Haven't needed to "escape" from Uruguay, but one thing that is common to many countries is they issue a TVIP - Temporary Vehicle Import Permit - which has details of the vehicle and the driver who drove it in. When you drive it out, they may actually check that the details match. In that case, since all the paperwork may not match, a Poder might be required to satisfy the officer that the vehicle isn't stolen and that you have permission to drive it.. However, seems that in most cases they barely glance at the TVIP so there is no problem.
One thing to check is that if by "having your name on the title" you mean that the seller is going to enter info in all the fields needed to get the sale ratified back in the states, this of course means that the title shows clear proof that the sale has been made in Uruguay and that may not be accepted. Just extrapolating from the situation in Argentina so may be irrelevant for Uruguay - but long-time member here Xfiltrate maintains that it is not possible to transfer a foreign vehicle between foreigners in Argentina. Obviously it does happen - over and over - but legally he is right so some caution is advised.
