And before, and now there has been a significant amount in Brazil automotive factories. Many of them arose as assembly production or franchises (first of all Volkswagen and Alfa Romeo.), but your own ideas in hot brazilian guys also enough.
The picture is Troller Pantanal, one of the two main models founded in 1995 by the company for the production of SUVs. Flagship company, Troller T4 model, is essentially a copy Jeep Wrangler., Pantanal is your own development.

Hello friends! In this article, I will tell you as a foreigner to buy a car in Brazil and then leave it to other countries. Arriving in Rio de Janeiro, we had an idea to buy a car and ride on it in South America.
We began to study this question in detail and drip out on the Internet that enough information was found to our surprise. Well, with a bump of the bumps first and tell you. All about everything we spent a month! Yes, a month is a lot, but all because we started our search not as it was actually. We revealed a little on the Internet and realized that it was possible to buy a foreigner in Brazil in Brazil quite easily. Well, now it's easy, then you can choose the car - we thought. And no! Brazil is the second Ukraine and to do something serious in this country (like buy a car, house) you need to stand for a long time in the queues, seek pieces from civil servants and so on.
My advice to you, always first recognize in detail about all documents and requirements, and then look for the car. Do not rely on the reviews on the Internet that everything is easily done. Those who do not write in detail through what they have passed may not know the entire process.
Machine search in Brazil
The requirement for the car we had no high: inexpensive, roomy and most importantly to work well. We were looking for a used car on such sites: mercadolur.com.br. and olx.com.br.
The peculiarity of communicating with Brazilians is that many of them love to lie or unfurp. For example: there were cases when we agreed to a meeting to see the car from the mechanic, and the owner came to the meeting and said that the car did not go. Do you not say on the phone?! The second situation: the deceptions of such plans are very popular in Rio: the dealer lays out an attractive announcement of an existing machine. You call this announcement and you answer that the car is, it stands on the auto market, come and see. You like a bruschane rush to the outskirts of the city, you cost in traffic jams a bunch of time, come, and you are told - there are no cars. How not? Well, so, we sold it or they were taken to repair, but we have another. Here is such a trick.
The second feature is that all Brazil residents for communication use WhatsApp. Everyone uses this application, and it does not matter - this is a public servant or teenager. Our communication about the machines was mainly in social. Networks using Google Translator. We wanted to find a car in the shortest time, so many asked to immediately come to the mechanics, to which we received frequent failures. People did not understand such approaches and asked us to come to watch the car, and then if we would want to go to the mechanics. We were little worried about the state of the machines outside, so in this way many sellers were filled with themselves. For inspection of the machine with a mechanic, we paid from 20-50 Real for the car.
What you need to have a foreigner to buy a car in Brazil
In order for a foreigner to buy a car in Brazil and register her for yourself and melt CPF. The address of residence and confirmation of this (this may be an account for a communal or agreement), rights and passport.
If you buy a car, then you will have a limited amount of time driving a car in your rights (in our case, Ukrainian rights) We were told that the maximum we could drive a car in Brazil 180 days, after which the local rights would need to issue.
An organization that is engaged in reissuing the machine and issuing local rights is called deprob.
How is the machine reissue?
First owner machines goes In some kind of organization where he writes something to the similarity of the contract, that I sell such a car for such a sum. After that, you will sell buy and conclude an agreement. Before making the car on itself, the previous owner must remove it and give you documents for further design. The entire procedure for removing the machine and selling takes 1-2 days, according to local residents.
But we had a goal to buy a car in Brazil and leaving her to other countries and there was a question: "Will they release us from the country and will they let in other countries with the machine"? And this question arose after we have read about Argentina. If you decide to buy a car in Argentina and do not have a resident status you will not be released by car from the country.
Our flour began with this question! We tried to call in instances, embassies and so on - in response or vague information or insufficiently deployed answers. When questioning: "A foreigner, not a resident of the country wants to buy a car and leave on it from the country," they fell into a stupor and often answered that she got, not knowing the right answer. If only behind.
We called to the Embassy of Argentina, where we were told that we were aliens on a purchased car in Brazil, let's let down in Argentina. Well, one question disappeared. The question remains: will be released from Brazil? We specified this question from the customs service. Information about customs and useful answers you will find on this site: http://idg.receita.fazenda.gov.br/contato/receitafone-146 and by phone in Rio de Janeiro: 326271000
There we were answered that a foreigner could go from the country only with the fact that paying taxes on the export of goods. The cost of taxes they do not know and sent us to another department on these issues at: Rodrigues Alves 81 Expotacao, 114 Room Tel 3262 - 7156. This department does not give financial information on the phone, so you need to come to them. On the Internet they write that the tax fee for exporting goods is 30% of the cost.
How do government institutions of Rio de Janeiro work?
The state structure is a full nightmare and horror in the night, no one thinks about the speed of work, the feasibility of employees and no one is interested in solving your questions. None of the state. servants did not talk to english language - Do not know the Portuguese language your problems as they say.
All state. Structures at any holiday do not work. On Friday, many structures work until 14:00 - 16:00. As the Brazilians themselves say - we do not like to work!)
