2019 JL Hits Costa Rica

[flipboltz]

Check this out. I was in San José at the Jeep dealership getting the oil changed in my JL and there was a 2019 JLU Sahara on the showroom. I went to look at it and saw the spec sheet. This is a nice new Jeep being sold for $85,900. This is US Dollars!!!! The import tax down here on vehicles is outrageous!

We just finished up the import process on our 2018 JL and the Jeep is now legal in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Hey, I am moving to Costa Rica and curious to know if the import process was hectic and expensive? How much taxes you ended up paying for your JL?

Yeah, cars in the US are pretty inexpensive compared to many countries.

Same here in the UK, you wouldn't believe the price!
Still couldn't help myself though!!!

I think there's literally countries where importing a Jeep would cost 3x what it costs in the US. I.e., $50k Rubi would be $150k after taxes. For instance, a base sport in India is over $100k USD. There's some pretty cool places to use it there too. But when you have that many people and the government is trying to discourage private car ownership, that's what happens.

Chop it in the states then bring it in.

Nikk are you aware of any companies that rent Wranglers? Each time I’ve gone I didn’t find any. Rented an Mitsubishi Montero through Mapache and a small Isuzu(?) year other time. I actually used 4WD both times and had a blast. Wish I’d had a Wrangler.
