I'm from Belgium and I'm traveling by car from Canada to Patagonia (Argentina). I left the USA just in time (90days) but I got my visa from Mexico 1 day after my (90days) VWP expires. My plan is to drive to Patagonia and come back to the USA in 6 months.

Will it be a problem if they see at the US airport that I got my Mexican visa after my US VWP was already expired?

I left within the 90 days. I have an I-94A visa so the date on my passport is the day I have to leave. I crossed the border by car around 7pm but I wasn't able to stop at the border so I drove to Ensenada (because they have an immigration office there as well). But that office was closed so I had to wait another day. So that's why my Mexican visa has 1 day difference with my VWP and I'm not sure if that's a big problem if I come back to the US after 6 months. Technically I left the US within the 90 days but will they check when I got my Mexican visa?

This shouldn't be a problem for you. Since you did leave within your 90 days, and you have a reasonable explanation for the later date of your Mexican visa, there shouldn't be any problems on return to the US. They're more likely to have questions for you about what you were doing in South America.
