The article provides an overview of the process and costs associated with the transfer of used vehicles in Argentina as of February 2026. It notes that the Government introduced changes in 2025 that reduced some fees and simplified parts of the transfer process. However, various taxes and charges still apply, which depend on the jurisdiction where the vehicle is registered and where the buyer resides.
The transfer of ownership is a critical step, as it not only confirms the new owner’s rights over the vehicle but also releases the seller from any future civil, criminal, or tax responsibilities related to the vehicle. This process can be initiated either at the registry where the vehicle is currently registered or at the registry corresponding to the buyer's domicile, emphasizing accessibility to facilitate these transactions.
The article underscores the importance of understanding both the costs involved and the required documentation for these transfers, especially considering they remain a common bureaucratic task for many Argentine citizens. With ongoing changes and updates to regulations, it serves as a resource for individuals looking to navigate this aspect of vehicle ownership efficiently.
