I own a Mexican-manufactured and Mexican-plated car that I would like to drive to the United States and then sell there. (Why? Don't ask. It's a long, crazy story.) Does anyone know what kind of hurdles I might have to leap?

Hi Mike - you could do it but.... the new owner would not be able to register it/get title until the car met with US emissions and saftey standards. Actually it appears that first either you have to 'import' it or the new owner would. Unless its a very valuable rare vehicle going through the motions sounds like less fun than getting an FM-2
Of course if you are just selling it for parts then it would be a pretty simple - the one thing to remember is that if you do sell it up there you must baja the car here otherwise you'll have to continue paying its tenacia every year.

I've printed the following glossary out and given copies to three mechanics I am friendly with in town. You and your mechanic will find it very useful.

I have another good bi-lingual link for that other member of things you need to fix most and I'll post that on the Health and Medical thread.

The only vehicles worth selling in the USA, Canada or Europe are classic vintage cars, they dont have to pay much and depending on where they are going the emissions test is pretty easy to take care of.
