Hi. We have just started living in Benidorm.  We are looking to buy a Spanish registered motorhome to enable us to travel back and forwards to UK , and all over! Looking for a used very good condition unit with Sat nav and towbar fitted. No more than 10 years old and no more than 80000km. Would travel radius of 100km from Benidorm. Thanks. Phill and Gail

May I suggest that you go to a recognised professional seller.  There is a rule here that all vehicles sold  privately have a compulsory 6 month guarantee form the SELLER.

A friend of mine privately sold a lovely car in perfect condition and three weeks later the new owners were back claiming for a blown up engine.

They are now going to court which might take years.

Yes. Fair enough. I don't suppose you know of any companies with a good reputation within 100km of Benidorm?

Hello Phills 61, as a matter of fact I do. 

For years I have used Caravanas Cruz at Elche.  They are on the Rondo Sur but have a good website with map.
They also have a very good shop and a repair workshop.

Never had cause for complaint.

I hope you find what you want.  Good luck.

For what it's worth, don't get hung up on the mileage, I'd rather have a van with high miles and service history, than a lower mileage van that's been sat with all the rubber and plastic parts deteriorating. Spain is a huge country attached to the rest of Europe so the distances covered are much more than in the UK. 

My own Van has 425,000 kilometres on it. I have just got back from a month travelling down to Gibraltar and the length of Portugal. We are now preparing for a trip into southern Italy, then back up and into Greece.

Is there a reason (other than distance) why you are looking to purchase locally?

Maybe warranty etc?


Our last 4 motorhomes were all bought in Germany, much bigger choice of model and easier to get the layout required. 

Some examples are https://m.mobile.de/wohnwagen/search.html?dam=0&ref=srpHead&s=Motorhome&sb=rel&vc=Motorhome&refId=f5a8fa58-4241-f4dc-336d-d1395fb7ed9e


Appreciate you may not want the additional travel/admin required.
