I am moving to Palomares soon and am looking to buy a second hand car. Preference is for a diesel SUV or Estate car. Any advice or tips greatly appreciated.

First thing you’ll find is that second hand cars hold their price in Spain, and are much more expensive than in UK.  My advice is to buy from a reputable garage, and have them do change of ownership.  If it’s from a garage, there’s much less likelihood of ending up with a vehicle over which there is an embargo - i.e. unpaid fines (in Spain, if you buy a vehicle with unpaid fines or whatever, you become liable for them)

You will need a NIE to purchase the vehicle, and some garages will ask for a copy of Padrón as well (to enable change of ownership with Tráfico)

I recently bought a BMW 725 tds for 800 euros plus 200 euros for the year's tax.She quite old but was being sold by an English bar owner as they were returning to UK.Seemed a good idea at the time but as I already have a Mustang and a Saab cabriolet she cold be sold.If interested get in touch with me.
