Newbie here. Has anyone bought from Mexican Spec? If so, what was your experience? I clicked his "feedback" button but nothing popped up.
Thanks.

You refer to this place?...

https://mexicanspec.com/vocho.html


It appears to be a used car retailer. Often you can get better deals on a used car without a middleman. But a retailer may have a wider range of cars to choose from. Looks like these cars are in Mexico, and you are in Oklahoma So you are buying sight unseen??? That can be problematic. Plus it is international sale, so it aint like you can take them to court easily if they misrepresent a car, and you get burned by them.
But then again, they may be a great company, and IF there is a favorable exchange rate pesos to dollars, and IF there is no or little import duty, and if the transport is not too high, it maybe a good deal,

What you looking for?

Samba ads, craigslist, facebook market place, bring a trailer etc... may yield many cars that are a lot closer to you, which means you can inspect prior to purchase.

Here is one of the cars they have for sale, a 1977 model..

What i find most interesting is the breaker box on the wall in the corner, and the wires coming out of it. Not exactly to American code!!! But it is a nice looking Bug
