Alladin,
I hear you. After six years here, with local friends from all levels of society, I don't have problems in polite society. Likewise, my wife is a managerial-level Ecuadorean who regularly interacts with minister-level government officials.
But the fact that we get along very well doesn't seem to preclude about half the people we rent from trying to rip us off!

Is it worth the trouble to buy something? I would think in Ecuador there are good deals. Buy low and look to break even on the way out when leaving.
