shipping a car to GTO.

Wow, sounds like Coleen had quite the ordeal. I nationalized two vehicles and never sold them to anyone or needed bills of sale from any Mexican company to get my Mexican registration papers.

In both cases my Canadian insurance/registration paper was considered my 'factura' and I received new Mexican registration papers when I paid my permanent importation fee. Nationalizing the Mazda cost me a total of $2800 pesos and the Jeep Sahara cost me $4200 pesos, those fees covered the customs broker and all paperwork in Mexico, I paid those fees to the customs broker. This entailed two visits to my local customs broker, one for them to photograph the vehicles and take the impression of the VIN numbers and the other a few days later to pick up my papers stamped and signed by Aduana. Then I took those papers to the local office that dealt out license plates, paid them the plate fee that everyone pays when they get a new plate and drove away with my new plates and tarjeta de circulation. Both vehicles were in the between 9 and 10 years old category when I nationalized them.
