Hi, now when i live here in Buenos aires for at least a year, i really need a car, but so far what iīve heard its necessary to have your DNI, which i dont have. Is there some other alternative except for renting a car? Or some recomendations of cheap longterm renting firms? thank you! | ||

Wait, do they ask for a DNI when buying a car? And for driver's license can't you use your foreign one? I can't see the DNI being an obstacle. Please detail. | ||

you dont need your dni when you purchase the car but when they register the car thats when you need your dni. we registered our car under my father-in-law's name and used his dni. do you know anyone you trust that can register teh car for you? | ||

Yes Roberto, its needed to have your dni when you register the car, but u can drive with your foreign license, but just for a year. @Lara yes, thats an alternative, maybe i got a friend that can accept that, thanks! | ||

hi guys, couldnīt solve that way, i mean that a Argentine friend can own it. So i got the recomendation to go to Uruguay to buy the, you can buy just passport. Do you think there will be any problems bringing the car into Argentina? | ||

Don't know, but a general piece of advise... you will be dealing with customs on your return and that more often than not means headaches. Research this thoroughly. I am adding, there are a lot of restrictions when it comes to import/exports. You will very likely be charged some kind of import duties/tariffs which may bring the cost of the car up substantially. All countries in south america have signed all kind of different foreign exchange treaties and most merchandise is subject to some kind of regulation. For your guidance, the savvy traders who do things like this usually know the customs code inside out and bring in items under specific categories to avoid ridiculous costs or other problems. Best advise, find a "despachante de aduana" that may clear this up for you. (Message edited by admin on August 08, 2007) |
