I am buying my first vehicle in Mexico. I sold my old car in Texas and since I'll be permanente in a few weeks I'll need a Mexican car going forward.
I found a "seminuevo" Toyota RAV4 that I like at a Nissan dealership and paid $1000 to "apartarla". They said that as soon as I transfer the balance to their account I can pick it up the following day.
Is that the norm? Should I be concerned about sending a substantial sum to a dealership and then waiting 24 hours to pick it up? I mean, it's a Nissan dealership and it is absolutely huge and I have a hard time believing that they are scam artists but I figure that I will avail myself of any knowledge you folks have to make sure I am not doing something boneheaded.
