Buying a second hand car Second-hand cars in Spain are often more expensive than in many other EU countries, as cars hold their value better. It often pays to buy a used car that's about two years old, as depreciation in the first one or two years is considerable. Ex- rental cars, are good value. Note, however, that older cars in Spain (outside of their warranty period) aren't always well maintained. You are much better to buy from a reputable dealer, even if you pay a bit more, and obtain a warranty, rather than pick an 'unknown' from the local paper. If you intend to buy a used car in Spain, whether privately or from a dealer, make sure that of the following:
The car has a current ITV test certificate, if applicable; That the chassis number tallies with the registration document, which should be in the name of the seller when a car is purchased privately. That you receive a `transfer of ownership' (transferencia) form from the seller. The form is available from the provincial traffic department. Car dealers usually give warranties on used cars of from three to 12 months, depending on the age of the car and the particular model.
When you buy a second-hand car in Spain you must obtain the following documents from the seller;
1. Registration document (permiso de circulación). The Permiso de Circulacion is the Spanish equivalent of the English Registration document and owner's details have to be changed when vehicles change hands. However, this is a far more complicated process than in the U.K.
2. The ITV test certificate plus the technical sheet 'Ficha Tecnica' and a photocopy.
3. The road tax receipt and a photocopy.
4. A receipt for the payment of transfer tax (4%).
You have 15 days to register the vehicle in your name.
