Your simple outline regards title transfer was great ... but will this work for any bike? Including Foreign based bikes? We see many selling bikes there, most seem to be US based bikes. Can we follow the same procedure you outline to transfer title to new owner with a foreign based bike on a TVIP?
Any advice/help to offer here?
Cheers!

Hi Mollydog,
This was a used motorcycle purchased in Colombia.
We ended up using an online service for the transfer (Payoneer) so it was even easier than outlined in the description.
My gut feeling is that it would be very difficult to sell a foreign bike here or transfer the paperwork of a foreign vehicle. I haven't heard of anyone doing it that way.
My advice would be to buy here, travel around South America then sell it here again, if that's what your plan is.
I've bought and sold in Chile, Bolivia and Colombia. Colombia has been the quickest and easiest of the three as the transfer can be handled by a third party. If you buy new here then the dealer will handle everything in the same way, just inscribe in the RUNT, pay for the bike then wait for the paperwork.
Unlike the other countries there is minimal fuss and 100% certainty you will end up with a legal vehicle in your name.
