This is very interesting, ROGER. Having always been a loyal Toyota customer and considering some of the roads in Costa Rica, I think I would go with a HiLux 4wd or the forerunner. Does one have to be a resident in Costa Rica in order to qualify for financing? I guess that would be a moot point if car ownership also required legal residency. I’m not interested yet in owning an EV, so a lot of the Chinese vehicles are out. Besides, I don’t think they have a long enough track record on reliability. My wife and I did ride in a couple Chinese manufactured vehicles driven by Uber drivers on our recent visit to Costa Rica. I would say they felt very much on par with the Kia’s.

Hi Richard thank you for watching and your comment. I would agree that Toyota is always a good choice. They do well in Costa Rica and very reliable and good local service. To get financing you would need to have residency in Costa Rica. However to actually own a vehicle if you purchased it without financing then you can own it with just your passport and do not need to have residency to own it.

Thanks for this video. Now have a much better idea of new cost there. Crazy how expensive new cars are in CR. If the Chinese cars are reliable then they will do well given the initial lower price. I will keep my trusty 2018 Honda Civic, maybe even get it to CR when I am ready...

Hi and thank you for watching an commenting. Yes, Honda Civic is a great car and you can consider importing to CR when you are ready as an option. The local Honda dealer is good and has parts are available as well.

YIKES ! New car prices in CR are really high ! We belong to several FaceBook groups, which often discuss the pros & cons of transporting your existing car / pickup to CR, or buying a used one once you move to CR. What do you recommend ? Also, we noticed in your video some Kias - who represents that maker in CR ?

Hi Mary. You can use crautos.com to compare the cost of a used car in Costa Rica and then compare that with the cost of buying it in the US and then shipping it down and paying the import duties. Tough recommendation to make since it depends on the vehicle make, model, year and the price that you can get it for in the US. Generally US cars from the south (less rust) and being driven on highways may have less wear and tear than a local one. As to KIA here is their facebook link with information about the dealership: facebook.com/KiaCR/?locale=es_LA As always thank you for watching and your feedback

Why did you skip the Hondas and Mazda? Do they have Fords down there? Thanks!

Hi Matt. Thank you for watching and commenting. I ran out of battery on the camera I was using so I was not able to cover them all. Honda has a Costa Rica dealer website with prices listed on it. Civics are around 44,950 , CRV is 52,950 and a Pilot is $79,900. Here is the link for Honda dealership: www.hondacostarica.com/ The Mazda dealer in Costa Rica is Grupo Quality Motors and their website is mazda.co.cr/ Yes. They have a Ford dealer as well. The dealer is Grupo Purdy which also represents Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, VW, Ford and the Chinese brand Xpeng. This is the official Costa Rica Ford dealer website: www.ford.cr/ and Grupo Purdy: www.grupopurdy.com/es/marcas-servicios

Interesting prices in Costa Rica! I chose instead to get a great deal on a Toyota 4Runner in the U.S., and ship it to Costa Rica. You still pay the import duty, one way or another.

@CostaRicaLaw 3 ай бұрын

Hi and thanks for the comment. A 4Runner is a great vehicle for Costa Rica. It makes sense to compare importing your own versus sourcing a used one locally.

They passed a law you can import duty free
