TonySam,
the company that we used is "The Garage", they work in conjunction with CAT Services (La Alfoquia), my ford S-Max 2007 is costing just under 1900 Euros to switch over, but that is me NOT doing anything to it personally, someone else is doing all the paperwork and mechanical matriculation.
That price includes -
Traffico
pre-ITV check
Ordering relevant parts and changing all lights over, 4 new tyres on and ensuring the car is identical to "BUILD SHEET"
ITV
ALL paperwork
Emissions Tax
Import.
The list goes on.
We had only been here a year when wanted to get this done to be legal on the roads, our grasp of the Spanish language and system is minuscule, so this early on I would rather have someone that knows what they are doing - do it. YES, I know its a lot of money, BUT it can also be a lot of time wasted trying to negotiate the system and work out who on the forums is just full of crap and who isn't.
Why would we want to get a right hand drive car matriculated to drive on Spanish roads, "better the devil you know" scenario I think, in hindsight, we would have been better getting a car over here, but then the resale value of a non matriculated right hand drive car here in Spain is pretty dismal. So we decided to keep it until its last gasp, its not that far of now....lol
With so many conflicting perspectives, we just wanted to have it done and have it done right.
Best of Luck
