'“Last week’s agreement made Argentina give priority to non automatic licences applied on agriculture machinery from multinational corporations established in Brazil”, according to Argentine sources.'

I would be even better if priority were given to products made in Brasil by Brasilian companies - in this way maximum profit would accrue to Brasil and *stay in* Brasil.

What a way to run a car business,
Why not just do the following.
1, donate the cars to Britain for FREE
2, buy the 11,700 cars back from Britain, helps us
3, then resell them to brazil, adding 20% to cover cost to Britain
4, Brazil sells the cars to people, add 25% to cover costs to Argentina
5, hey presto everybody wins, [simple or what ???}

No problems with the Brasilian manufactured & assembled VW, Ford, Citroen, GM, Fiat, Toyota, etc.
Service centres are usually good.
Spares often take a while to reach Bahia - but this is Bahia!
Much better in SP, of course, where you can get Land Rovers off the forecourt; but these, like Mercs, are imported at at least 60% mark-up, rather than produced here.
The key thing to look for is ground-clearance; potholes appear daily like mushrooms, fill with water and are of scareiley (?) unknown depth when you hit them;
and the lombadas are vicious! (So are the sleeping policemen ; )
