what should I expect to pay to export the car to Mexico?

Answer
Dear Claudio: Thanks for writing. If you go to the internet you'll find every imaginable answer. This is just one example that may illustrate what I am trying to convey to you:

There is nothing better than getting the OFFICIAL word from the Mexican Government. I doubt it that they will reply to you via email. If you've already bought the vehicle without first asking, it might not be a bad idea to get an appointment at the closest Mexico Consulate near you.
