The 408 is a nice car and relatively inexpensive. I mean comparing to the C6. Have you looked into the VW range?

Posts: 754Queso . Have you looked into a credito prendario from a bank? The Santander Rio I think has reasonable (by Argentine standards) loans for purchasing cars. I think you need to have something like 15% of the value. The interest rate is also somewhere between 28 and 29% but you get the car immediately and don't have to go through the stupid lottery games and so on.

I have a Mondeo. It's a great car but you can buy two Megans for the same price. The fully equipped one is well over 250 thousand pesos and don't forget every spare part you buy will cost 4 times a local product. Plus, as imports are highly restricted, if they don't have the part here it will take weeks, even months for the dealer to get it.
They are made in Belgium but as from 2013 they will also be made in the US. In the US they will be called Ford Fusion. The old Mondeo (Mk2 late 90s. Early 2000s) was also built in the US and known as the Ford Contour. If that can be used as a reference I dearly hope they import the Belgium made cars to Argentina and not the American ones. The difference in quality between the European built cars and the American ones was enormous both in technology as in manufacture.

Of course, he wasn't very clear, and I can sort of understand why. As he told me at one point, they've been doing this for 50 years, everyone already pretty much understands it. But they're also aware (at least many are) that things are not necessarily so convoluted and difficult and expensive in other places in the world. More than once, he looked at me after a couple of my exclamations of surprise, shrugged his shoulders, and said (sheepishly)"this is Argentina."

I have no idea why they would have been laughing at a "no sale." It makes no sense or cents.
Do they offer Leasing in this country? An unknown practice that would leave a local flabbergasted! What do you mean I have to give it back in 3 years and that It's not mine? Maybe they do offer something like that. What about a million dollar tractor? How do you buy those?
Hey Cheese, have you ever seen the Ford Mondeo? Best looking Ford on the road, built in Belgium I think.
That one would be worth buying.

This is similar to the way the Arab world admired Tariq Aziz (the now former Iraq Foreign Minister) when he stood in front of the news cameras denying that the Americans had reached Baghdad, even as American armored vehicles paraded behind him. In their eyes he was a hero for "standing up" to the Americans.
