I'm just saying what I saw back in 2001. For example, IF they were using a
2005 Blue Book and you were importing a 2005 model in 2007, it would be
valued as a new car. A 2004 model would be valued as if it was only one year
old. As far as a 2007 model, I have no idea if they use the 2005 new car
price or add on to it or what. I was just relaying the crazy thing that I
saw. I don't know if they have current books now or not.
As far as I could tell in our situation, the price paid for the car or its
mileage don't factor into the situation at all. The duty on my husband's car
was MORE than it cost, but it was already here in the port so there wasn't
much we could do. We relied on someone who told us the duty would be around
$800. The whole aduana, port, tramitadora thing was one of my worst Honduran
nightmares and I hope I never have to experience it again.
Everyone says that buying in Honduras IS cheaper than importing a car if you
have to pay the import duty. I'm not sure why that is since the tariffs,
whatever they are, are set by law and should be the same no matter who is
bringing the vehicle into the country. Regardless, I'll be buying my cars in
Honduras in the future and I guess that is what the tariffs are designed to
make you do.
