Buying a Motorcycle in Texas
Hi I live in northern Mexico, where Motorcycles are about double the price they are in the USA. However, I'm not Mexican I'm British so I'm allowed to buy a bike in the US and ride it into Mexico provided I go through the correct procedure and pay the appropriate taxes ($400) this is know as temporary importation. In order to do that I need certain documents showing ownership of the vehicle. These are either the vehicle title, Invoice or something called the current license plate registration (translated from spanish) and the document must be in my name. My question is if I buy a motorcycle in Texas how do I go about registering it in my name and getting one of those documents (I only need one in my name). Is it a long process, I could get an address in the US, but I don't want to have to wait weeks or even days for the docs. I would like to just go up to Texas, buy the bike and ride it back with some document saying it is legally mine in the same day. Is that possible? I'm talking about a used machine here not a new one so the Invoice wouldn't be in my name.
