Okay here is the story...  :-[

I am buying the V-strom from a guy in Cape Town lets call him "Piet".

Piet wants "X" amount for the bike.

The bike is still financed at BMW financing.

I have the "X" amount of money in my bank account.

How do i go about purchasing the bike?  :-[




My feeling is that me and Piet should go to BMW and pay off the finance amount, they will then hand me and Piet the registration papers. I then pay the balance amount to Piet.


Guys please this topic is very confusing to me.... i need some good advice quickly because i think of leaving for Cape Town tomorrow  :eek:

Should i set up i kind of contract?  ???

Will BMW release the papers of the bike immediately? ???

Can i leave Cape Town on the bike without the papers?  ???
