Remember a majority of the stolen cars and trucks, especially in the border states, and ESPECIALLY prior to 2001, ended up in mexico and other central american countries. I'd be VERY concerned about it being stolen. Even if the person your dealing with is honest, he may have purchased it not knowing it was stolen. I'd ask for the vin number and have the local DMV run a check to see if it is OK to register, and before paying, double check that the vin matches what is on the frame. $250 sounds like a great deal on the surface but it may be just a small price for a LOT of trouble. Personally it would have to be the deal of a lifetime of LIFETIMES for me to even consider making a Mexico used car purchase.
