Re: [Poncho32] Car permit versus an FM3?

I think that now that there is a required $400 deposit Aduana officials will be more knowledgeable about the required paperwork.
When we first imported (temporarily) our vehicle in 2001, the officals in the Ciudad Juarez Aduana office, where you get your car sticker, had absolutely NO idea what an FM3 was, so we just got a tourist sticker (no linkage at all). When we went to Aduana in Puerto Vallarta to register our car a few years later when we thought we really should, they looked at us as if we came from another planet. Whenever we have been stopped by police in Mexico, they are happy with the fact our FM documents are current and that we have the import sticker on the windshield and the paperwork in the glove box. If we pass Aduana checkpoints where they are waving people in for car checks (which is very rarely), we have only had to wave our booklets (when they still had booklets) and they wave us on. Only recently have we printed out the Article 106 because we think it´s a good idea in priniciple.
I´m not saying people shouldn´t let Aduana know about their immigration status changes--especially those who have paid the newly required $400 (or whatever people pay for their particular car year). But, as for us, who haven´t left a deposit, I think we´ll wait until we get our new immigration status before we go back to Aduana to try to register our soon-to-disapper FM2s, and possibly soon to be evicted Japanese built vehicle.
