Hi all,

We are travelling down to Sierra Golf (Murcia) 20th July.

I have a 2010 plate Mercedes C250 Cdi. Blue Efficiency Estate. 2.1L. Rare manual gearbox. Full service history, 104,000 miles. Great condition.

It has:

4 relatively new Michelin tyres less than 10,000 miles

1 x new radiator 2 yrs ago

New battery, new front suspension springs and drop links, recent AC service.

New front discs and pads

MoTd until April 2023

Looking to swap for a good condition Spanish registered vehicle, preferably an estate model, but others considered. Ideally someone who is travelling back to UK.

Cash either way is possible.

Thanks in advance

It is not as simple as signing a piece of paper and sending it off to the DVLA and even locals will often use a gestor. Debts, fines and unpaid tax stay with the car here.
Consider getting a sale agreement with a UK garage (with an extra x amount of mileage) and have your car transported back to the UK as the value of your UK plated car here will be low but in the UK second hand car prices are high. You will then have a bigger choice of the whole second hand market here and if you buy from a dealer you will have a warranty.
