Chile - Buy Local or Import?
Hi folks -- just landed in Santiago for a several years (or more) job. Couldn't be happier. Now the question becomes whether to buy a bike here or bring a new one in from the US (understand the prohibition against permanent import of used vehicles).
Likely target is a BMW f800gs, and actually shopping for two since my daughter is coming down to live as well, soon as she gets some details wrapped up in the states. Not really interested in shady deals or sneaking across borders. Respect for national sovereignty and all that. but not anxious to pay twice the price either.
Any knowledgable counsel out there?
mny thnx -- mr
