Re: [surebought] Donating/Surrendering a car to the Government of Mexico

Why assume that Aaron has given up easily?

Based on his comments, he likely spent months researching his options, as indicated by his detailed knowledge of vehicle shipping costs, new or OEM vs after-market battery costs, locations of actual suppliers, and personal travel costs and travel times to those suppliers vs. stiff shipping costs and import fees for very heavy batteries. When detailed research shows that it costs more to resurrect a dead vehicle than the vehicle is worth, why not respect his analyses and decisions?

Since he wants to follow the law, and honor his Temporary Import permit "contract" to either take the vehicle out of Mexico or legally surrender it to the correct government authority, then even well-meaning expats cannot just buy the car from him - so, why criticize his choice and why propose an illegal solution?

It seems like this guy has done his homework, and he is now asking for a little advice & expertise on how to close the final loop. Are Mexconnect's forums meant to be places to ask questions and get answers, or should post-ers on Mexconnect develop thick skins, grit their teeth and post anyway. expecting equal measures of help and anonymous personal criticism?
