"go a long way"

Question

In this context: "American dollars go a long way in Mexico."

Answer 1

I've seen "to go a long way" translated as "cunde mucho", meaning they are really worth in Mexico, they can buy many thing with American dollars. It would be then something like "Los dólares americanos cunden mucho en México" or "tienen mucho valor/valen mucho en México".

Answer 2

"Cundir mucho" is a good one. We also use often "dar para mucho" in that context (but not in others).

Answer 3

Muchas gracias, eso era exactamente lo que buscaba!

Answer 4

What about: te llevaría lejos
