I have been told that to put a "Se Vende" sign or "$" sign on a US plated vehicle can lead to impoundment and loss of your vehicle.
What is your opinion ?

The saturday morning flea market in San Felipe is filled with US plated vehicles for sale. Haven't heard of any problems. But, that is BCN not Sur.Cyanide41 - 2-4-2009 at 09:19 AM
hmm... I never thought about it, but it makes sense. Mexico is very leary of people going down and selling vehicles.Woooosh - 2-4-2009 at 09:32 AM

I do love it when idiot drivers have their home phone numbers on their vehicles though. David K - 2-4-2009 at 10:08 AM
Depends on who is selling the U.S. plated vehicle!
If it is a U.S. citizen on a FM-T, then it's a BIG NO-NO! ('Tourists' don't sell their cars in Mexico for income... they come to Mexico to spend their
income!)BajaGringo - 2-4-2009 at 11:15 AM
Is it illegal? Probably.
Up along the border area doesn't seem to stop anybody as you see thousands of them.
YMMV...Dave - 2-4-2009 at 12:11 PM

Technically, unless you have a corporation and/or work permit you can't legally sell a postage stamp.
Practically, In all my years here I've only known one individual who's paid the consequences.
I'd take the risk. dtbushpilot - 2-4-2009 at 12:47 PM
Watch out Dave. Encouraging someone to break the law in Mexico (or anywhere else) may cause you to become the object of ridicule and scorn by the
"Nomad Police".....
I haven't quite recovered from my recent tongue lashing at the hands of my Nomad bretheren when I committed a similar infraction........dt
