I think it all depends on whether you are buying new or second hand.
As others have said if you are buying new best just check the price difference between UK and Spain and if the price is similar buy in Spain.
If you are looking for a second hand car then these are much cheaper in UK as there are far more available due to car leasing agreements being so popular. In Spain people seem to buy the car and then keep it many years - there does not seem to be the same feeling of need to have a car less than a certain age. So second hand cars seem to be scarcer (especially recent models) and more expensive.
If you do think of importing a UK model find the co2 figures and have a word with one of the many companies who will do the registration for you. A tax is charged based on the co2 level, in addition to this you will have to have the headlights and possibly rear fog light and reversing light changed plus an ITV to get spanish paperwork and plates.
I hope this helps.
