N.M. Stat. § 66-3-101.1
Current through 2024, ch. 69
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the case of motor vehicles or trailers that are leased, except for those motor vehicles or trailers leased for personal, family or household purposes, a lease transaction does not create a sale of or security interest in a motor vehicle or trailer, or transfer ownership to the lessee, merely because the lease contains a terminal rental adjustment clause that provides that the rental price is permitted or required to be adjusted up or down in respect to the amount of money realized upon the sale of the motor vehicle or trailer. Nothing in this section exempts a leaseholder of a motor vehicle or trailer from payment of fees or taxes otherwise required pursuant to New Mexico law.
