Good Luck.
Cuba's government is making it easier Cubans to buy foreign made, new and used cars. The Havana Times reports that: "The Council Ministers Cuba decided its current meeting to open the retail sale new and used motorcycles, cars, vans and minibuses." It added that the government would also "prioritize bicycle sales the retail market" and offer them very affordable prices. New laws mean the government is further relaxing regulations car ownership. Until 2011, people were not permitted to sell cars that were made the 1959 Cuban revolution. This made Havana look like it was a time warp as every car the road was a vintage model yesteryear.

The Cuban government will set and control the price all imported and new vehicles. It will also be the only entity that can import foreign cars the country. Cubans will need to buy an imported car the government. According to the Communist Party newspaper, all profits sales will go towards improving Cuba's roads and transportation system. Car dealers are not anticipating a huge influx sales. Most people Cuba cannot afford to buy even a used car, let alone a new one. Havana resident Jorge Canso commented this, saying: "Yeah, I can buy one, but what? Unfortunately our economy doesn't allow us to save money to be able to buy one."
