    Real Estate - expenses on top of sale price

    Could you not simply buy usdt at a marginal cost and then withdraw the cash here? I payed 0.5% to with draw $1000+ dollars through a local cuerva last week, 0.25 for sums of $5000+. Surely you could just deposit that into a dollar account here or some safety deposit box?

    CEPO is lifted

    So say the peso does shoot up 20%, does this mean that the vendors will increase prices by that? Which in turn everything becomes 20% more expensive in dollars because we have been enjoying the blue rate all this time?

    Best way to pay now?

    You can withdraw dollars and pesos using crypto here easily and safely. Better rate than WU, although I still use them if I'm in a jam.

    Milei says Argentina has no right to the Islas Malvinas

    Fancy expanding your view or are we supposed to be in awe and guess at your sweeping generalisations? Specifically Anglo and to a more interesting extent "US meddling"? Or the wider issues for all of South America?

    Owning vehicle BA

    Out of interest do they run a system of no claims discount like they do in the UK(not sure if its a thing in the US/rest of the world)?

    Cash or credit?

    This is the real difference not 20%. Although you will get discounts at various places with cash but it depends whether you can be bothered finding a cambio and changing up the money/carrying cash around etc.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I went to Marcos Paz recently for some relaxation with friends and in the small town there were so many butchers you couldn't swing a cat with hitting one.

    Has anyone tried MercadoLibre International?

    I hope you are right, I read some things through Amazon could be damaged and nothing on ML international. Would be good to hear of any real experience as it does drive me up the wall.
