Buy a local or foreign bike in Chile? Help
Hi to all riders!
After reading a lot of different sources, I have mixed feedback, I need your help…
Some info: I am French, going to Santiago in April this year with a friend and want to buy 2 bikes and tour South America for a year. (So, if you know of people selling XT600, KLR650, DR650… could also help).
Wanted at first to buy two bikes registered in Chile with correct paperwork (RUT…).
After reading a few forums, saw that some are saying that it is now illegal to cross borders on a Chilean bike for a foreigner. Others say it’s possible…
Then, other option, buying a bike from a foreigner with foreign registration (UK, AUS, German...). Some said it’s illegal to buy a foreign bike for a foreigner, others told me it’s easier for paperwork and border-crossing
What about ownership? Border-crossing? Any thoughts?
Sorry if the question has already been asked.
I’m confused, and any help would be appreciated…
Cheers!
Dylan.
