Before buying a new car in Spain (forget about used) get as much information as possible from the internet. It's a rip off. I bought 2 brand new vehicles in Germany appr. 40% cheaper than what the Spaniards asked for. In general, they have little or no interest selling for cash.

If you mean dealers have no interest in ‘cash’, this may be because they are not permitted to accept over a certain amount in actual ‘cash’. Also, here, the tax office is much more linked in to the records of businesses than they are in UK and everything has to be accounted for in detail, there is no avoiding the IVA (VAT). As a business they will be heavily fined if they are discovered attempting to evade any official requirements, as will any customer who colluded in this way. It’s simply not worth it.

Hi everyone,
Looking to buy a new car, does anyone know of a reputable dealer here in Torrevieja.
Thanks
