What do you mean Kelly has it about 7500? Are you talking about USD... Because that's way to expensive for the car I would be fairly content with
getting 4500 out of it.

My 94' Astrovan was hit by a stolen car in June. My insurance company totaled it out, (even though it ran perfectly) and gave me enough money to buy
another one which I did. I gave the damaged one to my mechanic, which wiped out what I owed him, but I probably could have sold it in TJ for quite a
bit, though.

lots of mexicanos in rural areas buy US plated vehicles...we traded a lot for one! No problema. Asking if a truck is for sale is a very common thing
but rarely do they have the money to buy it. But one can easily sell anything toyota, pick ups and economic small cars. I need a small stationy wagony
type ride if anyone has any lying around!!! cash or land?

Not legal to sell for tourist. Tourist is not supposed to leave anything behind. Though many Nomads with tourist cards keep their homes there, full of
"stuff" - also something that tourist is not supposed to do, though the consensus of the forum on this subject is kinda "modo Mexicano" - anything is
legal if you can get away with it
Not necessary for Mex buyer to have a green card and US DL - as others mentioned there are Onappafa plates.
But, because Onappafa is only for 5 years, the price is lower than if it were imported. Besides - Shari is right - Mexicans rarely have cash to buy
anything over a few thousand.
Gringo market, i.e. Americans selling to Americans, is narrow, and usually same applies - higher price than in the US if it's "nationalized", i.e.
imported, and lower if it's not. Americans selling to Canadians - somebody mentioned this - is not a sure bet either, because Canadian would have to
go through hassle of importing it to Canada if he wants to be able to ever bring it to Canada, duh. There are of course Canadian drivers with US
plated cars that never leave Baja, so they might buy - gray area as to the legality of such registrations, I won't go there now.
The OP mentioned that it's not even registered. You can't drive across the border anything that is not registered. At the very least you have to have
a temporary sticker. No "bond" is necessary in Baja, but you need to have a US registration to your name. Or, in some instances - to your company
name.

Fastest way to get rid of a money pit car:
1. Drive south on the toll road from Tijuana.
2. Bail out just before Salsipuedes.
