After over fifteen months of decline, the number of new cars registered in Argentina in March 2000 rose by 16.9 percent vis-ŕ-vis March 1999. Of this total, 58.5 percent were purchased under the now discontinued government Exchange Plan that allowed owners to turn in any vehicle over ten years for dismantling and obtaining a discount of $4,840 towards the purchase of a new car. During 1999, Brazilian auto part exports to Argentina declined by 32 percent, due primarily to a drop of demand in Argentina. (references)

Longbridge is well-aged, and productivity is low compared to other plants, and the Rover 25 and 45 will need to be replaced in a few years, which will require investments of up to $1.5 billion per model.
