Global Expat Forum: A Place for a Maker:

A South American country sounds like it might be a good fit.

Colombia: Moving to Colombia HELP ME PLEASE:

Is this accurate regarding visas and paperwork? Sounds a little fishy to me ...

Colombia: Going to checkout Medellin:

I can vouch for the drinking culture ... your friend will be fine. :)

Colombia: shipping my car from USA to Colombia:

As far as taxes, yeah that's going to be costly. Shipping is expensive too so make sure you know what you're getting into. As others have said, there are limits as to how old the car can be if it's going to be imported too. The best option may be to contact a company that does this type of work so that you know for sure. One company I know of, A-1 Auto Trans Incorporated https://www.a1autotransport.com/ship-car-to-colombia.php ships regularly from the U.S. to South America. I've not used them before, but others I know have and said they were good. I'd gather a list of questions after some research and give them a call to see if you've got all the bases covered.
