Chris, get the deposit back immediately. Then, go yourself into the state hacienda office and speak personally with the person in charge of the office. Not a clerk, but the jefe or jefa. Ask for clear instructions as to how to register the vehicle in your namr. The comprobante de domocilio will be nothing but a receipt for light, water, phone, any one. Registration varies from state to state. If they cannot register it, find a state where the dealer will assist you. Simon Gandolfini did it here in Veracruz.

Also, see if you can qualify for an FM-3 if you have suffecient funds in a bank account. Missionaries working here do it all the time. Think it through before getting in too deep and losing time and money. There will be a way to get this done.
