Real Estate Sales Neighborhood by neighborhood: What is the price of a garage for sale in Buenos Aires in July 2025? - La Nación Propiedades

[earlyretirement]

Hi — glad the information was useful.

Right now a new Honda XR250 Tornado sells for about $5,000 USD or equivalent here in Argentina. A lot of travelers simply put it on a credit card, ride for a few months, and then sell it back through the dealer or privately when they leave.

Honda has announced the XR300 Tornado, but the dealers here still haven’t published a firm price yet. If you’d like, I can check with our Honda contact and get you the current quote once they release it.

Yes — you can buy a bike with a CDI (tax ID) and a domicilio (local address). A DNI isn’t required. The Honda dealer handles the paperwork and can also help arrange insurance, which is pretty straightforward.

Our Honda dealer is in Villa Gesell, about 30 km from our place in Pinamar, and they’re used to working with foreign riders.

For what it’s worth, Elisa actually rode an XR250 over Paso de Jama in the Andes (about 5,000 meters) when we crossed into Chile. I was on an NX400 Falcon. The XR did surprisingly well at that altitude. She eventually upgraded to the NX400, but the XR is a very capable bike for South America.

As for stories… riding around South America always produces a few. Mostly it’s been good people and amazing landscapes. If you want one of the more memorable ones, you can listen to Adventure Rider Radio and search for the “Deep Trouble – If I Survive This I Will Never Complain Again” episode. That’s Elisa telling the story to host Jim Martin.

Happy to help if you have more questions about bikes or traveling down here.

Great info @xfiltrate! Thank you for sharing with us. Love reading stories like this. I had a really good friend that drove his motorcycle from San Diego all the way down to Colombia. His goal was to come all the way to Argentina but he gave up in Colombia. I have a client that drove his Jeep down from Canada all the way to Buenos Aires. And another client just drove down from Canada all the way to Buenos Aires. Some of the photos and stories he told me were amazing. And incredible photos too. Here is one that he sent me from the trip.

Wow! Those prices are actually really cheap. I was expecting motorcycles to be much more down there. Surprised to read your post. I am trying to move down to BA next year. My dream is to ride around Argentina. I will bookmark your website. That was what I was told by @BuySellBA about only needing a CDI and domicile. They already got my CDI # for me remotely. I need that to buy an apartment.

Do you have a YouTube channel @xfiltrate with any of your journeys across Argentina? I'd love to see that. I am going to look for that audio now! Thanks for posting. Refreshing to read stuff about this.

Yes, the prices surprise a lot of people. Because of MERCOSUR, many of the smaller Hondas are assembled in Brazil or Argentina, so they avoid the heavy import taxes that make motorcycles expensive in some other countries. That’s why bikes like the XR series or the NX Falcons can actually end up costing less here than in the U.S.

Argentina is also an incredible place to ride. You can travel thousands of kilometers and see everything from the Andes to the Atlantic coast without ever leaving pavement if you don’t want to.

If you’re planning to move to Buenos Aires next year, you’re doing the right thing by getting the CDI and domicilio sorted out early. Once you have that, a lot of things here become much easier.

As for videos, we don’t run a dedicated YouTube channel, but we do have travel videos and stories from our rides around Argentina and South America on our website:

www.xfiltrate.com

There’s also a video there explaining how the Buy-Ride-Sell program works for travelers who want to purchase a motorcycle, tour Argentina, and later sell it back through the dealer.

And if you listen to Adventure Rider Radio, you might enjoy the episode “Deep Trouble – If I survive this I will never complain again.” That’s Elisa being interviewed by host Jim Martin about one of our rides in the Andes.

Argentina is a fantastic place for motorcycle travel. If you end up making the move to BA, feel free to stay in touch. Always happy to help fellow riders get pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing that — those long journeys through the Americas tend to stay with people forever.

Your friend who made it from San Diego to Colombia already accomplished something pretty special. Central America alone can be an adventure. Every border crossing has its own personality and every country feels a little different.

We’ve met quite a few travelers over the years who came all the way down from Canada or the U.S. to Buenos Aires — some on motorcycles, some in Jeeps or overland trucks. The stories are always incredible because the trip itself becomes the destination.

On one of my earlier rides north from Costa Rica toward Los Angeles in the late 1960s, I actually ended up hiding in a ditch with my motorcycle in Guatemala after being warned that a couple of angry locals were looking for the “gringo with the bike.” Their truck drove right past while I sat there in the weeds with the engine off.

Since that day I’ve always toasted ditches in the road — sometimes they save your life.

Argentina is a fantastic country for riding once you get here. Huge distances, good roads, and landscapes that change every few hundred kilometers — Andes, desert, forests, and the Atlantic coast.

