Transfer of ownerhsip - bike reigstered in the USA, bought in Colombia
 

Hi,

I want to buy a US registered bike from Dutch people in Colombia. Do you know how to transfer the ownership?

Cheers

Michal

No specifics about Colombia but.....
 

You might want to review the following threads, each has information that should be considered before purchasing a foreign registered bike in South America.

Some questions that need to be addressed:

Will you be able to buy insurance for the bike while title is "in transfer"? If you are able to buy insurance will it be valid once the fact that title was transferred in Colombia is discovered during post accident investigation.... You should research all laws pertaining to sale of foreign registered vehicles in Colombia. You will find many.

Will you be able to exit, if you want to, Colombia when the bike was admitted in the name of owner on title? What will you do when the temporary import permit expires, not sure about Colombia but max time in country for a foreign registered bike is 8 months in Argentina.

There are other threads regarding your question.

Many who post here have looked into your specific question, I know little or nothing about regulations in Colombia.
