REC Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 The original question was about the cost of registration - whether included in the price the dealer quotes, if the dealer pays it, or if the buyer pays it separately. My $30 comment was about the licensing fee which is not a lot of money in the overall cost of a major purchase like a car. Several folks - included myself - got off into a discussion about dealer discounts on new cars in Mexico in addition to comments about the registration fee.

Are you saying that the licensing is separate from the original registration charge? Certainly the amount I have been quoted by S&S is much more than the equivalent of $30 US.

Perhaps we are not talking about the same thing and I did not use the correct term in my original post. Am I to understand there is a one-time registration fee on top of the yearly licensing fee?

El Cartero Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I believe there is a fee to register your new car in your name; AND a fee to purchase plates. The purchase of plates is different and runs about 4 or 5 thousand pesos. The first fee is in your dealer prcing. It replaced the yearly “tenencia” we once had. The fee for plates is your hook. Dealers can do this for you but will charge you the additional 5000 pesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have done it but didn´t want to kill a morning standing up in a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I bought a new car 3 years ago using S&S and the dealer (Vangardia) comped both the license plates and the emissions sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have purchased 5 new vehicles through S & S and there has been a charge each time for registering and licensing the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Sorry to disappoint So many of you but I probably went to 10 different dealers except Honda and they all gave discounts. They also told me they give the discount directly to a person locally buying cars for those afraid to shop there. No it is not just used cars. Believe it and they will not loose their dealership. Go there yourself. Is the truth so painful to hear. I would think people would want discounts and not argue against it. If you want to pay full price that is your option. Do not argue about someone just saying what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
