Yes, you can buy a car or bike with a DTV visa in Thailand. While you do not need a visa to purchase a vehicle, registering it in your name requires a certificate of residence from Immigration. This certificate typically necessitates completing a 90-day report. Additionally, having a Thai driver's license and funds (preferably in cash) are essential for the purchase process.

Yes, Certificate of residency issued a week after arriving on a DTV and registered a car a few days later.
No, the seller wants to see money and the registration office wants to see a residents certificate which you will get with any permission to stay or visa which has still 30 days before expiry.
You don't need any kind of visa to buy a vehicle. But if you want to register it in your name you need a "certificate of residence" from the Immigration. And to get this you need to do a 90 day report first (officially). Since you can stay longer than 90 consecutive days with a DTV the answer is yes, you can. If your local Immigration has different requirements and you face any problems you can use an agent as well.
