IMPORTING A CAR

I was pretty amazed to see 1999- 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokees selling in the medillin paper for $32,000,000. Thats almost $20,000 USD isn't it? Well I sense my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in the states with about 70,000 miles is worth about $7500 USD with gas prices as high as they are. Can anyone do the numbers and tell me if this would be an instance where you might want to import a car into Columbia. Finally, what determines the value of taxation and fees to import; the market value in USA or in Columbia?

Thanks in advance!

You can not import a used car permanently to Colombia, the only way you can do it is if you have been in consular service overseas and bring the car with your belongings the other way is if you are importing a classic car before 1984 I believe but the car has to be 100% original and it can not be any car, in other words is a NO NO to bring a used car to Colombia, brand new cars you can import but the taxes you have to pay are way to high.

Depends if it can be classified as antique or collectible by DIAN.
