The reason I ask is because I'm currently in Bolivia but don't really want to return to Chile, flavouring continuing north until I get to Colombia, Mexico, Alaska whatever...!

Hello everyone,
New to the forum here.
I'm soon going to Santiago to buy a bike. I don't have any specific plans on where I'm going or for how long. So, I have the same questions as you do. Mostly if it's possible to sell the bike somewhere in Colombia or in Central America. Have you found any answers yet? Or can anyone else deliver some good news?
Thanks!

If you sell the bike outside Chile nobody will ever be able to register the bike in Chile again. Without a "poder" of the legal owner singned in a notary he/she will not even be able to enter Chile.

So this new law in Chile is bad news for every foreigner trying to get a RUT and buying a motorbike in Chile.
End of this year I planned to buy a motorbike in Chile to travel around for a year or so in South America. But as I dont know anybody in Chile (or somewhere else in SA) I obviously won´t get a RUT.
Can anybody tell me which country is the easiest now to buy a motorbike or car and explore South America and sell it later?

I wouldnt dismiss Chile as a place to buy solely because there is an extra step to obtain a RUT now. There is no reason why you cant find someone to fill the Representative Form for you: there is a Chilean community here on the HUBB, I contacted people on couchsurfing to help me and found someone who said he'd fill in the Representative Form for me, a guy who posted here had the manager of the hostel do it for him. I had a French Friend studying in Santiago (considered "domiciled" in Chile) who did it for me.
I think if you explore the forum here more, you can find pros and cons of each country as a place to buy. It takes some time and effort everywhere, the important thing is to persevere.

Which new law are you talking about?
All of the mentioned rules / laws haven't changed since I know Chile, nothing new.
Cars and bikes in Chile are way cheaper than in any other country in south america, even if you loose a bit by selling it somewhere outside of Chile in a notaria to some other traveller, you are still better off.
You just have to tell him that he can't go back to Chile with that bike.

Pretty severe restriction given that it would also stop the new owner from going to Ushuia and of course the Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama route and a few iconic national parks and two duty free zones.
But apart from that ....

Buying second Hand from a private owner
Hi all,
Can someone with experience clear for me the possibility of buying a second hand bike from a private owner with only the paper RUT number . Or am I restricted to buying from dealers only?
Many thanks

With a temporary paper RUT you can buy from a private owner also, I did it 3 months ago. I was not able to do the transfer of ownership in the Registro though, they made an excuse, so I had to go to a Notario with the owner. I posted the name of a Notario that did the transfer of ownership for me in this thread previously, some Notarios refused to do it, I dont know why its so awkward for them to do it!
