Tallyman, first you have to realize that all cars hold value in Argentina but the cars that are made in Argentina are the cheapest. 237 for a Honda CRV is about right. Even a used CRV old style can run you around 50,000 pesos. We know someone who ... Read More

Julien, I agree, smells of advertising a business. It's not true that all Argentines are bad to deal with. Some may try to take advantage of you (but what's new with that though because no matter where you go in the world - expats and tourists most ... Read More