My wife Elisa and I have spent years exploring the country by motorcycle and have ridden through eight South American countries so far. If anyone here ever ends up planning a ride in Argentina, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to share what we’ve learned. We have ridden Spain to Turkey and back and the USA coast to coast. We have Hondas in Argentina, BMWs in Spain and KLR -650s at our ranch in Arizona.

We’ve also posted some travel videos and information about riding in Argentina on our site:

You have some great posts on here @xfiltrate. You may want to start a new thread and put the topic about buying or riding motorcycles in Argentina so people can find this post. You have some really great gems in this thread. I had no ideas motorcycles were so inexpensive here. Like everyone else I assumed they were double the price. And I have lived here a while.

Until I read this post I didn't know people were making long journeys like this from the USA to Argentina. It's fascinating. I heard it was very dangerous to go through some of these areas.

I am going to send your website to some friends of mine that dreamed of driving down here but I told them it would be too dangerous. I guess I am wrong.

Thanks for the kind words — I really appreciate it.

Starting a separate thread about riding or buying motorcycles in Argentina is a great suggestion. I may do that so the information is easier for people to find.

A lot of people are surprised about the motorcycle prices here. Because of MERCOSUR, motorcycles assembled in Argentina or Brazil avoid the heavy import taxes placed on bikes coming from outside the region. That’s why smaller Hondas like the XR series can actually be less expensive here than in the U.S.

As for riding from North America to Argentina — people do it every year. The route most riders take is the Pan-American Highway, and while there are areas where you need to use common sense and stay informed, the trip is generally far safer than many people imagine.

My wife Elisa and I have ridden motorcycles through eight South American countries, much of it entirely on pavement. Argentina in particular is a fantastic place to ride — huge landscapes, good roads, and very friendly people.

If anyone is curious about the big rides, take a look at Globebusters.com. They organize motorcycle expeditions all over the world, and riders can join using their own motorcycles. One year Elisa and I worked with them as fixers in South America for a ride that went all the way from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina.

And of course if your friends are curious about riding in Argentina, feel free to pass along my site. I mostly created it to share information for riders thinking about exploring Argentina on two wheels.

Thanks again for the encouragement — I’m glad people are enjoying the stories.

The videos are nice. I just went to your website and saw the links to the bikes. They look nice! Those prices seem really reasonable. That was surprising to read your post on the prices.




How old are those videos from your site? They look ancient. No offense I hope.

The Buy & Sell video on our site was filmed last year (2025). www.xfiltrate.com

The South American Video Diaries and Overland Fitness videos were filmed roughly 2004–2015, so yes… some of them are getting a little “vintage.”

Back then we didn’t have drones, 4K cameras, or YouTube production crews, cell phones or GPS. Our filming equipment consisted of:
• whatever camera we could afford
• duct tape
• and Elisa producing, directing, filming, and putting up with the talent — me.

On the bright side, the roads, mountains, and border crossings in South America still look much the same — only the riders have a few more gray hairs now.

Maybe it’s time we film some new ones… but the old ones do prove we’ve actually been riding the world for a while. Actually I rode the Pan American Costa Rica to Los Angeles in 1968, after serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Puerto Limón, Costa Rica. I caught the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and the Tlatelolco Massacre almost caught me. 😄

You have been at this a long time which is great to see on your website. I can tell you really love what you do. Is it just a hobby or a business? Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[Uncle Wong]

Here is the prices of some garage spots but it's in a private building. @BuySellBA just posted on their X. They said the building is in Palermo Hollywood.

 

[xfiltrate]

@xfiltrate is Maria from that video single???

@UncleWong — excellent investigative journalism.

As for Maria… I’m afraid that information is classified under the Honda Dealer Protection Program.

However, I can confirm two things:

1. Yes, Maria works at the Honda agency we partner with.
2. The Buy & Sell video features not one but two extremely photogenic Argentine women who know far more about motorcycles than most of us.

The only responsible way to answer your question is the scientific method: watch the video and report back to the forum with your findings.

Warning: side effects may include sudden urges to buy a motorcycle and ride across Argentina.

@Finance Prof
Good question. It started as a coral for our motorcycles, and turned into an investment that is way more fun than it should be.

When we first started spending time in Buenos Aires I noticed something odd: very few of the big parking garages will accept motorcycles. Meanwhile Argentina is motorcycle crazy. In January 2026 alone more than 68,000 new motorcycles were sold, and the country ranks third in South America for motorcycle ownership, with about 24% of the population owning one.

That’s a lot of motorcycles looking for a place to sleep.

