Selling the bike legally in Paraguay
I've seen that every country has it's regulations about importing, i know Argentina it's quite hard and maybe impossible or not viable, Brazil, forget. But you still have the option to sell it legally in Paraguay, personally I've helped many bikers to sell their bikes and I'm still happy to it again, I live in iguazu and whenever I've some time free I help bikers on this kind of issue. I even sold my bike to a guy in Paraguay and followed the steps to legalize it there and couldn't see any problems on it.
All you have to do is to go with the new owner to a notary and make a kind of contract and that's it, the guy who's buying knows exactly what he's buying and you got the contract mentioning that you're not the owner of the bike anymore.
It may not be the best price they will pay for it in Paraguay, but still, you can negotiate, also bikers should consider if it's worth selling it for a price bit lower, paying a good amount to take back home or parking somewhere and paying a ruge amount of money and then get linked to something that you have to come back to pick it up.
Cheers

"Selling" continued
Rod, Thanks for your informative response , I am aware that foreign tourists have sold foreign registered motorcycles in Paraguay. Good to know someone is in place to help guide those who do not understand the process, keep them safe and legal.
One question, perhaps mistakenly, I am holding the belief that the motor vehicle department of the government of Paraguay transfers titles, not notaries and the foreign tourist seller remains the legal owner of the motorcycle (responsible party) until the title (date and time stamped) has been officially transferred by the motor vehicle department - with a new title issued and new plates..... otherwise there would be no legal control over ownership.
Perhaps I am mistaken and you can enlighten me and others.
As for paying "a huge amount of money" for parking - I invite you to visit my web page and discover the very reasonable rate charged for professional safe and secure motorcycle parking.
As for being "linked to something you have to come back and pick up" that my friend is relative to the individual, our clients want a motorcycle in South America for future visits and do not wish to pay shipping and deal with port fees etc. I have had nothing but positive feedback from clients.
Now, I do agree, that our parking service may not be the right for everyone, but over the years we have had many, many satisfied clients and many continue to park with us. Thank you for this opportunity to explain my point of view.

Buying/Selling bike between foreigner
Did anyone sold his bike to other foreigner tourist ?
In which country this is the more easy ?
Heard a lot of story about american who sold their bike to other foreigner passing through U.S registration (mean the bike is legally sold in USA) and paer going back and forth.
Could be easy between american, but don,t know how complicated it will if it sold between for example Canadian and American.
Heard that it's possible in Uruguay, but the way to do it are a bit tricky.
Paraguay, Bolivia seem posible too.
Advice and how too will be appreciated here.
Thanks.

Do you know if the process is similar in Uruguay?

Hello Rod,
Thank you for your informative post(s). If my plans to sell it in Bolivia don't work out (see post above) I'd like to sell it in Paraguay. But as close as possible to Bolivia would be great. Could you recommend any place closer to Bolivia than Asuncion or Iguassu falls?
Thank you very much! Kind regards,
