Honestly, Jim, I'm not a lawyer and I wouldn't want to make a pronouncement on this if I wasn't completely sure, which I'm not. Try emailing Francisco at Yucatan Lawyers (www.yucatanlawyers.com). He
Yes, I'm pretty sure you need some sort of a visa or to be a citizen to import a car here. There are now (since we wrote the article) some rules about what cars CAN be imported. I think I understand that
