Hi Lees,

I don't have a car for sale sadly, but you may be unaware that the process of purchasing a car here in Spain is not the same as in UK. Its not a case of paying for the car then completing the green form, sending it to DVLA and the car is then transferred to you.

Here in Spain, you will pay for the purchase of the car, and then you have to go to a Hestor and pay around €300 for having the car transferred into your name (only)

You may also wish to check on when the service date and ITV are due as this will also fall to you.

Purchasing a car out here is costly which not many are aware of or budget for. To be safe, I would have an extra €600-€700 available on top of whatever your budget for buying the car is.

with blessings

Try Andy at castalla cars in the town, he is the local english mechanic and he quite often has run around cars for sale. He would then take care of the paperwork in the correct and legal way.
