Selling a Bike in Costa Rica or Nicaragua
researching for trip to Central America from mid-July to early September. Fly in to Guatemala and out of San Jose.
From what i can gather, buying a second hand bike (around 400cc) in Guatemala should not be too complicated if we are patient with paper work. does anyone have any idea of a rough time/cost of this for a British passport holder (can't imagine nationality makes a difference)? or anything i could do in advance to make the process easier?
also, it seems that selling the bike could be more complicated
is it right that import tax in costa rica can be as much as the cost of the bike itself? if so, is it even worth trying to bring it in to the country, or would we be better selling in nicaragua and then getting busses for the last section?
:confused1: :confused1: :confused1:
any suggestions??
