Hello fellow aut/o/bots,
Looking to visit the US next year and want to buy a car. Prices seem comparable to hiring a car, but with a lot more freedom.
Crown vic seems to be the weapon of choice as we will be road tripping around the country, they seem to tick every box and be pretty reasonably priced and available on craigslist/ebay etc.
How would an individual, being a non-resident, legally purchase and drive a car? I understand that it is different for each state, so this is mainly regarding California, as that would be where we will fly in and would want to get the car there to start our road trip.
Also where should we stop and visit along the way? Plan on being in the US for 2-3 weeks, drive from west coast to east coast

Plan on spending a bit of time in the middle of nowhere and tiny little backwoods towns that have nothing other than a bar
just rent a car
it's a lot cheaper and you'll get a better car
i don't know where you're getting the information that "hiring" one is comparable

But rental agencies only offer econosedans, crossovers and the occasional Mustang.

you're only spending three weeks there
do you really want to spend that time dealing with expected unexpected typical used car garbage?
also, you're going to the usa, you can rent any car you want

This.
V8 sedans arent as popular in america as they are here. Might be able to get a 300c or something but it doesnt seem like you can choose your engine config just looking at the website

I largely agree, but if i go down the crown vic route i can remove the springs and exhaust, & not give a fuck about the car. Possibly sell it for something at the end of the trip.
On the other hand a newer car that i dont have to worry about breakdowns or such would be pretty nice too.
