I love the part about the punks "Walking Back To Take Revenge". Wait! Maybe they will pull the registration out of the glove box and phone Chelas and Chaparro their two cousins in Santa Ana to come to your front door to teach you they meant business.
Look, the main danger of getting your car robbed at gunpoint is to keep the guy with the vibrating pistola calm so he doesn't have a spasm and shoot you accidentally. They will be paranoid about the cops or soldados showing up. Don't try and stall them. Talk to them even in English as you prepare to hand over your keys. "I am going to go get the keys. The car has a problem"
If you LOSE YOUR CAR IN MEXICO YOU ARE SCREWED. Got it? You can stand on your head and juggle and the Mexican authorities will tell you you owe taxes on the SALE OF THE CAR. Is this too hard to understand? Insurance will do ZERO to help you here unless you have an aggressive Surplus Line Broker back home. Depart Mexico without having the car cleared off SAT/HACIENDA/SHCP records which means you have a document in your hands that says the car has been properly expunged off of their records OR YOU CAN NEVER BRING ANOTHER CAR TO MEXICO. Never does not mean next year, it means FOREVER. Banned. Turned back at the border.
And owing Hacienda ten or fifteen thousand dollars tax is not exactly fun either. They can and they WILL arrest you if you try arguing your way into Mexico because you do not have a proper vehicle exit document. What ADUANA does is seize your new vehicle and everything in it. Unless you pay that tax your new vehicle gets towed to the federal corralon. Once the grua disappears with your new car, say goodbye, it is gone forever. You have about eight hours to scrounge up CASH to pay the sales tax for the SALE of your old vehicle before the grua shows up. Then because your PASSPORT NUMBER is banned you won't get your new car in. You will be denied entry. Some fun huh?
"Let them have your car"...I love it.
Tequila, has the only right answer, which Tucson Jim and some others agree with. For the folks who refuse to accept reality, they are on their own as far as I'm concerned. The school of hard knocks via a 10-lb sledge hammer.
