Hello There,

I am about to drive down from Cali to El salvador with a old 4 runner (1990).. Id like to sell it in Guatalema or el Salvador.. Is it a lot of hassle? I heard your passport gets flagged in Mexico if you do that. What about El salvador or Guatalema?

Thank you!!

I drove down to El Sal a few years back and found it's a huge hassle to sell my car. To sell it legally, you have to import it. And the car you mentioned is too old to import into either ES or Guate. Your only option is to sell it to a foreigner who will only use it for the time that it has current registration in the US and will return to the US to reregister it. I don't know about Mexico. That being said, there is always someone who will buy a car illegally, but then the price goes down to something ridiculous (I imagine someone would take it off your hands for well under $1000). But then at that point, it might be better to just drive it home? Depend on your priorities, I guess...

El Salvador only allows the car in the country for 60 days then you have to take it out or pay a daily fine when you get caught. Been there, done that but I ha a bus I was able to sell to a church.
