buying a pick up truck or similar in mexico and driving down
morning folks,ive been living in Asia for the past 2 1/2 years,some of it working but mainly alot of the time was spent chilling and just being the self and for sure ive had a fantastic time but now ive decided that i want to go on a bit of an adventure before again having to find work..
so im wanting to buy a pick up truck,a cowboy hat and find me a dog and go for a drive down the coast of mexico..
starting in the north and working my way down...
so im just wanting to know how realistic am i being in wanting to do this ..???
ive never done an overland trip before unless you count being up on the himalaya roads on the back of a bike for three cold days and nights a trip,well it could be i guess..!!
so ive a few questions that need answering if you can help..
where would be the best place to buy the kind of vehicle im after..??
i would love to do it on a bike but for practical reasons and having to carry my teaching books with me,unfortunatly i cant,so a pick up truck or similar is my other option..
would it be easier on the paperwork if i bought the vehicle in mexico rather than having to do all the importation documents from the states into mexico..??
do they have like they do in australia and have auction places where travlling people sell their vehicle at the end of their journey..??
and are these at border areas or do i have to go deeper into mexico or buy it u.s.a. state side..??
is there plenty of mechanics along the route,or a call out rescue and recovery association i can join...??
is it safe enough that if i have to sleep in the back of the truck some nights,then i could..??
im aware that i have to have a driving license,a tourist card and the registration documents for the vehicle but is there anything else that i will need..???
ive roughly got 500 to 700 english pounds to spend on a vehicle,is this enough to get me a reliable motor..???
and just any other info or websites you can give me for the help and advise i need would be much appreciated....
many thanks
