I am an American that will be traveling to SA this summer. I want my freedom to roam where I wish to and renting a vehicle is something I do not want to do. Is it legal in Ecuador for a tourist to purchase a used vehicle? If so...How long does it take to get the FINAL documents in hand? I also would like to know...if I decide to keep the car would there be any problems with exporting it out to the USA? NOT concerned about the USA aspect of it because I am aware of the requirements there. Mainly looking at the Ecuador side of things. Any help would be great. Thxs, Dan
