Its located in Costa Rica, thats why its expensive.
My wife is from Costa Rica and we lived down there for about two years, cars and especially SUV's are very expensive. Its almost double the cost of a vehicle here. I also brought three vans in for an NGO that we drove from LA and the import taxes were close to the vehicles worth and the cost to get them there was another 3k.
In fact my wifes cousin just bought a "great deal" a 95 Honda Passport completely stock for 10k.
Just a different location is all, that is a very reasonable price down there.
