I have a car 'sold' to me this way in Ushuaia. Right now i've got it in Buenos Aires. When i tried to take it on the ferry to Uruguay i was told i couldn't because the customs form's listing of who drove it in to the country didn't match my name. They told me they COULD seize the car but didn't seem to indicate that i was in any danger. I was told to go back to the main customs office in Buenos Aires and try and resolve the problem.

The problem with this in argentina is apparently the person who brings the car in to argentina must either leave with it or go to a customs office and request permission for the new driver 'owner' to leave the country with it.

I haven't resolved my problem yet, but it's sobering to read somebody had their camper seized.
