If you visit Campasol and look in the various shop windows there are quite a few adverts for second hand cars for sale - some look a bit dodgy though! The prices for relative high milers compared to the UK seem outrageously high (2 or 3 times higher) and I would look at registering a UK car that you know well as an alternative, as that may be better log term value for money. There are plenty of firms that will assist you with the process. The only down side that I can see is the right hand drive issue - especially when driving alone through toll gates etc.

There is a used car dealer near San javier airport called SVG. There are also a lot of main dealers who have 2nd hand in Cartagena. They are along the Los Dolores road. They usually have an english speaker on staff. We bought my trusty Twingo from the Renault dealer and had excellent customer service.

Our last car came from Torrevieja area where there are loads of second hand car dealers and usually speak english but aftercare not as goood as the Spanish Renault dealer and we had spent 4 times as much .

We took some friends up to Totrrevieja for a look along the N332 strip and they bought from Pilar de Horadada at a little garage where they sell tyres just off the N332. The girl in the office speaks english but they only have 1 or 2 cars.

Most of the second hand dealers advertise in the free press so you can get some idea of prices. They are more expensive than UK but would not want to drive a right hand drive over here and you have to factor in the cost of the transfer to Spanish plates.

 If Spanish registerred  make sure you see they have paid all car tax due, see a receipt from last year . no debt on vehicles is passed on for you to pay. So be wary of buying from a private dealer.

 

If UK make sure they have DVLA documents  and that it can be transferred to you and that it has not been de registerred at DVLa and also  no debt on vehicle as well.

 

Find out Tax obligation before you buy especially if on UK plates-  import tax

 

http://www.p-pservices.com/  have a lot of experience with car registration
