I do not recommend taking a car with temporary tags or no front tag into Mexico.
I always wondered if it would be possible for a Canadian to buy a car in the US for use in Mexico without first importing the car to Canada and paying for Canadian import duties, taxes, Mechanical Inspection and registration/insurance. If Mexico does allow you to bring in the car with only a bill of sale from a dealer then it sounds like it would be possible. I wonder if putting old expired plates from Canada on the car would be an issue?
