It's best if you go WITH the buyer ( documents completed as needed) to the registration office.  That way you are SURE the transfer is actually done once you've put the required phrasing on back of the original car title and entered new person's name.. 

If not YOU will be liable for any future accidents, damages, injuries, or worse where that vehicle is involved.

What Do I need to buy and sell a car?

What documents are needed to purchase a vehicle in Mexico? A passport is the best photo identification. Foreigners need a VISA TEMPORAL or VISA PERMANENTE, plus proof of address in Mexico. That’s to make sure you are legal in country.
In Jalisco, Mexico a Tourist Visa does not qualify a person to purchase a car.
 
What you need is a phone or electric bill no older than the past 60 days, showing the full civic address in your name.
 
 If a car buyer has no proof of address because documents are in the name of a previous property owner or the present landlord if renting, then there must be a copy of the purchase agreement or rental agreement (minimum one year) plus copies of the appropriate utility bills in the owner’s name and his/her picture ID. Copy all documents for the officials.

You also have to make an appt. online, which you still have to wait forever and You cannot bring anyone with you into the appt. except the person buying the car. Since Covid only 1 person per appt. Doesn't matter if you do not speak Spanish, you cannot bring a facilitator or translator.

Things have changed since Covid.
