My advice. Do you have a visa?
The six months given at the arrival is not always given,and instead one can obtain only one month. It happened to me many years ago and nowadays regulations are stricter here.
Just to know. I hope you can get what you wish.

You will have no difficulty getting an FMM Visitante permit for up to 180 days. It is not renewable in Mexico, so if you wish to stay longer you must apply for a residence visa in your home country, within six months of entering Mexico, then finish the process in Mexico with the immigration authorities serving your area of residence. You start the second part of the process within 30 days of crossing the border and with proof of address in Mexico, etc. In a couple of months, you will have your resident visa, good for a year and renwable for three more years before you change to permanent residency. There are financial requirements and fees for these visas.

Just want to add that you get the Visitante permit from your nearest Mexican Consulate...if there is one in your country, that is.

No, that is incorrect. The FMM Visitante is the typical tourist permit and may be obtained without any pre-qualifications at the border, as can your car permit. If flying, you fill out the FMM on the plane and the cost is included in your airfare. Do not lose it, as you will need it to get a boarding pass to depart from Mexico by air.
On the other hand: If you want a residence visa to live in Mexico either temporarily or permanently (beyond 180 days), you will need to apply for pre-approval at the nearest Mexican consulate in your legal country of residence. There will be financial proofs to qualify, passport, birth certificates, etc., etc. Check the consulate‘s website or make a visit.

The response above assumes that you are from a country which does not require a visa to enter Mexico as a tourist or other temporary visitor. The USA, Canada, or other non-visa countries. Others should check the Mexican immigration requirements on the government websites.

This place is a good starting point, not the cheapest but nice location and decent value.
