Welcome to the forums. Leasing pretty much doesn't exist here for expats. You can purchase with just your passport if you have money.

Crufman can help you find a good vehicle.

I just bought a brand new car at a dealer and the only thing they asked for was my passport. I paid in full through wire bank transfer. My bank in USA (Bank of America) charged US$45 for the transaction and my bank here (Banreservas) charged me us$25 for a total of US$70. They did ask me to fill out some papers showing where did I get the money from. It was a super simple transaction. I tried to bring my car from the US but it was too expensive and too much hassle and not worthy to me. But have in mind that cars here are super expensive!!!
