Buying a car abroad
for an independent trip

This option is worthwhile only in The United States or Australia.
It's pays off to buy a car
only when the trip is above month. The calculation is made by the
worst case scenario: It's worth buying a car even if you don’t sell
it at all, because it will still be cheaper than renting a car for
that time period.
Its best to buy a car in south America and sell it in the north
because it rains less in the south, the car will be less rusty and
the north will appreciate it. You need to take in account that you
must clear a few days of your trip in your origin city in order to
look for a car, and to find a buyer in the end of it. In order to
save some time, there are some garages that will assist you in
checking the car before you buy and maybe find you a seller.
The risk in this method is in case of a malfunction in the car, the
trip will pause for a while because you're stuck, and it might cost
you a lot of money to repair. If you rent a car instead, the
renting company assists you and therefore shortens the waiting.
Vehicles can be found at a reasonable price which varies from 1500
to 2500 U.S dollars (there are cheaper, but they are much older).
You need to keep that the odometer, its highest value would be up
to 190000 kilometers (120,000 miles).
After you buy a car, remember that you must make an insurance and
buy a new license plate (personal).
