Travelling with a car owned by somebody else
Hello,
I am a Romanian planning a RTW trip by Land Cruiser and I have the following problem: because of the stupid Romanian tax system, there are extremely large taxes to be paid when purchasing an old vehicle. I intend to buy my car from a guy I know, so that I can go around making the official papers and skip the taxes. The problem with this is that I won't be the official owner of the car. I intend to get a legalized paper in which he basically grants me the right to use the car in every way i see fit, but it will still be his car, according to the law.
My question to you is: do you think this will be a problem at the various border crossings, for example in Africa or South America or in any other situation? Do you have any experience in overlanding with a vehicle you didn't own on paper? Is it even possible?
I would very much appreciate your answers.
Thank you,
Alex
