You have some very good advice! I also had a Temporary Residency (now Permanent), and bought a car here (Durango state). It is not easy to do! One thing that is required here, and I guess not in Jalisco is your SAT. Not the generic number, but your own private number, only issued when you apply at your state's SAT office. You don't need the actual SAT card (you only get that with your Permanent Residency), but the dealer requires upon sale that you have the paperwork for it (available for Temporary residents). Again, good video about a fairly complicated subject.

You mention "SAT" number....do your mean the RFC number from the SAT office?? If buying a car from a private seller you do not need the RFC # but yes you are right in needing it from a dealer. We NEVER buy cars new though.....there are plenty of awesome used cars out there at a far better price in our opinion! Your comment is awesome and we appreciate the dialogue about it, hopefully it helps someone else out. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, love it! Safe driving to you! Ayr & Lori

Ok, this gets more complicated than it should. You know, it is a Mexican thing. Why make things simple when they can be complicated?? At the dealership here they are required to get your CURP. That is for both a new AND used car. Your state is different? But when you go to the SAT office they will issue you both a CURP and an RFC. But for the car you don't need the RFC. Going further, as a Temporary Residente you will only get your CURP on a piece of paper. But, as a Permanente, you will get a card for your CURP. Both are ok (paper or card) for a car dealer here in Durango. For the RFC, as a Permanente or Temporary you only get the paper the SAT office issues. An RFC card is only if you become a citizen. So for me, I started as a Temporary and rolled over to Permanente after a year. So, I have both the paper for the CURP/RFC and the card for the CURP. I can't get the card for the RFC. I hope this helps. Thanks!

Yup, obviously there must be some state differences....and we do mention that in the vid. 😉 Nayarit and Jalisco must be a tad different then as nobody asked us for the CURP to buy the used car (NOT at a dealer....it was from a local person, as we mention in the video), pay the plates or ensure the vehicle. We did all that without giving our CURP # to anyone. Also two years ago when we applied for our temporary residency, Nayarit gave us our CURP number on paper as well as issued us each a card. Sooooo DEF some differences, again, like me mention in the vid. ☺️ We are just giving people a heads up as to how to go about buying a used vehicle in Mexico as a temporary resident mainly from a local individual. Thanks for the chat! And thanks for watching (or re-watching!) 👍
