hi,
sorry, can I pls just ask one thing? I am just in the process of buying a vehicle in Argentina or Chile (§$$%???%$%§!) but I was told in Argentina that from here I can not simply cross the boarder to Chile unless I have my residency, i.e. DNI here.. So, is it really different the other way round or was it just someone who got lucky again?

It's much easier to buy in Chile. You simply new a RUT (tax ID), make your purchase, see a notario, get a Power of Attourney & apply for title. The tiltle can be picked up 3 weeks later at any aduanas.
Once you have the POA you can go where ever you like.

+1 to it being easier to buy in Chile.
Incidentally, the situation on the Peru border when I was there (Jan 2011) is that you can't get across the Arica / Tacna border. You can get into Bolivia over the border crossing close to Arica though and then go through into Peru.
All with a Chilean bike as a foreigner, with all appropriate paperwork (Padron etc.).

Is it possible to cross from Chile to Peru
most of these posts are a few years old, so I just wanted to ask if the situation still is the same.
Has anyone recently crossed the border form Chile to Peru?

If the bike is Chilean you must have the "padron" in your name.

I have all the papers execpt the padron, the dealership told me that it will take about 20 days before it arrives.
They told me that, with the papers I have now, I should be able to cross the border and one of them is a signed paper by me and old owner, which I can use instead of the padron.
do you know if this is true?

People have reported - recently - that unless the entire legal process is 100% complete, peru will not let you in unless the previous owner is with you. The reports said that there were framed signs up at two southern borders saying those on any sort of a Poder would not be able to enter.
Initial reports were people were being redirected (by Peru customs) to cross into Bolivia and then go from Bolivia to Peru at Copocabana, but that route was closed too within a couple of weeks.
The reports were on the panamerican FB page a few weeks ago.
Some opportunist on DriveAmericsa forum was offering a service to assist foreigners in buying a Chilean vehicle and charging 350 USD a couple of weeks ago and guaranteeing people could ride away into the sunset within a couple of days. I challenged them on the Padron issue at the border and they admitted the new owner would have to pick up a Chilean hitchhiker and cross the border with them.
As always, your progress may be quicker and smoother -- or not
