Mexico Legalizes Foreign Vehicles

Last week, the Mexican Senate unanimously passed a law to permit the legalization of some 1.5 million foreign vehicles.  The law will allow legalization of vehicles dating from 1970 to 1993 which entered Mexico before October 31, 2000.  

Fees for registration will range from $750 pesos for six-passenger models dating 1970 to 1979 to $4,800 pesos for 1993 vans, station wagons or pickups.  

After the law is published in the Official Gazette, owners of such cars have 120 days to turn in the documentation and apply for registration.

Foreign vehicles which can NOT be legally registered under the new law are: 
         1994 or newer model cars, vans or pickups
         1969 or older vehicles
         luxury or sports cars
         motor homes
         vehicles which entered the country after October 31.
