major stumbling block?
Hi everyone
Thanks for all your replies. We have started pricing up bikes and researching hard. However it seems that we may have come across a major stumbling block that will make the trip impossible financially...
Is it actually possible to sell a motorbike bought outside South Africa in South Africa is you are not a South African citizen??
I spoke to someone at the South African Automobile Association yesterday who told me there was absolutely no way we could sell, even if we paid import duty as we are not South African citizens.
I've read other things that say you can sell if you pay lots of import duty, but unsure of what this import duty will be and whether this is the case.
Does anyone know for sure which is correct and if the import duty thing is right, what % of bike value this is likely to be??!
If we can't sell we have friends in South Africa, could we legally transfer the bike to them and not receive any money? Then they could sell it for us.
Any advice or info or point in the right direction gratefully received. Am going to post this in other sub-forums too.
Thanks
I have all my fingers and toes crossed
