If you're selling in Colombia, you'll only be able to sell to an other tourist, as its illegal to import a used vehicles into Colombia. (you can easily get your temporary import permit though for up to 6 month, but no way to permanently import it).

Your best bet will be to sell it to another traveller. Try posting it on the 4x4 section of the HUBB, or at the german site Postbus.de (click at FORUM left bottom of the page).
But it won´t be easy to sell an expensive car like yours though. What about shipping it back to the EU with the banana freighter of Horn Lines RoRo (take passengers too)

kaiserkyhl,
you re right, many people told us the same, there could be exceptions though.
NGOs, diplomats could buy it without going through the whole complicated, long and expensive "nacionalization" process.
but the law is quite strict here in colombia, and people don t play with it. we have not been proposed "illegal" things for example.
marker,
yeah, our best bet would be to sell it to another traveller or NGO or diplomat.
but colombia is definitely not the best place in south america to sell a used car.
last price would be 16 000 euros
we are in bogota for 3 weeks then back to france. thanx everyone for your answers, thanx to the HUBB communities too. happy trails

Please see Part One, Two and Three Sam, Joe and Barbara
Vincent Danna, I have noted you are a moderator, my fictionalized account of selling a foreign registered bike in Santiago, Chile might not be new to you. There is though, an almost O'Henry ending you might enjoy.
Please go to ....
Selling US registered bike in Argentina/Chile? ( 1 2)
See my last 3 posts.... entitled Foreign Title Transfer... Part Two: Sam, Joe and Barbara and Part Three: Sam, Joe and Barbara.
The diplomatic route has been overdone in Buenos Aires, google news or the Buenos Aires Herald will have the sad story, or find my posts this region...
