Bringing Car Into The Country

[ben]

I was walking down Gallo the other day and I saw a car here with Florida plates.

Anyone knows what's the deal with bringing a US (or other foreign) car here? What catch is involved? How long can it stay in the country? etc.

Depends on several issues,Which will determine length of stay, MErcosur has special treatment

1. License Plate of the Car/ Country
   
2. Value of the Car
   
3. If is driven into Argentina or arrives by boat as an import
   
4. The migratory status of the driver i.e Resident, tourist Argentine returning.
   
5. Etc

Must check with Customs AFIP for specifics

Best to contact a reputable despachante ( customs broker ) to get the latest greatest most current information. I brought Bertha , my beautiful 1988 BMW 635 Csi in last year. No problems or surprises. Just lots of cold hard cash.

I brought my Ferrari here, no problem. I was told it would be trickier for my helicopter though.

yes, the problem has been resolved. And its not any fault of the landlord that Toshiba does not sell spare parts. A smart technician was able to resolve the matter by found a similar part of another company.

But my point was something else. You went tangent. You sound jeolous/envious that I was able to get a good apartment without a garantia.
