I'm looking for recommendations...

I'd like to hear from people who have successfully found a broker and nationalized their car (US plated) at the border.  I've heard it will take three days. 

 

Also has anyone successfully completed the process using customs at the airport?

 

Thank you!

Have successfully done it at the airport using Secorp. 

Have 3 more working at the moment.

First one took 9 days, the ones working now will take 2 weeks.

Wow, I was at the airport today and no one nationalized me? What did I miss?

Some people are always in the wrong place when the fun is going on.

We were over at customs talking to a very nice young woman.  What were you doing?

I was over at the airport today getting some cars started and was told that a 2011 could be nationalized but it cost more.  As I understood it, it was 1500P more.

Plain dish soap and water will work well.

Most "grime" is actually grease from cooking and dirt trapped in the grease.

Dish soap will cut it and not harm the finish.  Wash, rinse and dry.  Then wax with any good wood wax.

Fantasic is good but test first. 

I have read it is a bit difficult to deactivate a current registration in some states, even that you have to have the vehicle with you to do so with extra documents from that state. Other states I have read no problem at all.

 

Here they want a document from the state you bought the vehicle and this might be the document that the vehicle registration has been deactivated in that state, but I forgot what it called, besides a Municipal office printout from where you bought it showing it is clear of all due fines etc. plus the other paperwork when buying.

 

The fee for registering is about $4,000 pesos for the first time for out of state vehicles [great guess on your part] or part of that as they prorate registration fees, here due every Jan. and Feb. so it might be a bit less depending.

 

The next registration due is much less expensive here but every 2 years they change the plate design and then it costs more that year. [I presume they charge for the cost of manufacturing your plate]

 

Why are you going thru all this and taking a risk on getting fake papers?

 

You can go to the Guad airport, get it done and know that you are legal.
