Thanks again for the replies. This is such a murky area.
Yes, it is a murky area. It's too bad that the US and Mexico cannot agree to abide by that part of NAFTA that called for free trade in automobiles across the border by 2007, then we would not have worry about these things. Things are scheduled to change in 2010, but I suspect that the Mexican car manufacturers will get NAFTA postponed again.

My Mexican friends tell me that US cars more than 30 years old may be imported by paying customs fees and taxes. I will test that proposition soon.
