Hi, not sure what the import tax will be as we moved from France with our RHD Volvo, having moved from the UK some 7 years ago.  Oddly enough I find driving a RHD car here, as we did in France, better all round and have had no problems what so ever.  The Matriculation cost us some euro ...

...700.  Good luck.

Thank you, that is very useful, mine is a Volvo.

Can I asked where you had the work done?

We had the car Matriculation carried out not far from Murcia but there are many others who advertise the service.

Last year I imported a Volvo C70 convertible, 2012. Cost of transportation was £720 from Oxford to Huercal Overa. Matriculation was done by car-registrations-spain in Los Alcazares, they rebuilt the headlights to lhd, did the matriculation and total cost was €1340. Obviously I didn't pay import tax, etc but to give an idea, the car cost me £6750 so with the transport and matriculation my total cost was around €9350, the equivalent car would have cost me €14-15000 for the same, equivalent model. If you ring them or email car-registrations-spain they should be able to give you a good idea what your total costs would be. And by the way, I took the car in at 1000 and all finished by 1400, new plates, ITV came about 2 weeks after by post. Good luck.

Thank you, that is really useful information, I will try and find the contact details for the car-registrations-Spain you mentioned.
