Hi. We are moving to Roquetas early August and wish to buy a new car as soon as possible. Does anyone know if we can preorder whilst still in the UK? If we can’t does anyone know how long it takes to take delivery of a new car. TIA

It seems to be 4 to 6 months in Ireland and UK so probably the same in Spain

Depends on the garage and what you want. I ordered a new car in 2019 and waited a fortnight

Hi - which garage did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

Juan Enrique in La Mojonera. I take it back each year for a service and next year they're going to do the itv as well. The lady behind the counter knows a little English but I usually struggle through with Spanish. When I hadn't use the car much during Covid the service was cheaper, they didn't try to rip me off.
