taxes of motorcycle in Colombia
hey guys I hope you find this information useful,
When you buy/sell a motorcycle in Colombia the RUNT system (transit entity software) checks for SOAT, TECNOMECANICA and any tickets imparted to the vehicle or the owner up to the date in order to go ahead with the transaction.
In case the motorcycle has some tax debt the current owner must pay it before the transaction can be done, same goes for tickets is not difficult to pay them righaway there is no legall issue or anything just pay and thats it.
You should be carefull about the bike being a stolen one, that is a real issue so after a test ride and if you are into the bike you should aproach any police officer or CAI (small police station) and ask them to check the plates of the motorcycle they will use a police cellphone or a physical radio to do it so and tell you if it is or no stolen. DO NOT BRING THE BIKE TO THE POLICE/POLICE STATION in the worst case scenario doing so can cause trouble as you are using a stolen vehicle.
Just write down the plate on a paper or in your cellphone and go ahead and ask. Smiling or inviting them a soda could help depending on the policeman attitude.
