The second time, three years ago, Russ and Shelly headed up the mountain to Morelia to shop, they were stopped by a PFP shortly after they got on the toll road. He stopped them because of their plates. He examined their paperwork and strongly suggested to them that they turn around, drive straight back to Zihuatanejo, and never try to take their car out of town again.
They "donated" their car to an ejido here, and bought a good used car.
It absolutely scared the s**t out of them, and they had already lived here full time for five years. Fortunately for them, they had a nice PFP.
It's not hard to follow the law, it's tougher to find a quasi-legal way around it. I like things easy!

Any true-blooded American, Canadian, or Mexican would be more than happy to contribute to the coffers by paying for importation, plates and tags. I have seen Mercedes driven by Americans in SMA who have joined the association.
I understand, "when in Rome do as the Romans do", but I doubt it was ever meant to "screw unto others as they may or may not have screwed unto you".

"I know her and her spouse, don't know if you do.
We've had our rounds about what's legal and what's not. They do things the illegal way, not the legal way.
As my mother used to say, "I wouldn't trust her any further than I could throw her".
And that is that."

Yes. if you alternate your residencies between temporary and permanent, you can get more time driving "out of country" vehicles. Is it that important?
When we settled in here, permanently in our home, it made a huge difference as to how we felt about things. We no longer have any need or desire to go north of the border.
Did we expect that? Not really, but we have found that our outlooks and thoughts on life have changed dramatically living here. It's really really good.
That's all very personal and obviously varies between people. We are extremely happy here and are so glad we made the decision to immigrate to Mexico. For us, it was a great thing and we are thrilled with our decision.
For others??? It's a very personal call and hopefully you will make the decision that will make you the happiest!

You have to be very aware of who knows what. When we asked about vehicles at the Mexican Consulate they were very up front about the fact that they knew nothing about it and that the information was not available to them because it was not something that they covered. They were basically immigration. This was further illustrated when we started planing our menaje de casa. Yes, you get the final paperwork done through them, but it turns out that there is a defined period of time after getting your residency and when you can use it. They weren't really aware of that until we were ready to do ours. We missed the window, but it worked out well anyway.
Vehicles? I'm with gtla9111. Don't think you can nationalize anything of the age of your Honda, and when the time comes for your trailer/RV, you will have the same limitations. When you figure in the cost of the customs broker, the taxes and fees, you are still better off buying something here. You can buy a brand new March for under 200,000p.
IMSS-check it out. For our age, it is about $465 US a year, each. Many preexisting conditions are excluded. It's better than nothing, and in some areas I hear it's great. Here, for example, Karl has it. He needs to have his gall bladder removed. Free with his IMSS, big incision, etc. At the private hospital, arthroscopically, it's $450 US all included, minimal recovery time. He opted to go the private route. Lots of homework to be done.
I'm with Talleyho69. It is so much easier just to be a permanent resident and do things that we do in Mexico. Buy a new Mexican car or even used. I've always purchased used cars in Mexico and with my limited but wise knowledge, I have always picked a winner. You can do all the same things when purchasing new or used as in the states.
As for IMSS, I pay what TAlleyho69 pays. I can opt to go social or private. My cardiologist (private) still charges me $100 U.S. each year for full check-up including stress test, EKG, X rays, full blood work, etc. He is the medical director of San Lucas Hospital in Monterrey. If I need a bypass, I can go social and because he works in the social system as well, he can be my surgeon.
A pacemaker in the U.S. is roughly $30,000. In Mexico, less than $3000.
I'm not rich, but I don't want to be one of those ex-pats that is constantly driving or flying back and forth to the U.S. every time I have some kind of leak or blowout. I live here, this is what we do and what we have.
