 Hi

I have taken the advice on this forum and decided that I will be better off with a Spanish registered car for my house in Spain so ..............

I want to buy something like a diesel Astra/Focus estate or hatchback  for about €3000 and want to sell a RHD UK plated Fiesta with about 49000 miles on the clock for about €800.  Any ideas out there?

I would also like some advice. If I buy a car privately, what are the procedures and what are the pitfalls? Also, I understand that the ITV is the equivalent to the UK MOT - is there an equivalent to the Road Tax?

Thanks in anticipation ...........

Tony

 There are a number of procedures and considerations that you need to be aware of here, and if corners are cut somewhere then problems can come back on you further down the line.

 - With regards to selling your UK Vehicle in Spain, you may find the article here useful  - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/130-selling-a-uk-car-in-spain.html as this will tell you how to legally square things with the DVLA in the UK.

- Buying a Spanish used car privately can be a minefield and you should check that the required paperwork is completed correctly, or you may be liable for debts, speeding tickets and fines, embargoes etc.. from the previous owner  - take a look at this article here which will tell you a little more  - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/73-checks-to-make-before-buying-a-used-car-in-spain.html
