Hi,
I'm selling a Kawasaki KLR 650 (year 1994)and a Suzuki 750 DR BIG (year 1987) in Nairobi or Dar es Salam at the end of this month (last 3 or 4 days of January). Both bikes were bought in South Africa 6 weeks ago and have gone all the way to Kenia (well, in fact I am in Malawi at the present time, going north).
I sell both bikes for US$ 4,000. Both are in good condition, we've driven 7000 k so far and no problems at all.
On the other hand, Grant I have the paperwork for the bikes done in SA which say that i am the owner of the bikes. How do you suggest we arrange the paperwork if anybody interested?
Cheers,
Juan Pablo

Juan,

It will depend on the SA requirements. The only way you will be able to transfer the title is through SA. Registering in Kenya and then selling is not on.

Some countries docs have all that is needed to transfer a vehicle as part of the registration document. If so, fill it all in and when the buyer gets to SA just go to the Motor Vehicle office and pay the fees.

You should have researched all this in advance, so that you know for sure what fees will be payable, what documents are needed etc. AND either have a web address or an official phone number and person to talk to so that the buyer can have proof that what you say is so. No one wants to run the risk of significant hassle / costs on arrival in SA. If you need more douments signed etc, find out what you need and have them on hand ready to go.

Good luck!
