I am trying to find the latest updated article 106 in regards to a Mexican driving a foreign plated car. At one time it was a Mexican could drive it as long as
the owner(title holder) was in the car. BUT! I know Carlos and I read/heard on the news somewhere that the Mexican had to have an international/foreign drivers
license besides a Mexican one. Who knows, as I said, laws change all the time.
Sue,
You cannot register a foreign plated truck in Mexico unless it is 10 years old or older. The amnesty decreto is over. Ok, well...you can get it Mexican plated but you have to pay all of the duty import fees which are HEFTY!
2009 is the next amnesty- not sure if it will include cars this year or not.
I have to say this is the number one reason I chose to have Mexican plated cars. The prices are not nearly as outrageous anymore and I have no worries driving, nor does Carlos.
And remember, it is illegal to sell a foreign plated car in Mexico.
Sue, have you considered driving it down with your stuff, driving back and selling it and buying something more condusive to your life and Vallarta life? May be a thought.
