Muchas gracias, Roberto! Tu ingles huele bien ;-) Escribire en ingles para que los otros puedan entender (y porque mi espanol no huele tan bien).
Santiago does sound like a much better option for bike buying but my hope was to buy a bike in the northern part of the country and then ride down. Do you think I'd have better luck finding a bike in Antofagasta or maybe Arica? Both seem to be bigger than Iquique from a population-wise.
So, just to clarify, since I'd need to take care of all the paperwork within a day or two my best bet is to go with the owner to a registro civil, correct? If they don't give me the required paperwork right away, will they give me a temporary padron or something allowing me to prove the bike is mine until I receive the padron? I ask just because I can't wait several weeks for the official padron and am hoping I could then travel with the temporary padron.
Also, what exactly do you mean by "on rule"? Are the three things you mentioned typically already in place under the current owner's name? If so, do I just need to be sure to get these documents from the owner?
Thanks again!
