??? I don't get the people on here sometimes. Who cares about the TIP? If he sells it on the hubb, on foreign plates it's going to be to a foreigner who will leave the country with it. Why the fearmongering about the TIP?!
OP asked what do people do about the paperwork when people sell their bikes here. And here's what they do. They get a poder if it's not possible to transfer the plates in the original country of the bike. Pretty much end of story. Doesn't need to be more complicated than that. And for anyone about to say "but wait, it's not possible or legal because..." nearly ALL foreign bikes here are either still with the original owner, or on a PODER.
I have a poder on my bike (and my own plates once I've crossed the first border). It took an hour, and cost 10000 CLP around $20usd.
You know, I nearly put off my whole trip after reading some of the crap that people spout on here, luckily some people do give decent info, you just have to find it.
