Hi, I'm looking to buy a really cheap run around car to use whilst we are at our Holiday Home. We will only be using it for around 10 weeks a year which is to much to rent but not long enough to be worth getting a good car

Looking to spend up to 1500 Euros but the cheaper the better

We will be needing it by the time we come out on the 31st July so if anyone has any plans to sell theirs in the next few months give me a shout and we can sort a deal out. Happy to only do the transfer when you are actually ready
Thinking that there may be people that are returning to the UK but will need their car until the time is right etc

I'm over for a week 12th Feb and again for a couple weeks beginning of April so can have any discussions or meets then

Be very careful buying a car privately in Spain as it may end up costing you a lot more if there are outstanding fines or unpaid road tax.

Even the Spanish often use a gestor.

Quite a strange answer, are you saying that a cheap car can’t be safe!

Hi, re looking for a cheap run around!! Our elderly neighbours had to return to UK on health grounds. House and car up for sale The car was an old Accord. Used minimally by couple and regularly serviced. Think it's due an ITV this month, car not used since June. Owner is in UK but car can be viewed by contacting their lawyers in Quesada. Sure it will be in your price range. I can give you his UK mobile if you are interested. X

Is in UK different?
