Airside transit at EZE is a possibility, but even then how likely is it that the combined cost of an EZE-MVD flight + ground transport costs to Buenos Aires is going to be much cheaper than simply paying the visa recirpocity fee + ground transport costs to the center of the city?

Given the cost in time and money of going via MVD instead of just to EZE, I just don't see this being a very good option.

This will too often be yet another collection of long lines to make a lousy impression upon visitors.
