Brazil: In the market to purchase a car:

Cars are indeed expensive in Brazil, there are two types really, locally made and imported. The latter, just like the Jeep are quite a bit more expensive, so for just a normal family car best to buy local made. Fiat, VW, Ford and Chevy all make locally, although they are completely different to what you normally would expect, you can still buy a new car in Brazil with wind up windows, no power steering etc etc. Until you know what you are doing, best to buy from a dealer. You will have to pay for the transfer of ownership and you need to be sure there are no fines attached to the car as they stay with the car not the previous owner like here in UK, so it's possible to buy a car, own it and then find out it has thousands of reais in fines to pay and you will have to pay them. I ended up with a Ford Ecosport, three years old, 1.6 flex engine, so far so good., I paid about R$35000 for it. Hope this helps.
