What is it like buying a car in Mexico? Today I'm in Guadalajara looking at new/used cars for sale. I'll be walking through the entire process, including 2023 wait times, deposits, test drives, and more.

Since the pandemic, the process of buying a car has changed dramatically all over the world due to supply chain shortages. I wasn't sure what to expect when car hunting in Mexico but it turned out to be a little frustrating.
In this video, I'll be visiting Toyota, Subaru, and Kia dealerships to try and find my next car. I quickly learned that all the dealerships no longer have 2022 models, despite looking in early January. Additionally, they all have very limited stock of their various models to look at on their showroom floor.
Next, it seems to depend on which model you're looking for whether the wait will be 2-6 months or more before it arrives. So ultimately, if you want to buy a new car, you have to put a $5,000 peso non-refundable deposit to hold your spot in line. Each month, they are given a new batch of cars (the dealership doesn't choose which models or colors). When those come in, they call the next person in line on the waiting list. You have the option to accept the car or wait for the model/color you want.
What do you think of car hunting in Mexico? Do you have any thoughts, comments, or questions about this experience?
