In Patagonia: The Cost of Cars in Argentina

The Cost of Cars in Argentina

IS INSANE!

Just check this out: the going rate for Ford Econoline vans in Argentina, aka our beloved Mission Mobile.

(just divide by 4 to get the dollar amount).

IN-SANE.

A 1981 Ford Econoline for $10,500.

No joke.

A 1995 Ford Econoline for $24,000.

Seriously?

Oh, and my favorite - a Classic '67 Ford Econoline for.... $8,000???

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

So basically, if we don't take a car, we'll never be able to afford one there. Ever.

Oh, Lord, make a way...!

Katie said...: The price of cars here is just beyond ridiculous. It's probably a good move for you and Tony to bring your own vehicle - be prepared for some "fun" in customs though.; April 16, 2011 at 11:16 PM

romans 10:11-17

"Whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Luke 12:27-34

"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
