If you buy a car in Mexico, it will have Mexican plates. Unless you buy a car with foreign plates, which is illegal.

Anyone can buy a car in Mexico.
The problem is in the registration of said car.
You must have an FM2/3 in order to register it.
This is a Q Roo rule - not a federal rule.
One way around it is to have it registered in a friends name (one that has an FM2/3)
Kinda leaves you open to problems if you have a falling out with this friend.

Since its a Quintana Roo rule

Is there another state that you can register the car

Without The Fm2 or Fm3

Thanks

It needs to be registered in the state you live in.
Bite the bullet. Get an FM3. It's easy.

Is easier to get the FM3 here or in the states
Thanks

"Applying at a Consulate: In the past FM3s were issued by the Mexican consulate serving the area where you lived in your home country and at INM offices in México. This has changed. Now, FM3s are issued only in México by the INM office serving the city where you will be living.
You may still apply for an FM3 at a Mexican consulate, but the actual card will not be issued at that time. You will get the card from the INM office after you arrive in your new home. After receiving your application and fee payment, the consulate will attach a special form to your passport. With this attachment, you will have 180 days to make your move to México. Once you arrive in México, you will have only 30 days to go to the INM office in your city to complete the application for your FM3.

When you enter México, be sure to get an FMM which you will need to turn in to the INM office when you complete your visa application. If you fail to have an FMM to turn in, you will face a fine of $1,196 pesos.

When you present your documents at the INM office, they will want you to fill out a Formato Básico and give them some pictures for the form and for you new FM3 card. They will want 2 front and 2 right side infantile size color pictures with no jewelry. They will also want proof of address, usually a utility bill or letter from your landlord.

Getting the paperwork done at the consulate makes it easier for you to round up any extra paperwork you might need."
