Funny thing is that when I was looking at movies playing at Cinepolis today my computer's translation from Spanish for one of the movies was "Dinner For Dummies"............finally figured out that it was "Dinners For Schmucks" . I guess there is no Spanish word for "schmuck".

And by the way I have used the same lawyer for my 5 FM-3s (original and 4 renewals) and my FM-2. Makes life easier. Now I am using a guy that has come highly recommended to do the "work" and he is not a lawyer. I assume he has "connections". Also, about 1/2 price of what I had been paying my lawyer!

How often do you have to renew a FM3 and how much are you paying?

The reason I am asking is, I would like to leave a vehicle in Mexico legally.

Once a year.
Cost depends on whether you do it yourself or use an attorney (or preparer)
$200 - $300 - $400 - $1000 - $2000 Depends on the honesty of the attorney.
A lot of people do it themselves. It's not complicated. Just frustrating at times.
You can only renew here and it take weeks or months.

My lawyer charges about 7000 pesos. I take her what she requests (paperwork) and after a time (which can vary) I receive my FM-3. With my FM-2 I had to appear with my lawyer at Immigration. Never had a problem.

You can legally bring a car into Mexico on a FMM but you have to leave (i.e., get sticker scraped) leave MX and come back into MX the next day and get a new FMM and Temporary Import Sticker. This is why I went to Belize last week.

Pretty expensive if you ask me.
Did you ask me?
Oh. Never mind.

Totally uncalled for. That's the kind of remark that puts people off this forum.
