Just try to get you car repaired here. You have to go out and try to find parts because dealerships don't have them and cannot get them. Every damn thing in this country is a battle...everything.

AGAIN?

I thought they had done this 1, 2, 3 or 4 times already!

Argies, you just cannot trust them to keep their word.

Even with the SOY proceeds the BCRA reservers are not building. They have no U$ for imports. I think they are sitting on U$6B in payments due right now.
It's not going to happen I don't know why the Brazilians are wasting their time.
Their time would be much better spent getting the car mfgs in Arg to move to Brazil.
Problem solved.

The soy proceeds may well be affected by market conditions in China.

Silly Brazilians, when will you learn that an Argentines word is worthless. It sounds like Dilma has finally had enough of her though.

“Argentina absorbs 20% of Brazilian car exports”

and Brasil absorbs 85% of Argie car exports.

How long will Brasil's good grace hold?

Just goes to show what a failure the Mercosur trade agreement has been.....the RG government doesn't think twice about ignoring the rules or trying to change them whenever they have a problem...can't be trusted.
