AboutRon Russell Expertise I lived full time in the Chapala-Ajijic area for 7 years, and now Manzanillo area 4 years. During that time I provided information (health care, working papers, immigration, driving, cost of living, insurance, culture, divorce in Mexico, trusts vs direct deed,etc) to help people make the decision about whether the area was right for them, either full or part-time.
Now living north of Manzanillo on the Pacific Coast. I live legally in Mexico.
Experience Founding partner of a facilitation company for people thinking about relocating to the Lake Chapala area of Mexico. I am no longer involved in this company's activities.
Have driven extensively in the area, to the coast (Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Colima),to Patzcuaro, etc. Bused to Mexico City, flew to Chiapas. Also driven in Honduras, from Ontario Canada through border crossings at Laredo and Reynosa Texas to Lakeside. Can provide instructions and border crossing info.

Question Hi Ron, My Mom who lives in Ajijic and can no longer drive her car. Medical reasons. I am going down to see her in a few weeks. I HATE to fly and I am in need of a car. So I will fly there and then drive her car back home after my visit. I will buy it from her and then register it in Sarnia were I live. Will this be a problem. Thank you so much for your time. BTW I love it there were you live.
Answer Hi Craig, I don't know what will happen at the border when you leave. Perhaps you can turn in the paperwork for her and have the decal removed, but I don't know.
One way or the other the car decal must be turned in or your Mother will always be responsible for that car (she signed a credit card slip when she first brought the car in) and can never bring in another. I suggest you contact Ajijic Law for advice. www.ajijiclaw.com
