Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Andy, I'm a permanent resident of Mexico with my legal visa etc. It was about 6-8 years ago or so that you used to be able to buy a vehicle in Mexico under a regular tourist visa or temporary resident's visa. Not so anymore. The change was made a while back and you have to now be a Permanent resident of Mexico to purchase a vehicle down here.
Under a tourist visa you can import your vehicle for the same duration as your visa in country. And you must take your vehicle out with you when you leave.
Under a Temporary Resident visa you can do the same. But can not buy a vehicle here. And you must take your vehicle out with you when you leave.
Under a Permanent resident visa you can buy a vehicle here but cannot legally drive a foreign plated vehicle here.
That is how it is.
