Do NOT buy used cars in Paraguay by GuestPoster791

If you are thinking about buying a car or truck in Paraguay, STOP. The short advice is that don’t do it. At least don’t buy anything used. Spending years in Latin America has thought me that don’t trust a soul when it comes to any vehicle and that ...

MobileRover

Yep, totally agree. It may be expensive to ship your own car in, but that's exactly why it's worth it if you can do your own repairs (and find parts!). If anyone is considering vehicle shipping, I can't recommend ... Read More

Magic jack is the best bet, we've had a lot of success with it. Internet is fairly reliable but can crash and burn unexpectedly. Many properties have the equivalent of "party lines" for their internet, even if it seems you have a ... Read More

Taking my dog with from SA to Florida? by schmorgm123

Anybody from Orlando florida? I need to know about taking my dog with from SA to Florida? What is the easiest to do this?

There's companies that ship animals humanely. You might want to look into that--not sure how it works internationally. Just make sure you've got all the proper shots, etc. Read More

Is it worth shipping a used car to Argentina? by drken

I'll be moving to the US with my wife and 3 small children next year. I want to bring our vehicle with us. Does anyone have any experience shipping a used car to Argentina? Is it worth it? Where do I get answers; costs, time, misc expenses...

As others have pointed out, the import tax is quite high and I believe there are also some limits based on engine size, age of the vehicle, etc. Best place to get answers is probably from the customs department, as Wynwoods mentioned. If you're ... Read More
