Buying a new car in Cayman is easy: we have very reputable car dealers for many well known brands and you are not restricted on the number of cars per household that you can own, as is the case in other countries. We also do not have any size restrictions on cars (except Hummers, which cannot be wider than 6.7ft) and it is commonly acknowledged that 80% of cars on Cayman's roads are SUVs.

When looking for a new car it is worth considering which make and models we have dealerships for. Almost every make of car is available to purchase and you can own as many cars as you want, but there are no authorised dealers on the Island for Acura, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Citroen, Peugeot and Porsche, so getting parts for these makes can be more complicated.
It is also worth noting that there are certain things which will make a car far easier to sell when it comes time for you to sell it on: light coloured cars (cream, white and silver) sell far more easily than a dark coloured car which can struggle to stay cool (even with good air conditioning) in the heat and relentless sun of a typical day in Cayman; right hand drive cars sell more easily than left hand drive; and automatic cars sell more easily than manual.
We have very good dealerships for Audi and Volkswagen (Arch Automotive), BMW, Mini and Kia (G.T. Automotive), Chevrolet (Advanced Automotive), Ford, and Toyota (Vampt Motors), Honda, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi and Suzuki (Car City), Hyundai and SSang Yong (Prestige Motors), Land Rover, Jaguar, Renault, Subaru, Volvo and Changan (Trac Automotive). LJM Energy brings in new and used electric cars including Tesla. Below we list examples of the prices that new cars sell for in the Cayman Islands:
