I actually know someone who bought a car to tour the US. He was from NZ and I met him while I was touring that country. He told me he did it (this was several years ago) by misrepresenting some information (OK, he lied about a number of things). That how he was able to registered the car. Still he drove without insurance. So I think you'd be taking some risk to buy a car and hope to sell it back in some later day. You can of course rent a car to tour around the US. Plenty of people do that, and it's perfectly legal. Can anyone help ? has anyone done this before? many thanks Graham |

That's interesting. They are not very forthcoming with information on the website. I'm curious whether the vehicle is bought in the traveller's name. If so, I don't understand how it can be legal. Maybe it's more a leasing service. They have absolutely no clue on any of their pages as to how it works. -------- Barbara Vaughan I don't think that it can be a lease since several of the testimonials refer to selling to a dealer at the end with one doing so because an individual buyer could not be found. You're right they don't say much in detail. The mechanics of "The Arctic Ocean to the Straits of "Magellan" would frighten me but it may just be PR bull since the testimonials all refer to the US & Canada. FFM |
