We are moving to Mojacar in June and would really appreciate any advice or recommendations for car dealers either in or close to Mojacar. Thanks so much!
Costa coaches in Antas....do not confuse them with the ones in Mojacar!.... English speaking brother and sister.. . We told them what we were looking for and they found one quickly.... many cars on forecourt as well. They have serviced and done itv on it ever since.

We bought a used car online using Car Outlet.Es. and would recommend them.
https://caroutlet.es/all-our-cars/I was obviously anxious but they have good reviews and we were spending around £600-800 a trip on hire cars. However, used cars are expensive in Spain.

We made a link with Lisa, who spoke good English and suggested cars that might fit our brief. Once we had narrowed it down to a 4 year old Ford Fiesta, she showed us the car via video, when we could ask questions. Any minor scratches were pointed out and it came serviced and with a warranty too.
They do want a deposit as soon as you agree to buy, which felt scary, but the whole process went really smoothly and Lisa couldn't have been more helpful. The car was near Alicante but we were flying into Almeria, so they delivered it to the airport for 100€. This meant we could immediately cancel £1,300 of car hire for our next two trips.
This was 6 months ago. Since then, we have had a minor problem with a piece of rubber coming away from a back window seal (not covered by the warranty but repaired for 15€) but otherwise have been very pleased.
I also bought unseen with Caroutlet My contact was Lia who was excellent. Sorted the car the insurance everything that was needed. The car came up to expectations and I would use them again.

Thank you so much for this advice. That's given us strong confidence in this as a potential route and if we proceed, I hope we are as fortunate to enjoy a similar experience.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply. It is very much appreciated.
Hi I have just read your post. We are coming over in July and need a car, can I ask who is Lisa? Was she a sales person for the car company?
Many Thanks

The person I spoke to Lia was the contact. Speaks very good English and it was important to me that the car had not been owned by a smoker. She.was very honest in her assessment of the vehicle and guided me through the sale.

Apologies, it WAS Lia and she was the sales rep. Others have obviously found her equally helpful, although I would still have a look at what's available locally too.
