GUADALAJARA CAR OWNERS’ HANDBOOK

Insider Tips for Buying, Selling, and Protection



On a Friday night with friends, we had no idea that while we were enjoying cocktails listening to live music, two thieves were opening the hood of our car and stealing the computer system, one of the most important and expensive parts of our car. That day, I realized I hadn’t done my due diligence on owning a car in Mexico, and Guadalajara more precisely.


This guide was born from the desire to learn everything I could on automobiles and to share it with everyone driving in Jalisco, so you don’t have to go through our costly experience.


Don’t be the one taken advantage of because you didn’t know the Mexican system and ended up losing money or buying a lemon.


In this guide you will learn:

🚗 Things you should know before buying a car in Mexico

🚗 Best ways to buy a used car

🚗 How to easily sell your car

🚗 True tales of traffic stops and auto theft

🚗 How to deal with a corrupted police officer

🚗 Recommended honest mechanics
