Total silence, and tumbleweed rolling down the streets...............................

I know that when buying a car there is a charge for changing titles over. My Dad has done this a few times. He said it was about 500 euro's. But as he bought from a dealer and they took care of the paper work.

The are people the offer this service that advertise in the Costa Blanca news. It can be done by post

Hi Stuart

We purchased an old 4x4 which was registered in Spain from some English friends, and the gestor took charge of all the paperwork involved.  It took absolutely ages but the charge was only about 200e as far as I remember.

I have read somewhere than when purchasing a vehicle that it is a good idea to go to the gestor with the vendor so that you can get a check on any fines or taxes due and ensure that they are deducted from the purchase price.  We were told that the purchaser is responsible for the transfer costs.

Hope that this helps

Tony
