shipping a car to GTO.

[The Duck]

Colleen can you explain this technique a bit more "... It didn't cost much and took about 20 minutes to pretend that we sold the car to a MX and then bought it from Autols y Camiones etc." I've been here going on 17 years and in all that time I've understood [and I think correctly] that it is illegal for someone holding a temporary import permt to sell the vehicle covered by that permit to anyone, Mexican or otherwise - also you are not pernitted to abandon or give the vehicle away. See SCHP Obligaci?n de registrar y retornar el veh?culo Also on that page you'll find links to other SAT pages that cover temporal importation.

On being denied the privilidge of purchasing insurance from one source and just going to another who was willing to sell a policy without question [a MX local plated policy on a US plated vehicle?] I'd think if that were the type of coverage you bought when the time comes to file a claim you'd be in for an unpleasant surprise. It is posible to buy [see elsewhere on the forum] MX coverage in MX for US vehicles with temp import permits. All the insurance sold in TX before crossing is underwritten by a MX ins company
