I want to buy a cheap used car, maximum 1.5k with resonable miles in the
us. i think that new york is a good place to do that, because of the papers
that u need, but i'm a forreign student who is in the us just for the
summer and i don't have a us driver licence (only the one from Romania,
that is allowed for driving in the us) and neither a stable residence (i
stay in a hostel). so, if anyone knows exactly the laws and can help me
with infos about how can i register a car for 2 months (because i'm
planning to sell it after 2 months) concerning my status, i'd really
appreciate. please.. :ohcrap: thx (if u know where can i get a cheap used
car i'd appreciate that adive also)

I don't think you'll have a problem registering a car for 2 months, but you
might have problems with insuring it, I would stop into a local car
insurance company and tell them your situation.
To find a cheap car, a good place to look is Craigslist.com and then search
your area.

I think it would be easier to just rent long-term from any rental company.
It wouldn't be very expensive, insurance wouldn't be a major issue, and
it's allowed with an international license in most places. Much less of a
hassle too!

just wondering, do you have any idea how big the U.S. is? If you are going
to buy a car in NY because it is cheaper, it will cost you a lot of mony in
time and gas if you plan on going to Texas. keep in mind it could take you
half a day to drive across NY.
I do agree with giant016 though, it could be rather difficult to get
insurance without a perminant address.

that's what i'm here for, to visit and see all the country, so it doesn't
matter how long it'll take me to get to the west coast, for now i just need
to register the car, 'cause i found one and now all i need to do it's
register it, but in order to do that i've been told that i have to get a ny
driver licence... and i'd happly get it, but my social security number
hasn't arrived yet, so i can't :( :ohcrap:

unfortunately, if you rent, you will need to have valid liability,
collision and comprehensive insurance with a rider providing your policy's
coverages for you if you drive a car owned by someone else. Make sure the
car insurance from your country of origin is valid in the U.S. (for
examples, U.S. car insurance is not valid in Mexico and Mexican car
insurance is not valid in the U.S. although short term policies are
available from carriers in both countries. On the other hand, Americans
and Canadians drive in each others countries all the time covered by their
car insurance companies at home)
You can purchase certain coverages from the car rental company but it costs
you a small fortune per day.

Talk with an insurance company and your rental car company and see if they
can help.

Call up your local RMV or DMV (registry or department of motor vehicles).
They will be able to answer all of your questions.
