Hi.

I’m a little undecided. 

Would it be a good idea to change my car headlights to European ones and register my English car in Spain.  Or should I just buy a Spanish car.  My car is fairly new.  Needless to say money is an issue.

Hi Robi

Sell in the UK, your car is practically worthless here.

Sell in the uk - you will get more for it.

Buy anew here in spain - yes it might cost you more than you were expecting to pay for the equivalent in the uk- but NO HASSLE with changing documentation etc etc.
