Mexico service and parts 900

Dear muskox37,

Hope you're well. In view of reported road conditions (rough) and a lack of spare parts (offset by ingenious car-fixers), why not simply rent a car in Mexico? Rentals will be of a type common in Mexico, so your vehicle will attract no particular attention. And, if there's a problem - unlikely, as most rental cars are fairly new - car rental companies have ways to send help.

You should presume, from my comments as to travel risks, that I'm deeply familiar with Mexico's public safety problems. You should further presume, that I've spent a fair amount of time in places, wherein public safety is minimal at best.

In any country, there are always areas - neighborhoods, cities, states/provinces - that are more dangerous than others. Absent a compelling reason, residents go not into such areas, without a compelling reason. A visitor is more likely inadvertently to enter such an area.

I wrote to advise You of risks in certain Mexican states, and of the special nature of those risks. Some knowingly go in harm's way. Many, go in harm's way, without knowing they do so. I did not want you to be among the latter.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
