    That would be fine as long as it doesn't get flagged or any negative title entries that fuck the resale value

    Depends. 05 & 06 double cab tundras are the midsize trucks you wish you could buy. Only ever so slightly bigger than Tacomas but V8 power!!! The one I'm looking at has fairly low miles, lift and other mods I would do so some groundwork already done. Never gonna find one of those states side in good no rust condition for less than $15-18k

    Hope it works out for you! Keep us posted on the process as you go through it. I'm a licensed customs broker but have no experience importing/exporting vehicles. I only deal with food service, which is bad enough lol!

    Not sure if I'm gonna do it yet. Haven't seen the truck in person yet. Usually used cars are more expensive and sought after in Mexico (and not vice versa). Only rich people can afford new cars over there!

    Nope. It was decidedly not worth it

    So theoretically you could buy the truck from a Mexican dude for $3k(on bill of sale) and just give him a $5k tip (not on bill of sale) and they would charge 25% of the $3k?