Due to the slowness of employees, traffic jams and not knowing the location of the structures is spent a lot of time. To make something to make you send from one office to another and so more than once.
For us, one way left to travel in South America is the temporary export of the car, with the condition that we will refund him back to the country.
Searching on the Internet information, I found here such useful resources that may be able to answer your questions:

Features of autotourism in Brazil
Usually, own car Or a motorcycle gives travelers greater freedom of choice - where to go, where to stay, how long and so on. Without the need to purchase in advance aircraft tickets, or a train or a bus, route planning can be much more flexible. You can take more things with you, more often use campgrounds and other simplified forms of overnight.
On the other hand, vehicle It is also a burden that does not allow you to quickly move from one point to another, for example, on the aircraft, it is necessary to drag it everywhere. Mosts have to meet parking problems and other specific difficulties.
For one or two people, the car travel usually costs much more expensive, moving to long distances becomes the working days of the driver, and for the night you have to stop in hotels, campsites, etc., it is less rational than using night buses or trains in reasonable doses. Even for the team of three or four people, in which everyone or almost everyone is happy to sit behind the wheel, the rationality of this choice of movement is limited to certain circumstances. With a single journey or for two, the replacement of the car on a motorcycle can slightly reduce the level of expenses, but other additional difficulties arise.
From my point of view, its own transport is best used mainly for a detailed acquaintance with a small territory, rich in interesting places and not secured developed public transport. At the same time, it is necessary to have a large amount of time in order to fully take advantage of its advantages and enjoy the freedom of clarifying plans along the way. It is not by chance that the Brazilian "four-wheeled guidebook" (intended for autotourists) in the introductory section offers several dozen regional routes, duration of 3-4 weeks, and a length mainly about 500, in rare cases 1-2 thousand km.
Brazilians are good, they can be moved to each such "area of \u200b\u200boperational action" separately, holiday vacation. And what about those who thought to slip them a few pieces at a time? The answer is simple - move between them in the main way in other ways, and the car is to rent only on the days of staying in such a locality, where it is advisable.
Summing up by these observations, I note that the territory of Brazil is too high to consider a car or a motorcycle as the main type of transport when traveling through this country, especially for the passage of the most squeezed routes with a small time budget. But its own transport has its indisputable advantages that make it a good additional tool to the main methods of movement, something like tactical weapons to the strategic species.
Roads in Brazil are good and different.
So different that there are just very good, and in a considerable amount.
For example, loaded by the BR-116 Presidente Dutra, which binds São Paulo and Rio, and on the stretching part has a duckly similar to it. And there are such places that the roads are good only by the fact that they generally found at least some.
If you look at the Brazil Roadmap, it is striking that the pattern density is experiencing a sharp jump at the border of Sao Paulo.
Even his nearest neighbors have much more rarefied road networks, and some more distant edges are almost no. It must be said that this is noticeable even from the air, if in the cloudless day carefully look into the aircraft window.
This contrast will be even stronger if only two-band highways on the map (here they are highlighted with yellow).
SP-280 is considered a benchmark. The quality of the coating, markup, etc., these two-band and many other roads of São Paulo is usually very high, but at the same time for travel on many of them you need to pay. And free alternatives are not everywhere, more precisely, they are few real alternative. Payment points are located on average every 70 km, on some tracks now began crushing up to 35 km.
Payment per kilometer is very and very different, depending on the economic model on which the concessions were issued. So, for example, at the most popular highway São Paulo - Rio, the length of about 400 km, now there are 6 payment points, three of them on the first hundred km (2.3 + 2.3 + 4.2 \u003d 8.8 real) , and on each of the remaining three hundred - one by one (9.6 real each). Thus, the passage from the end to the end it costs 37.4 Real.
The record holder of the high cost is considered the Anchieta - imigrantes (SP-150 and SP-160) supercine system connecting the metropolis of São Paulo and the coast closest to it. This impression is enhanced by the fact that the fee is taken only once and only in the direction on the descent. It is reasonably believed that in the direction of the beaches everyone goes with money, but some can come back after careless rest with empty pockets. The sum of the order of 20 reals (350 rubles) may seem to be dummy, but it should be noted that this modern complex includes 10 lanes, 6 of which are reversible and used at a more sought-after direction. All this is intertwined with 4 beams on a mountainside having an almost 800-meter ledge between the plate and the coast. The system of tunnels and viaducts makes the descent and lifting on the complex relief surprisingly simple and comfortable, especially in the case of a newer part of Immigranthes. And look at these rather impressive engineering structures from the side is also very curious.
For a sample moderation, the rates of the Federal BR-381 Fernão Dias connecting São Paulo and Belo Horizonte can be taken. For each of the sections of about 70 km long, only 1.4 real is now taking. This is from a car.
It should be noted that all tariffs are calculated in proportion to the number of vehicle axes, so heavy cargo trains are also charged with a very weighty.
