No.  You will be claiming residence as you are living here with a visa, so you can buy a car.  You just need your residence first.

Is residence 5 PdS annual cycles?

Modicasa

Whether they give you a PdS for 1 or 2 years seems a bit arbitrary, but your residence will/may have an expiry date which is the same as your PdS, and will therefore have to be renewed when you renew your PdS.   After 5 years you will acquire permanent residence status.  Â
