TIP extension with new Residente Temporale

Once you become a permanent Resident you cannot drive a foreign plated car. You have to drive it back across the border or import it. I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee that I drove down here from Phoenix in 2009. Back then I had an FM3. Over time I was temporary and then permanent. The system was a lot stricter then. I had Sonia Diaz import it for me rather than drive back across the border it was expensive to import it but I am still driving. If I had to do it over again I would buy a legal Mexican car.
