The Association of Automotive Dealerships in Argentina (ACARA) reported that their survey shows that the amount of money needed to buy a car has almost doubled, projecting an increase of 80% over 2018 prices by the end of 2021.
ACARA says inflation, wage delays, and rising prices for new cars make it difficult for car buyers in the country. A comparable VW costs 30% more in Argentina than it does in next-door Brazil.
