Are you aware that all of Mexico is on shelter-in-place orders? Are you aware that Mexicans aren't being at all friendly to foreigners they see travelling, as they don't want them spreading more virus cases here? Are you planning to quarantine for 14 days when you get here and then self-isolate for as long as necessary? Just picking this up Thank You! We were down Lakeside at our home until the end of March just as the Pandemic was starting there. We have much to do with selling our Northern property and will sit tight until things settle somewhat. We were not aware of the attitudes but happy to hear that they are taking things seriously and as of this date it is obvious. Lots of details evolved with the move --Animals-Car------Shipping etc. Yes! if we self quarantine it would be fine--We did when we returned up North--actually 3 weeks and still laying low except for essentials. Thanks for your insights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mexicans in the Chapala and Guadalajara area are very friendly to foreigners. Maybe it is different in Sayulita. Do you quarantine for 14 days in your home after visiting anyone or any place outside of your home mudgirl? You have been to Costco and Mega.... did you return home and quarantine for 14 days mudgirl? If no ....maybe you should take your own advice! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters, someone decided to reply to a post I made almost 2 months ago, so some things have changed. And yes, I live in the countryside and only go out among others once every 2 weeks, so you can take your presumptions and your sanctimonious attitude elsewhere. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found out we can't drive down with an 8 year old car with US plates-- Gracias Brad Care to explain why you believe this? If it is for personal reasons, so be it.

When I changed to Permanente I had to take my car NOB and sell it, they were not nationalizing any. They are coming in as Permanente so I do not think it will be possible.

Mostlylost Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 If it is 8 years old then it's a 2011 or 2012. If built in NAFTA country they could nationalize it before they enter Mexico. Only they can judge if the cost is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Menudo Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Can highly recommend Strom White. They did a great job for us. Don’t bring too much. Many items that are usable NOB are not appropriate here. Kitchen items are a must bring. Expensive art work is better sold. Electronics are good to bring. Clothing is a good thing to bring.

El Menudo Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Sell your car NOB. Nationalizing it can be a pain and ripe with scams. Also will be uninsurable (a chocolate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 If it is legally imported it is insurable. However it really is not worth it to import a car. Costly and time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Agreed. An estimate to nationalize could be between $2500-$4,500, then Jalisco fees for title/tags. Would have to be done at the border by a bonded Mexican Broker. No do-it-yourself. Vehicles nationalized in this manner, with a reputable Broker, have been 'scam free'. Getting one done anywhere other than at the border, not so scam free. And then there's the Mexico plated ones.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today the availability of replacement here has multiplied many times. I would use Strom White Yes, Harry, but then wasn't the peso around 9 or so to the USD? Now it's around 23 (mas o menos). Even with that, is the replacement cost still really not feasible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostlylost Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 A tourist, Residente Temporal, Residente Permanente can all buy cars in Mexico. Is it practical? Only you can decide that. It would depend on why you want a car in Mexico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
