RVGRINGO Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Listen to Sparks, Bontepar. The message is clear from all of us: Do not try to import/nationalize/regularize your US plated car into Mexico. The odds are 99.99% that it will fail and there are no refunds, or you will get illegal plates and subject your car to confiscation or worse. You are listening only to what you want to hear and may be unaware that Mexican culture makes it almost impossible for a Mexican to say, “No“; especially if money is involved. When one persists in calling or e-mailing, there will simply be no reply, as you have already discovered. If you are going to reside in Mexico on a visa, you will need to purchase a car in Mexico sooner or later. Sooner is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Listen up: You CANNOT nationalize a car the was NOT made in a NAFTA country, no matter what ANYONE tells you. Or try this: The ONLY vehicles that can be nationalized are those manufactured in NAFTA countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 As long as you realize that you will get a completely different answer if asking any of the Mexican amateur car clubs in Guadalajara. There are loads of Jalisco plated, European built vehicles in Guadalajara. For example, ask them over on the BMW club there. As you have probably figured out Mexico is still very much a "it's not what you know, it's who you know" country. Anything can be bought or sold here. Anything. http://bmwclub.org.mx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 The European cars you seen here were imported for sale by new car dealers. They can do it, you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 The European cars you seen here were imported for sale by new car dealers. They can do it, you can't. Which exactly proves my point -the dealer buys the car, imports the car, and then sells it back to you. The problem with this method (and this is one of many options), is that you have to pay the 16% IVA, not on the declared value, but the blue book value.

bontepar Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why are you asking here about an amparo? The person you trust to do the process should be up on that, if you are paying them money to work for you. Let them earn it. I have not paied any money and I do not trust them ...that is WHY I was asking references...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Well, we are one of the ones that got taken for $4500.00 U.S. and came away with a fake papers. Now in the States selling it for way less than it is going to cost us to replace it ... especially after paying out the nose for fake papers, time, hotels, air fare back, food, dog sitters, on and on and on. Our advise is take it to the States and sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 My new “buddy“ just does not want to hear any negative reports. So, let‘s just wait for someone to post positive legal results within the last month or so. The silence may be deafening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
