It is also possible to get Estonian Personal Code for a non-EU foreigner. I know about two ways of doing it:
1) to request in person in Estonian Police
In this case you'll have personal code assigned to you, although you won't have any ID issued.
2) to request Estonian e-Residency card through their Embassy, it costs 100+ euros and you need to wait, but you'll get the card which works similar to other Estonian IDs (and personal code will be written on the card).
You supposed to use it as a tool to sign into e-gov services to register a business, but you can also use it for some other services. I assume registering vehicle on your own name would work if you have someone as Estonian resident to be your representative.
I went with option 2 some time ago. I didn't try to register vehicle, but turned out it was very useful in 2021 when I was able to get local EU-approved covid shots in order to get EU vaccination certificate (which has helped me with cross-border mobility at the time very well, when I stuck in Russia with only Sputnik vaccine).
