    And bring to Mexico in the near future :) 

    In the next couples of months i might try to buy an used car in the US for different reasons, mainly the price

    Obviously i know thereĀ“s different kind of fees for doing such things upon arrival at my country, however im American and from what i can understand, i could buy any car in the United States and drive in Mexico legally without worrying for the different taxes down here

    What i would like to know, is what kind of things i would need to buy the car, like procedures and such

    Any advice guys?

    Be prepared to walk away from a sale! And...how much time did u give yourself to buy a car? It could be better to just make a couple of calls and give a quote over the phone to see if they would be willing to swing it.

    No porque tengas nacionalidad americana significa que puedes conducir un auto asi legalmente en mexico. Si va a ser usado, necesita tener un minimo de kilometraje, asi como pagar impuestos de importacion y honorarios a los agentes de la aduana. Si es nuevo debes pagar todos los impuestos que pagarias de comrpar un auto nuevo en mexico mas tramites de importacion.
