Pfft. This isn't new.
If you think that's high, you'd be shitting yourself here in the Netherlands. The 2010 550i costs 94,000euros or $128,000 without any options.
It's even worse in some scandinavian countries.

Sadly it's true.
'05 350Z "touring". Also included a TT aftermarket kit installed in dealer's partner (US$30.000 max). The deal there were ridiculous taxes over luxury items, alcohol and others. Truly I don't know the policies in Ecuador now, but consider it's a pretty unstable government.
In facts his father has an M6, it was over US$300.000.

Well, a 996 GT2 new in Taiwan IIRC, is about 700K.
So one might argue that people who buy foreign cars in these countries are actually patriots for the amount of money that they pay in tariff.
It also shows how useless this whole WTO thing is. I mean, it can't even get countries to reduce tariff to U.S. levels. Imagine how many more cars everyone can sell if all these countries had U.S. style tariff, which IIRC, is like 2% or something low.

I don't know what's US policy about used cars imports, at least in Chile it's very restricted (handycap, diplomatics, inmigrants). For new cars you have to pay about 30% in taxes.
