Getting to be difficult to find a nice quiet no-mans' land to swap vehicles to new owners.

No regular Migracion nor Aduana services on either side of river.To be legal to exit / enter you need to seek out those services at the nearest official entry point* point.
In Mexico that means heading for La MESILLA or El CEIBO
In Guatemala you go to La MESILLA or El Ceibo * or the Belize border at Melchor de Mencos and get officially entered , before you try to exit .

Last time I was there(2014) , there was Migracion on both sides of the river, but no Aduana.

We drove from Mexico to Guatemala through La Mesilla in June. Checking out of Mexico was super easy, they were super professional and we got our deposit back on our credit card in days. Checking into Guatemala was also easy, aside from needing to pay for everything in cash and Quetzales, which meant a lousy exchange rate from the money changers. However it was still less than USD 40. It was a Sunday, which probably influenced things for good and bad. The border officials were also enamored with the televised football game, which probably also helped. They did ask if we had anything to declare, but didn't press the issue.
