Buying a second-hand car in Ayamonte
Could anybody give me advice in connection of buying a second-hand car in Ayamonte ? Are there some reputable car dealers around there ? Any recommendations or experience ? Looking for an economic car.
Moving to Costa Esuri in February and obviously have to wait for my NIE. How long does a NIE take to be issued ?
Thanks guys.

Re: Buying a second-hand car in Ayamonte
When you buy a second-hand car, is there a special tax to be paid ?
Is this the same whether you buy from private or from a car dealer ?
I heard of a 4% tax on the original price ( list price ).
Can someone put me into the picture, please !
Thanks

Most dealers are correct. There is only one I would not recommend at all as he is impossible to deal with in case of problems, I will send you his name in private. If you go to Eurotallers (ex Ford), Meri, the owner speaks fluently English. The advantage of buying to a professionnal dealer are that they do all the paperwork for you, and, by law, you systematically have a one year guarantee.

Thanks Jean-Michel and Mike. Sounds reassuring, buying a second-hand car is one of the most scary things !?

Hi Irlanda,
Can you advise on the additional costs of buying a 2nd hand car - MoT, Road Tax, Insurance, etc? I visit the area about 3/4 times a year for about 2 months in total but that might rise. I'm trying to decide on the merits of buying as opposed to renting.

If you spent two monthes a year in the country, it is not interesting for you to buy a car, except if you come in summer when the car rentals are very expensive.

Hi Jean Michel,
I would still be interested in getting the costs. If I bought a 2nd hand for approximately €4,000, I guess insurance €400 (2 people, full licence, no claims), MoT €80, road tax €200, service €150 and general maintenance on average €250 pa. would that be a fair estimate?

I am assuming a Ford Focus 1.8 Trend or similar, probably pre 2008.
