Hi, Does anyone know if there's a website that deals with people who sell cars privately rather than going through a car dealer? Thank you. Regards, Michael O'Donoghue.

You could try Facebook marketplace but be careful, double check all paperwork etc etc.

Mick the paperwork for buying it privately and doing the ownership transfer yourself is a pain. It is advised to use a Gestor. They will charge about €100-€120 but it will be done correctly.

Here's a post from TalkQuesada which tells you what you need.

Also a link which tells you the year of the car from the number plate
