It would be way cheaper to buy the bike in Oz, ship it to Santiago and then ship it back to OZ.

Glasswave,
Very helpful opinion mate. Cheers! I thought of that before and checked it out for shipping to SA from Aus and most cost about 1500-2500 AU. I guess that if import costs for a bike and the price difference over there (plus peace of mind) would make up for the loss. Plus I could learn the bike and modify it here in Aus before i go as well. That would also bypass the problem of bying and needing a padron in Chile to take a Chilean bought bike out of Chile right, and all i would need then is rego, insurance and a carnet...

You no longer need a carnet for S Am. It is easy to buy a bike in Chile. Jut get a RUT number and then make your purchase (do a search for the process), but if you buy in Chile, sell in chile.

Send a PM to Jabez Clegg:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...action=getinfo
for recent info on shipping Oz to Santiago. They did it recently and I don´t think they paid nearly so much.
With a foreign bike in S Am, you will only need your Ozzie rego and sometimes your Ozzie drivers license to enter most countries. That said, I would bring my title and get an international DL as well. Insurance is seldom asked for and generally when they are fishing for a bribe. Of course if you injure a person and have no insurance, you are in heaps of trouble.
In the end, the more papers you have, the better off you are. If you run into an uncooperative aduanas at the border keep handing over more papers, one at a time and they will likely grow tiered of you and send you on your way.

collect the Padron from any Registro de Civil?
Hi ive brought my wheels here in santiago, now after a delay with the registro de civil being on strike for a week im due to get my papers. I dont have my padron yet but seriously i have to leave santiago - ive been here a month and its killing me to be stuck here.
Please can someone tell me that its possbile for me to collect my padron somewhere south, like temuco - orsono - puerto montt? I can even get my hostal here to post the padron to a hostal in puerto montt!!
Any info would be fantastic.
gracias,
Eddie

So it looks like I found a bike of Chlieautos.cl, a DR650. It is pricey but I want to get up North to see the Dakar. My questions is, everyone I have talked to during my search has told me that it will take a month or more to get my Pardon before I can leave the country. However, I have been told that I can be given a "contracto" singed by the owner and the Notaria to be able to leave the country. Is this what they say by a "power of attorney"? Does it really take 30 days to get the pardon transferred into my name?
Cheers, and Happy New Year

It takes 2 to 4 weeks to get the padron. I assume that this contracto is the same as the powwer of attorney (poa). I traveled to AR, BO, EC, & CO on my poa. Some have not been so lucky with their POA's. Make sure the POA gives explicit permission for all the S American countries you might wish to travel in.

South America and beyond
Thanks for all the information, I'm hoping to do the same next year or at the end of this year.
Question:
If i buy a new honda bike in Chile and travel south america with it first, can I go to central america, north america or even the rest of the world on that same bike after that?
Will the POA or the padron be sufficient to get me there or RTW?

With a correctly written POA (have them specifically list all the countries you might travel to) you should be alright entering most any Latin Am country as POA's are a normal way of doing ownership transfer. In N Am or other continents, you might need an actual title or Padron.
Do keep in mind that you will not be able to sell the bike in most countries w/o paying exorbinate import taxes that will essentially render the bike worthless for anything but parts. Furthermore, if you do not bring the bike back to Chile w/in your 6 mo export permission, you can be fined when you return. This can routinely be extended to 1 year, after that I am not sure. Also, if you never return the bike to Chile, you may be facing fines & export taxes when/if you return & try to use your RUT to conduct further business.

Other countries
What are the best countries in South America to buy a new bike either to: not return at all, don't work with an export permission or don't fine you for not retuning within the periode which is stated in the export permission?
I would like to travel South America and have the freedom to extend my trip (to perhaps RTW or for a longer period that is stated in the export permission) without any troubles/the least troubles.

You left Chile on a Chilean Plated bike & did not receive a single bit of paperwork? I guess it does not matter, they will have your info in the cptr. At least they did when I I arrived at the arica-puno border.

need some help
i was taking my RUT today. The friendly man at the office told me, that I have to come back to pick the RUT-Card after 3 month(!). As I want to move on soon, I can't do that but the paper he gave me is only valid for 3 Months and I planned to travel 4 month, . I told him all of this, and he said - don't worry, thats all not a problem, you can go to all these countries and sell the bike.
do you guys think I can sell the bike without this card in my hands?
thanks for your help!
