I'd get in touch with any of the major USA car rental companies and discuss a 2 - 3 month rental. If you are willing to spend $8K to $10K USD on transportation you can easily rent a nice car for $500/week ($6,000 for 3 months) in the USA. The rental company could care less how long you rent it for. You'll spend 5 days out of your trip just dealing with purchase, insurance, titling and registration; I doubt you can even buy and legally register and insure a car if you just have a tourist visa and without a US State drivers license.

Just goofing around on Hertz, as an example, you can rent a Mercedes SLK 250 for $1,750 USD per month. If you rent then you can switch cars as often as you like as well. Coming over and buying a car for 3 months use doesn't make much sense.

Have fun when you get here, we have a great country (especially to drive in) despite what you may have recently heard. And make sure your trip includes the drive from Glacier National Park down to Yellowstone National Park.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
