Thanks for the suggestion but we'd prefer to do it via US purchase.

Here's what I would do.
Arrange for someone to drive the car to San Diego or have it transported there. Fly from Oregon to SD on a Friday. Drive down to Loreto. Fly back
out of Loreto on a Sunday or Monday.

I'd be open to doing that as well. At this point I am in need of a driver who is willing to entertain either option:
PDX -> Loreto
PDX -> San Diego

It is my understanding that you cannot purchase a car in Mexico without having Permanent Residency.
Crazy? Yes
Why not? I dont know.

isn't this just a little bit like hey would you please take my suitcase across the border for me it's a little too heavy I'll meet you on the other
side and pick it up. I would be just a little bit leery of being the one to drive that truck across the border. I could be money or guns or anything
stashed in the truck

For this reason, I wouldn't be interested either. I could do it as a favor, not for money, for someone I trusted and knew. Put another way, if
there was something illegal onboard, that was found at secondary, guess who'd be arrested?
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

I told this story before, but it sort of fits, so short version
Flying my Cutlass back from LaPaz after a successful 1000, my co-pilot was Western NASCAR champion Jack McCoy, who also was my racing partner.
We filed flight plan at the base of the tower and headed for the plane.
The guy who filed our plan comes running out and waving at us. We waited and he handed me a package, size of a small briefcase, and said "You are
filed to Loreto, they need these flight plans, please give them to the officer when you close your plan" and headed back to his office.
Hmmmmmmm
Well, we boarded the plane, tossed the package on the back seat and took off. Few minutes later the discussion commence. What to do??
Do we open the package, which was taped shut, and see what is inside? Do we open the window and toss it out over the Sea of Cortez? Do we abort
Loreto and hope to find gas elsewhere?
It was a long couple of hours, back and forth. Finally landed, strolled into the office, handed over the package and casually said, "Can we file a
flight plan to Mexicali, por favor"
He tucked the package under the counter, wrote up our plan and we we seriously outta there..... Whew!!!
The classic "no-win situation" for sure.
