Selling Foreign Plated Bike in Mexico
Hi fellow riders,
I am seeking advice regarding how to sell a foreign plated motorbike in Mexico. I have purchased my bike in Chile and now find myself in Central America looking to legelly sell it for (hopefully) what it is worth. I do have a few months up my sleeve to sell the bike and i would be open to selling it outside Mexico however Mexico would be preffered.
I have read many threads and begun to develop quite a headache, i understand this process is difficult to legally pull off. First of all i have found it is illegal to sell a motorbike on the temporary TVIP import permit. Secondly i have found you need some form of temporary or permemant residency to get the motorbike registered with Mexican plates in order to sell. A few threads have mentioned illegal ways of getting rid of the bike for little cash however it is hard to rely on such info,
Here are a few interesting threads relating to this topic:

Is there anyone out there who could shine light onto this process? Are there any countries in Central America that have more simplistic rules to sell a foreign vehicle? Can selling a Chilean vehicle outside of Chile and keeping the original plates (only updating ownership papers) be an option?
Any updated information would be huge huge hugely appreciated!!
