Question about vehicles Posted by Kathy on August 16, 2023, 9:51 am Can anyone recommend a small, dependable car to bring to Mexico? I plan on spending a longer time in LaManzanilla and would like to bring a vehicle down this winter. Are there particular makes that would be easy to have worked on the area? Thanks for any and all advice.

It is very convienent to have a car available when here. However, you may not be familiar with the process of bringing a car across the border? (Beside it being a two day drive from the US/Mexico border to La Manz.) The Banjercito website (link below) is a good place to get familiar with bringing a car into Mexico. (There is a $400 US - deposit required,) https://www.banjercito.com.mx/registroVehiculos/#

Re: Question about vehicles Posted by Kathy on August 22, 2023, 10:27 am, in reply to "Re: Question about vehicles" Thanks for the all responses. I'm curious about VW's. Any particular models? I have an 88 Westfalia camper van. If I could get it down from Alaska that would be a small miracle. I'd prefer getting something newer and dependable-any suggestions?
