Mexico Only Allows 10 Year Old Used Car Imports - 98 Models Only - Salon.com | News Wires
Topic: Current Events 11:46 am EST, Mar  3, 2008

Cars newer than that were banned from imports as unwelcome competition for Mexican car dealers, and anything more than 15 years old was seen as a potential environmental and safety hazard.

But now, under pressure from Mexico's new car dealers who say "vehiculos chatarra," or jalopies, undercut their sales, the Mexican government is allowing only 10-year-old used cars to be legally imported into Mexico.

All of a sudden, 1998 Luminas, Astro vans and Ranger pickups are sought-after trophies.

Humorous.
