Buying in Chile
 

Hi there,
Could you anyone send me some clues on where to buy used bikes in Chile and anything else i might need to know about going down this road.
Many thanks.
Luke.

Hello all,

I will arrive by plane without a bike from Paris in Santiago, Chile on 01 fev 2006, will drive in Chile, then Bolivia, then Peru until lima : I have to fly back to Paris from Lima on 01 march 2006, so only one month holidays because now I m working again in Paris.

So, I am looking to buy a small cheap bike, like a 125 cc courier bike (Honda cg style) or a little bit bigger bike like a Honda nx 200 or nx250 or xr250 in Santiago Chile, something like this. I was thinking of a 500 euros budget. I will try to sell it again in Lima, Peru.

I need to buy and NOT RENT because I may have some problems with the local police and at the customs borders if the bike does not belong to me (paperwork need to have my name on it).

I would appreciate your sympathy if you can help me to buy a bike in advance. If also you have official information for the correct paperwork of the bike i buy in Chile, for the customs border crossings (Chile, Bolivia, Peru) and insurances in each country, I would appreciate.

Thanx a lot in advance,
Cheers, happy trails.

Hi Like and Vincent,

Try the regional board for South America. There is some good info on buying in Chile.
