I recently bought a place in Torrevieja and routinely rent a car for use whilst here. I'm thinking of buying one, insuring it in Spain, and using it when I come here.  Does anyone know:

1. Reputable second hand car dealers.

2. Is there a company/ service provider that will routinely keep a car ticking over, do the ITV tests etc and pick people up from the airport? Someone even doing this on a partial basis might be fine. 

3. Is there an issue getting insurance for a non-resident (non-resident for now). 

thanks

Declan

Declan, a number of the long stay car parks at Alicante Airport do turn the engines for you and pick up and drop off too. Not sure about ITV testing though. 

As for second hand car dealers I'd imagine they are much of a muchness but I'm sure you'll be well advised of any of the crooks to avoid.
