    Can you buy a car from somewhere else in MX  and then just register it in Jalisco?

    You CAN---- but DO NOT do it!!   We didn't know how much it would cost to change plates from out of state ( Mexico) when we did it in 2018 . It's very costly, and requires a total inspection of every single VIN number anywhere in car / motor/ etc and has to be booked in advance and done only at the main Registration office in north Guad. Many other requirements too to do with original purchase invoice and a lot of stuff re: prior owner(s).

  2. I did NOT click on ibarra's links, but only wish to note:   Legislation effective January 1, 2023...... when calculating holiday pay ONLY re: days per years worked  

    1 year = 12 days   2 yrs = 14 say  3 yrs  = 16  4 yrs =  18  5 yrs  = 20      6-10 = 22 yrs      11 - 15 yrs   0  24 days    chucked my old calculation sheet when I wrote these down,   so not sure... but I think these almost doubled

  3. Funereal homes don't DO the cremations.... but they can arrange them.  The one you're asking about is Funeraria San Franscico.  Excellent people.   Good English if needed.    376-765-2053

    Cynthia Gúzman takes info in advance ( she came to our house for that) and gets all in order.    sanfranciscofuneral@gmail.com

    I got mine at store west of Superlake, great service, and they took the old one away, they moved a bed to another room for me, I tipped them 200 pesos, bonus they spoke English...

    That store cannot be trusted any more than the one near Intercam in our most recent experience..

       I know there is a new mattress store next to the new Intercam Bank.  Has anyone had any experience with that store?

    YES.  HORRIBLE and very prolonged issues wiht them.  DO NOT GO THERE, nor to their "side" branch in San Antonio on carretera at coner San José.

    Go to the one by HSBC in Plaza Laguna... across from Walmart.  Honest, reliable, and even sent someone with a cash refund when they realized delivery guy had asked for $3,000 pesos too much   (had paid 1/ 2 in advance) .                  

  6. Technically she has to give you 60 days' notice..... ( unless you're a month-to-month tenant)which if you really mean today, some would say she's missed the boat this lease term around.   That said, sometimes wiser (and safer) move is bite the bullet.   Do you have any friends in Nuevo Chapala who could post request at gatehouse ( if that's allowed) or even drive around and look for signs?   Also.... IF you use FB there are apparently at least 3 " looking for inexpensive rentals for Chapala and Lakeside" groups, and you could join and browse thru' them, plus post your "wanted" notice.      Best of luck!!

  7. Rick is correct.  We had a wonderful solar water heater in last rental.... BUT....(1) location could have been chosen better, becasue in late season as sun heads south,          heater had some shade which meant NO early morning hot showers     ergo wait for later in the day   (2) old propane water heater had been removed so no option in that case  for us

    I would like to get on in front of El Torito and get off in front of Walmart. 

    Then take the highway bus that does NOT indicate Libramiento.  If unsure about the hwy bus, simply ask from the door "va por Chapala?" and then you'll know.  If the right hwy bus, it takes the east lateral offshoot at the lights west of Walmart (Autozone) and stops right there above the store.

    Easiest way to head back is cross the road to  bus stop  with HSBC, Steren, etc. behind and below, and you'll be let off by El Torito.

    I usually give the driver 10 pesos and sometimes they give 2 pesos back, depending on the driver.  The nicer autobus that goes direct to Guadalajara turns at the Walmart/Mall intersection

    There are two "nicer" buses.... one turns at Libramiento and other goes on to Chapala.  Those are the ones that are 10 pesos.  I'm guessing the smaller ones that weave in and out might be 8 if you look like a senior.  Highway buses are same for all.

     

  10. There's been a LOT of noise on TV news (Guad and Mexico City) lately about travel scams including some that  appear to come from "real" web pages .  I  think it's mostly happening via cell phones but can't justify that comment.  They're warning people to be super sure they know who they're dealing with.  Many have lost all monies paid plus their supposed trips.

    Can only imagine these scammers will up the ante during Buen Fin. 😠

  11. Curiosity got the better of me.  Have had the same issue at base of thumb for over 10 years, but I use splint and other methofs to alleviate.  Getting painful enough more often  I might ask the Chapala ortho as I have to see him soon anyway.
