Some roads are less than Sterling, with "sleeping policemen" and ruts in roads. If you kept it to a modest average, inspect the car minutely on delivery (photos from your phone or camera with dates are useful), be sure all the tools are there and the tires are good, don't try to drive too far (don't calculate at US highway speeds!) you should be OK.

I've done this - there is a route and I will pst more later as I am on my way out la puerta.

How safe is it for a newbie to Mexico who has never driven there to do this?

Thanks,