So Xfiltrate Motorcycle Parking became an investment — sort of like owning rental property that’s run by a management company. Elisa and I live about 350 km south in Pinamar, and our local representatives in Buenos Aires (who are far better looking than the owners) handle the day-to-day operations.

We split the year six months at our ranch in Arizona and six months in Argentina, and we’re both permanent residents here.

So yes, technically it’s a business…

But honestly it’s so exciting, I can’t spit — an old Southwestern expression.

I guess I’m just a displaced cowboy who somehow turned into a gaucho with a motorcycle parking garage.

Life takes some interesting turns.

You read my mind! I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful woman.

I are going to get an old guy like me going to that Honda dealership just to look for the two beautiful women. Probably will end up buying a motorcycle I do not need! 🤣

Veronica is also cute. I see your plan. To get people to buy a Honda from Maria and then have Veronica rent us the spot. Suddenly they are going to wonder why/how sales spiked.

What an origin story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Posts like yours are far more fun than reading how Milei has doomed the country.


Now that we got you here what is your opinion of Milei? 🤣

It would be interesting to hear from you since it sounds like you have been in Argentina a while and have a vested interest in seeing the country improve and not just the price of a steak. Do you think he is doing well? Have you seen an improvement in your life since he started? And do you think he will get re-elected? Thanks. Enjoy your posts.

@xfiltrate I’m still trying to figure out if this is a business… or just a clever excuse to hang around motorcycles and interesting people.

Before I saw your video I would have guessed that only macho guys ride around in motorbikes. But somehow seeing two beautiful girls involved with motorcycles makes me think you are one of the biggest geniuses in the world if those kind of women are around that business.

You probably talked your wife into hanging around bikes in Argentina after seeing them in the store. 😆

Are there many females that ride across Argentina? That can't be common can it?

I try to stay above politics whenever possible — life is a lot more peaceful that way.

What caught my attention at the time was that he opened a Tier-1 campaign office here in Pinamar. This stretch of coast — Pinamar, Cariló, etc. — is where many of Argentina’s wealthier families have their summer homes, so when someone plants a serious campaign flag here it usually suggests they believe something significant may happen.

Around that time I told a few friends I thought he might win. My “method,” if you can call it that, was remote viewing.

Remote viewing was developed in the 1970s during intelligence experiments and involves attempting to perceive information about distant or unseen targets using structured mental protocols. Some people think it’s fascinating, others think it’s nonsense.

Elisa says it wasn’t remote viewing at all — she says I’m just an old cowboy watching patterns. Of course, a good glass of Argentine wine improves remote viewing accuracy by at least 20%. Some people use polling data — I apparently use Argentine wine and beach time.

One pattern that’s hard to ignore is the currency. When Elisa and I first rolled into Buenos Aires during a sabbatical year, the exchange rate was about 3 Argentine pesos to 1 U.S. dollar. Today it’s roughly 1,395 pesos to 1 dollar.

Anyone who has lived here long enough knows the peso tells quite a story. Depending on your perspective, that single number can be used to argue both sides of the “better or worse” debate.

Argentina has been through some remarkable economic swings, but one thing hasn’t changed — the people, the culture, and the reasons we keep coming back.

😄 I’m afraid I can’t take credit for that level of genius. The truth is motorcycles attract interesting people, and Argentina seems to produce some very impressive riders — including women.

If you want to see what modern female adventure riders are doing, take a look at Noraly Schoenmaker, better known as Itchy Boots:
https://www.youtube.com/@ItchyBoots

She’s currently riding across China, but before that she rode extensively through South America, including Argentina. Her channel has millions of followers and she’s probably the most famous solo motorcycle traveler in the world right now.

What surprises many people is that women riding solo (“one-up”) across South America is no longer unusual. Twenty years ago most women traveled two-up (as passenger with a partner). Today a growing number ride their own bikes solo.

On the big overland routes you’ll regularly see women from Europe, the U.S., and South America riding independently. The adventure riding community estimates that roughly 15–20% of long-distance adventure riders are now women, and the number keeps growing every year.

Argentina is actually a great country for it — good paved roads, long distances, spectacular scenery, and a strong motorcycle culture.

And yes… the women at our Honda partner dealership do know a lot about motorcycles. I suspect they could out-ride most of us on this forum.

 

[xfiltrate]

Somewhere along the trail I traded my horse for a motorcycle and my cowboy hat for a gaucho beret… and honestly the ride just keeps getting better.
Somewhere along the way we realized we weren’t really in the parking business… we were in the adventure logistics business.
I guess Elisa and I accidentally created a small outpost for wandering motorcyclists. un abrazo fuerte y buenas noches
