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!

Iquique is bigger than Arica, more interesting for me too. Antofagasta is like Iquique. the 3 cities are state capitals, so I think you can find big "registros civiles"... but I'm not shure if you can get the padron the same day. I do that only once here in Santiago, but I can check that.
Yes, to do it you MUST go with the owner, and if the paperwork takes longer, they give you a paper like a temporary padron, but I'm not shure if you can leave Chile by bike with that paper, but I think so.
the only paper that confirms you like the real and present owner is the padron, the other papers (circulation permit, obligatory ensurance and tecnical revission) must be on rule (I don't know how is in english, the papers must be from this year, you have to actualice it yearly... you understand me?)
several bikes around here have papers problems, some have only the padron, but they are not street legal
when you will arrive here?, for how many time?, where do you from?
maybe we can find the way to buy you the bike around here, the 75% of the bikes are in santiago only, the market is giant here compared with other regions. how much will be your budget for the bike?
I can help you if yo need, cheers!
