Transferring ownership of an foreignly registered bike between tourists
Hello everyone,
I am currently looking into purchasing a bike in Santiago, Chile in the first week of June. I found that there is a lot of info about purchasing a bike from a Chilean, be it a dealer or a local. What is no clear is if it is possible to buy a foreignly registered bike from another tourist. From what I understand this is common practice but you become the legal owner of the bike. My questions boil down to this:
1. Is it possible as a citizen of country A to legally transfer the ownership of a motorbike registered in country B from another tourist in Chile.
2. Is there a solution so you can still purchase the bike and ride through SA without transferring the ownership of the bike (POA or lease or something?)
3. What are possible issues with an temporary import paper?
It would be awesome if someone could shine a light on this topic. I am looking for helpful advice, I know xfiltrate has a strong opinion on this subject and it is dearly noted, I am on the other hand also looking for succes stories so I can weigh the risk.
I can also be contacted by e-mail on: marijnbruins@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance!