Payment for the road is carried out when driving past special cabins, usually in cash, but many Visa credit cards are accepted. After receiving the cashier of the required amount, the green light comes on and the barrier opens, even if the surrender has not yet been handed over, so do not rush to automatically touch from the place until the calculation is completed. At many points of payment there are 1-2 booths through which cars drive without stopping, at a speed of up to 40 km / h
Here they are right. This is a normal location, but at some large items there are additional such stripes on the left. To use this system you need to install a special transponder, it payable service And quite an inhabile. It is often offered to a free "trial period" to one month, but this discount can not be distributed to all overlap associated with the use of this system. One way or another, it fully justifies itself during the period of intensive use, after completing it to get rid of the service and from the transponder is easy. With a rare exception, on single-band roads there is a speed limit of up to 80 km / h. On the two-band, on average up to 110 km / h, while 100 km / h can be at more intensive tracks, and only on some first-class highways (almost exclusively in São Paulo) - 120 km / h, this is an absolute maximum. Control over compliance speed \u200b\u200bregime Very uneven. On the main highways there is a considerable number of fixed radars, the location of which is published on the Internet. In addition, mobile, especially on the roads connecting the main cities with the coast, in the days of intensive movement on them (holidays, beginning-end of mass vacations).
São Paulo State Police is quite competent and not inclined to bribes. It tries to be present where it is advisable to guide and maintain order. Leads prophylactic work, stops not only violators, but also for selective verification of documents and technical status Car (tire wear).
Similar situation and in the south of the country and in other neighboring states. In Rio de Janeiro, there was a less than about order, but in recent years there is also a noticeable improvement in the situation.
Federal highways Controlled by local branches of the Federal Road Police, the style of which is usually complies with the generally accepted in this area.
From news in development road system Brazil should be noted a large-scale improvement in the quality of roads in large and very interesting states of Minas Gerais and Goyas.
Overnight and parking
In Brazil, it is not customary to stop for the night right on the side of the road or on the adjacent to it open sites. In addition, it is rather dangerous. Some filling points have large platforms on which truck drivers are stopped. And for auto travelists there are campsites, roadside hotels, as well as hotels in the city of destination. Fans of campgrounds are encouraged to join the Brazilian camping club and focus on his camping network and tariffs practiced in it.
With improvised stops for the night, optimal is the use of accosages of hotels at the entrance from the highway to any city. Pay attention to the name, the word HOTEL should be present in it. If Motel is written, then this is not the "roadside hotel", but the "place for dates" means in the present Brazil. And the periods of "recreation" are usually offered for 2-3 hours, not by day. In order of exception, some of these institutions are offered to stop and ordinary travelers for the night (pernoite), but it is better not to resort to them without much need because of the risk to be in a questionable setting.
Parking in cities are usually available in sufficient quantities. In the central quarters of large cities, there are even special multi-storey buildings for this. But in these and other places of increased demand, tariffs can be quite high.
But in small cities, the detrunities, places on the streets a lot and usually all for free. In Rio de Janeiro and the surrounding area, in many coastal cities and other "rotten" places, a muddy personality who stopped on the unguarded area of \u200b\u200bthe car often appear with a proposal to "look for the car". The rejection of their services can lead (or not lead) to apply scratches or even to the hijacking. In general, the hijack index is quite high, especially in Rio and São Paulo.
All these "charms" are much less, if you travel in the outback of the state of São Paulo, in the southern part of Minas Gerais or the south of the country. It is these territories that are the most suitable for laying automotive routes for many reasons.
Rent or buying a car
If you need to get transport for short-term travel of non-residents, then rent is the easiest solution. The most rational way of renting is individuals, if possible, familiar. This is usually much cheaper than if you resort to specialized enterprises. But it is not necessary to forget that in this case it is necessary to separately make insurance for a temporary user of the vehicle, and this may be not noone. It is also not too easy to consolidate this transaction with a relevant contract certified in the notary office. But to use someone else's car on the territory of Brazil, no power of attorney is required, it is enough to have valid documents in the hands, and that the vehicle does not mean wanted. If there are no familiar who can help with the machine, you will have to contact the office. In all Brazil, there are several large network companies that have many local competitors in the most prominent places.
It should be borne in mind that the most massive category of the car for renting, affordable almost always, is the cheapest - with a 1000 cc motor and in basic configuration. That is, without a power steering and without air conditioning. Approximate price: About 40 reals per day plus within 0.5 Real per kilometer, or about 100 reals per day without a mileage limit. Any additional requirements The configuration leads to a noticeable increase in the price, and then it makes it difficult to search.
When the car is returning at another point, it will have to pay for its reverse delivery from the calculation of approximately 1 Real per kilometer, regardless of the category.
The intersection of the State Grangue on the rented car is prohibited. The only exception is the possibility of departure to Argentina with Iguazu waterfalls if the car is rented in the border agency.
The option of buying a car and its subsequent sale can also be appropriate. Especially if a long travel and the intersection of state borders is assumed. But the design of documents on a non-resident can be too difficult, it is better in this case to have local team partners to pass a long route.
As a rule, all modern cars And even some motorcycles have "Flex" motors - see "Comparison of biofuels (ethanol) and gasoline." Diesel fuel In Brazil, used only for trucks and buses, equipment diesel engines passenger cars Forbidden. But you can meet a number of diesel SUVs or Pickups.
