When we moved here about 1 and a half years ago we brought 4 of our cars for us. A 07 Yukon XL Denali, 06 RX400h, 06 325i, and a Honda Ridgeline. We had to pay 5% of the cars value and shipping costs thats it, plus another 5% for insurance.
There are a few countries that charge 100% when you import a car. I think the prices in Jordan might not be as high, but then again I have no idea.
And IMO, I would not import it if I had to pay over $15k let alone $50k. The warranty on an imported car is a hassle. You have to pay for every small problem and they do not honor the international warranty. I have experience with BMW, GMC, Lexus, and Honda.
BMW wouldn't even honor a known recall on 3 series tires, and I had the car sit at the dealer for 2 months because I needed tires and they said they were backordered. I finally had them shipped from the US and paid double, but it had to be done.
