driving in Mex City by pdf123
Live in San Miguel de Allende (Guanajuato state) and want to drive my Guanajuato plated car in Mexico City...does anyone know just what, if any, travel restrictions there are?

Nationalizing a car from the US by ltpelle
I would like to bring a car from the US to Mexico next year. Does anyone know anything about the process of nationalizing a car and what I need to do at the boarder and what the costs are?
I had a Mexican license when I lived there on a spouse visa 8 years ago. Have the laws changed since then where I won鈥檛 be able to get a license? We will likely import/naturalize one vehicle and leave the other in the States for when we return ... Read More
Mexico City by harryhonolulu

I live in Pachuca, too and totally recommend it. I have found a lot of people here who can speak just enough English to get things done. Also, I have found many American products in the grocery stores here. I think Pachuca is a big enough town to ... Read More
