narcissistic, abusive behavior.

To add clarification for anyone who is interested in the topic, in the DMV system in USA, there are actually 3 addresses possible, by default they are
all the same, garage, residence and mailing address. Garage address affects smog requirements and hiway and road taxes, residence is usually where
mail comes, and is considered the legal address, and mailing is an alternate mailing address. For Baja residents, you can use your Baja address for
any or all three, or vice versa. When you use the Baja address, (except for Laredo, Ensenada, and Tijuana), there is no Smog check since it would be
burdensome or impossible to return and there is accommodation for differences in fuel, and you can receive the registration and stickers to your Baja
house, if mail is delivered, which is unreliable. I use my Baja address for the garage address, and use my USA residence as residence and a mailing
address to send the stickers to an intermediary address that will send them with Fedex or via friend for reliability. I have reliably received all
commuications from DMV via USA snail mail to La Paz addresses.

anyone be willing to pay the high CA registration fees when the vehicle is in Baja all year? They do not receive any benefit from keeping
registration in CA. What is wrong with exercising common sense and managing your money?
So I have the same question, how is this cheating anyone? |
My wife went in to try and regularize her car but
couldn't do it because it was made in Japan.

They say car must be built in USA, Canada or Mexico but it seems each week they open it up to fewer requirements. Let's see if anyone has completed it
this week with a car from Japan or Korea ...

Many brands are legally imported to the US. I am sure Mexico means US spec cars are just fine - not necessarily US built.

Toyota has assembly plants all over the world. So the ones assembled in Canada, the US, and Mexico would be allowed, but the ones assembled in South
America, Europe or Asia would not?

Exactly. If the VIN number starts with a letter, it can't be imported by an individual. Only dealerships can import
those vehicles. NAFTA vehicles have VINs that start with a number.
Don't hold out any hope that will change.
I had a Honda CRV that was from Canada, but manufactured in Japan. VIN number started with a J. I couldn't import it.
But there are the exact same Honda CRVs that are assembled in the US, the VIN starts with a number, and those can be imported.

It is 4 month wait after order one. Im a die hard manual trans guy when you order . The 6sp manual the cheaper price is not only because manual trans.
Only in Mexico diesel Hilux man trans is a work truck only . Only white or silver color small wheels tires no fancy stuff .You do get AC but the deal
breaker for me no more power windows. You cant get those anymore as of two years ago w manual trans . all other countries sell Hilux stick or auto you
can have all anything you want. No deposit on truck to order a month before deliver deposit. They will not give test drive of any kind so I may cancel
. New truck order manual trans put power windows in front doors.
