Transfering Title In Buenos Aires

So I am planning on buying a used bike in BA that is registered in Canada. I have made plans to meet the owner, bike, and all official documents in BA at the begining of next month. Does anyone have any information on selling a used bike in Argentina that is registered in another country? It seems that this may be a very difficult transaction, any input would be appreciated. Thanks, email:kadewelfl@gmail.com

The best I can put forward, is that the original owner will have to leave Argentina with it. After they "leave" (ie. you are in no mans land between boarders.) you can enter the next country on your bike, in your name. Or, just get out of Argentina without coming in contact with ANY Argentinian authorities and at the next boarder, all will be 'cleaned up.' This is what I had to do when my papers for Ecuador expired. (Do NOT stop at the argentinian aduana either.)

No Man's Land?

There are ongoing border disputes between Chile and Peru. This is evidenced by the present time land mines, still in place, at remote locations along this border.

I know very little about foreign title transfers in Ecuador, I do know that the actual borders between Argentina and bordering countries are well documented and the actual borders are somewhere between the exit posts of Argentina and the the entrance posts of each adjacent country.

Please refer to "Transferring Title in B A" thread in the "Trip Paperwork" forum for other points of views.

Eat , Drink and Be careful, and buy insurance. xfiltrate

No mans land:
what I call that couple hundred meters between 1 countries immigration/customs office and the next countries respective offices.

(I merely used my Ecuador experience as an example. We are not talking about land mines in Chile and Peru.)

Have gone through dozens of different argentinian borders . Cant tell any where you cannot pass through customs. From Brazil or paraguay that is a different story. Especially the Iguazu/Iguaçu border. Neither the paraguayan or brazilian customs will stop you.
On the other hand. Why don´t you just drive over the border with the original temp import permit ? As long as it is not expired there should be no problem. My car (dutch reg.)was sold in Bs As as well and the new owners went to Puerto Iguazu and crossed the border and just handed in the original temp import permit.
