TIP extension with new Residente Temporale

We had a California plated Wagoneer in Zihua. While contemplating the expense and hassle of taking it out of the country, I was approached by a local who wanted to buy it. When I mentioned that this would be illegal, he said: "Don't worry about it", handed me the money and drove away. End of story.

“End of story”?

I was in a similar circumstance years ago with my Canadian (BC) registered Ford Ranger. Then I thought, what if my vehicle were involved in a fatal collision in Mexico or in the US, while the VIN were still registered to me?

I took mine to a wrecker.
