Things are much simpler here and credit is limited to what you can provide security for, not some prognostisized history/rating. Your credit card limit will be based on your monthly income and the CC bills will normally be deducted directly from your bank account. They don't leave you much room to default.
Go to the dealer for the car you want to buy/lease and he will give you the financing conditions and give you a form to fill out. Don't worry much about it, you will find out quickly and directly what works out for your particular financial and income situation, and what doesn't. Just remember to be straight and upfront with everybody and you will have smooth sailing.
