the sale could be applied, instead, to the cost of shipping the thing to the DR in the 1st place. Especially with all this talk now about the elimination on import tariffs. However, if shipping a vehicle proves to be cost prohibitive, then I need to explore the possibility of selling here in the US and purchasing there in the DR. Hence the need for info on dealerships (Jeep, Chevy, etc) there in the DR.
Any help and advice would be most appreciated.
