Life is good. I am pleased to report Jeff found another citroen, this time it was listed on the web. We called immediately and to our surprise, the Argentine owner spoke perfect English. Jeff and his girlfriend, correction, one of his girlfriends, just returned from a test ride with the owner.

Interestingly enough the Argentine owner also para glides, like Jeff. I think this has something to do with jumping off cliffs attached to some kind of wings or a kite, or something. This is really good because Jeff was able to find out the best cliffs to jump off of. I don't get it, but Jeff was happy.

It is a yellow 74 3cv Citroen, looking a lot like the older model described in detail last post, minus any mechanical problems. And, this one has the post 1990 license plates, insurance and all the prerequisites for selling. (see previous post this thread)

Jeff hand shook a deal and gave the owner the number of our GESTOR. (one who transfers vehicle titles as a business)

Whenever the GESTOR, the owner, Jeff and I can arrange to meet at the proper REGISTRO, the title transfer will take place, Jeff will pay the knocked down asking price. Meanwhile, while the citroen is still properly licensed and insured by the owner,this would be prior to going to the REGISTRO for title transfer, the owner will drive the citroen to my garage and park it. This will enable Jeff and I a day or two to find and buy insurance, and avoid risking a drive from the REGISTRO to the garage without insurance.

It is much more difficult in Argentina to buy your way out of a confiscation for not having insurance than it is in Colombia, especially in Buenos Aires. One might end up with an additional criminal charge of attempting to corrupt a police officer or something just as oxymoronic.

We are well on our way to achieving the buy part of our buy in Argentina, tour South America and sell in Argentina adventure. stay tuned.

Hey anyone reading this? Anyone find this helpful, learn anything new or have a question? No, I won't even go there about what Jeff's girlfriend looks like. But just between you and me, hot, hot , hot, xfiltrate, Elisa and Jeff
