Have anyone got issue with buying a car with DTV visa ? Can you do that legally ?
Answer summary
Yes, you can legally buy a car in Thailand even if you hold a DTV visa or are visa exempt. The required documentation includes a certificate of residence obtained from the immigration office, which is necessary for vehicle registration at the Department of Land Transport (DLT). Comments from the community confirm that having a visa is not a prerequisite for purchasing a vehicle.

Just so you're clear, you can buy a vehicle on a free stamp (visa exempt) entry,

You just need the certificate of residence from the immigration office to title the vehicle in your name at the DLT office.
