I am looking to buy a Range Rover in LA as I will be there for 3 months from October but I am being messed about by the dealers there as they think I want to export the car.

Any locals and advise?

Ideally via Horburg or a dealer close to Beverly Hills.

I have a 3 month lease on a property and from what I have been told I can title a car to this address as I have an official lease. I will be paying cash and using my international licence. I will most probably leave the car there and will use it when I return in June/July for another 3 to 4 months.

So you should be good to go then - waving your lease under the dealers nose should do the trick. Is your non-US drivers license in written in English?
Good point!! It comes in 2 parts. Monaco and International but it's actually in french but it's pretty easy to understand. I have copies of my old UK Licence which I had to hand back.

I'd be very surprised if any US LR dealer will sell you a new Range Rover.

We have a massive problem at the moment with cars being purchased by "shills" acting on behalf of exporters. When that happens it costs the dealership big time. You raise so many red flags that I would not risk selling you a vehicle if you came to me.

In addition to the above the cars are still in very short supply so even finding one that is unsold will not be easy. That compounds your problem because where cars are in such short supply why take the chance of selling one to someone who appears to be a risk.
I'm very risky!!
