Daniel,
I thought about doing the same thing a few months back, but heard about much red tape. The people at the Argentinean Auto Club said it was a no-go and nobody understood anything about the appropriate paperwork. That being said, I did buy a bike in Chile and got everything done by the book, including all papers in my name and an official extranjero residency card (like a social security number). I crossed all borders with little trouble (sometimes they didn’t exactly understand my situation, but with the papers all was cool!) and have been having a wonderful trip. I know they aren’t the deals in Argentina, but I know it can be done. If you do succeed in Argentina (which is something I am sure you can do!), please put up a post to let others know what to do…that would be great.
Ciao
ben
