I want to buy a car in Santiago, Chile to use it for a month. What do you think the prices would be?

Question

I already know that a new 2006 Toyota Yaris is 800,000.00 pesos ( $1576.00 ).

I want a nicer faster car, could you give me some prices please?

Its much cheaper than renting a car for a month.

Answer 1

Man, You don't really need a car to find your way around Santiago...and if you are going to be there just for a month I wouldn't recommend it.

Public transportation in Santiago is what almost everyone uses, even if they own cars. You will find buses (micros) to everywhere (believe me) even to go to other parts of Chile, and they are also very cheap.

As for your actual question, can't really help you with it, but I think that a new car will cost you way more than $1.000.000.00 chilean pesos...you could find a used one for less maybe...I would say that renting one should be cheaper than buying...and you won't have the problem that you will have to sell it fast before leaving.

Consider that...it will save you a lot of $$$ that you could use for other stuff while in there, like food, visiting nice places like "Valle Nevado" if you like the snow or Viña del Mar (beach) which is less than 2 hours away from Santiago.

Hope you have a good time while in Chile, is very beautiful.
