Who with RP visa has imported their USA plated car into Mexico?

( in my opinion ) One of the drawbacks to Residente Permanente visa is you no longer can apply at the border for a TIP ( Temporary Import Permit - very affordable and easy to apply with either a Tourist Visa, or Residente Temporal visa ).   So I now have my Residente Permanente visa ( a house with escritura publica, bank account, pay Predial, agua, gas and CFE in my name and at my address ) and made the drive across the border multiple times ( couple of morida experiences too ).

So, I would be interested in anyone's experience with the "importing process" of my USA plated car.  I travel with two cats, some household items, and stay in little posados along the cuota toll road route.  I do enjoy the drive, the stops for gas, coffee and bathroom breaks . . . and I am not a fan of "shipping" my cats on any airline - too stressful for them ( and me). 

I've gotten a couple of quotes regarding "importing" my car ( estimates mind you ) and those pricing charges are HUGE - thousands of dollars.   Funny, AMLO did introduce a reduced import fee on USA plated cars for a few select states in Mexico, I don't qualify, and don't live in any of those northern states  . . . BUT for approximately 2500 mxn pesos I thought wow !!!

Muchas gracias por tus paciencia y ayuda conmigo, and I appreciate your comments.   con una sonrisa    Tony
