I still have not contacted my former agent, my father was an agent himself, but, I know the Honduran Goverment is and has been charging taxes labeling those cars as luxury, won´t happen with a pick-up, but, still don´t know if it would be that much, let me have an answer back and how much would the taxes be next year.
Best Regards

Cesar:
I have th e VIN # if you will need it, as we have the
title. Also For Your Information, the amount we paid
for the vehicle incl;uded local sales tax, title fee,
Texas registration, delivery, and a number of smaller
fees included. I am waiting for a breakdown from the
dealer, as I hate to pay duty on all of the sales
taxes we paid here as well as all of the other fees.I
only the amount on the check for the total, "out the
door "as the dealer says,cost.
Also we just heard that the vehicle Must go to TGU to
be cleared.a
Again I ask, if we wait until 2008, will the duty rate
go down any?
We can for sure rent a car for the amount of time we
expect to be there the rest of this year, we expect to
be there for about a week or 2 in August to move our
furniture in, and then again in November for other
reasons.
Thanks for your help
