Sorry, we're not Baja neighbors. Our place is outside of La Paz.
But, we are CARSON CITY neighbors!!

I will, I'm going Saturday. I can see where some items, like outboard motors, may get special attention.
I may use the ploy that I took it to the states to be repaired. I bet the store I'm buying it from, which also does repair work, will write up a
repair receipt. They have all ready done the plugs, water pump, lower end gear oil, and other routine maintenance. That's part of the purchase price.
Perhaps I can get them to break those parts and related labor out on a separate receipt.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Replacement parts such as motors are allowed to be transported without importation fees for vessels with a TIP, So you could try saying its a
replacement motor, even though the vessel does not require a TIP. This would make sense to aduana.

Thanks but I'll have a receipt and I'm sure I can have the bottom line read what I want.
If you really want to help, and I appreciate the offer, buzz up to San Juan Capistrano, buy the motor, and I'll pay you back, plus gas money, when we
meet up in Ensenada. |
If you havn't bought it yet you may consider one of these...

They stopped me at San Ysidro and questioned me about my inflatable and 15 horse Honda. It was rolled up and in the back of my van. They told me I
needed to pay $400usd taxes to bring it into Mexico. I said no way and started moving traffic cones so I could pull a U-turn and go back to the
states. They then told me to wait for the jefe. Jefe came over and let us continue on our journey south.
This was a few years back but I remembered how PO'ed I got.

Not good news. I'm under the impression that if anything, they are stricter now. I'll be prepared with pesos to pay a 17% import tax on an amount less
than $1500.

I'm going to go through the declare lane, declare it's for personal use, have a picture of the boat (can't hurt, might help), and have a less than
$1500 receipt. The fewest fibs possible and declaring it is probably the best route.
Glad I asked. This message board is great for info, discussion, and entertaining too. A virtual community.

Life's a Beach
Just called the store selling the motor and they sold it out from under me. I told them I was going to be there tomorrow and that I was going to buy
it at the asking price. I asked them to explain the situation to another buyer if they found one and to call me, I would get there ASAP to buy it.
40 hp 2 stroke short shafts are getting hard to find. It was about 1/2 the price of a new 40 hp, and they're all 4 stroke (heavy) long shafts. I'm
really disappointed.
If I hadn't called I wouldn't have known and driven there. ANGER would have predominated.
