Hi,

After almost 15 months (first 6 by backpack & local transport) of travelling through Latin America, we will sell our Ford Explorer 4WD in January 2013.

We bought the car the beginning of May in Suriname and crossed already Guyana, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru & Bolivia. The next months we 'll travel further down through Paraguay, Argentina & Chili.

we are selling our 4x4 1999 Mitsubishi Nativa which is in a GREAT condition and equipped with many additions for a great travel. the car has Panamanian plate and the ownership transfer is very easy and simple.

the car includes a family tent, chest cooler, AC converter, great stereo system, vehicle gear, we added a rear "cage" that securely holds the cooler and additional food box and more!!!

We are selling our trusty Isuzu Trooper come camper in either Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo at the end of this April or start of May, 2012.  We have removed the rear seats and built a bed platform with plenty of storage below the platform.  The car comes complete with two spair tires, all cooking gear (pots/pans/stove/cutlery/etc.), refrigerator, Mattress, pillows, blanket (for patagonia), camping chairs, curtains, air compressor, 30 liters of jerry cans, tools, basically anything you need to live out of a car in south america.  

Hello, I am considering buying a car or van in Peru that is registered in Europe, USA or outside of South America. This will allow more flexibility for future travel plans. First of all, is this legal to do and how complicated will it make border crossings?
I am considering a few options:

1. Van - VW t3 Kombi or similar Toyota Hi-Ace van. 1980-1995.
2. Toyota 4runner or similar four wheel drive. 1990's.

I am leaving Lima tomorrow for Huanchaco and will be in that area for several weeks.

Hi there,
