So CAN you sell a bike in South Africa?!
Hi a friend and I are planning to be a bike in Kenya and ride it to SA where we plan to sell it. However we may have come across a major stumbling block....
Is it actually possible to sell a motorbike bought outside South Africa in South Africa is you are not a South African citizen??
I spoke to someone at the South African Automobile Association yesterday who told me there was absolutely no way we could sell, even if we paid import duty as we are not South African citizens.
I've read other things that say you can sell if you pay lots of import duty, but unsure of what this import duty will be and whether this is the case.
Does anyone know for sure which is correct and if the import duty thing is right, what % of bike value this is likely to be??!
Really hard to get information on this topic so thought I would come to the experts!
If we can't sell we have friends in South Africa, could we legally transfer the bike to them and not receive any money? Then they could sell it for us.
OR we could get the bike sent back to England- anyone got any idea of cost?!
