You can drive on the foreign drivers license for six months, however you need a notarized translation to present with the original to a policeman if you are stopped. If you are leaving the country regularly (within each six months) then your foreign drivers license should continue to be ok.
It is doubtful you could get a loan from a bank in Russia if you did it would have a term until your visa expires. The problem is not your salary, but that as a foreigner you could leave at any time and a Russian bank would have difficulty chasing you. If you have a Russian wife, she might be able to borrow to purchase a car in her name with you as guarantor.
