Used cars in Zihua and/or Mexico

We have purchased 2 used cars in Mexico in the last 5 years and have been very satisfied with them both. The process though is not easy. We found the cars we wanted through mercadolibre.com . One we got in Aguascalientes and one in Queretaro. If you are not that particular about make and model you can probably find what you are looking for in Morleia. I agree with Will that purchasing a car at altitude and not from this area as a great number of benefits, such as salt air and cost. We have found that whereever you get the car there is usually a mechanic that will look at it for you and there is a website called repueve.com.mx that you can enter the vin to make sure it has not been stolen. Usually there are government offices that deal with this as well, I would stay away from cars that are not plated nationally because that can be a pain. If you use a dealer you can save yourself some of this worry but will pay for it. This is not a bad way to go if you are crunched for time and want to make sure of things. I hope this helps.
