Billy, that has already being pursued, but unfortunately once you make it to octogenarian status, and are a non resident, it is not that simple. Daughter explored that option, and even though she is not exactly living from cheque to cheque, even she said it was ridiculously expensive and the conditions attached were attrocious.
Still I have managed to get a vehicle for a month, with the option of extending it month by month for less then US$2600. Being able to pay in my card's currency, is an extra bonus. None of those bank foreign currency fees and conversion fees.
Yeah! it breaks my heart, but I think I now have a good deal and plan to make the most of it..... who knows, it could very well be my last.
