Re: Buying a car!
Do you have a UK car? If not buy one. Drive that over with your goods and chattels and trade it for a Spanish car once you have your NEI and pardon.

Re: Buying a car!
Yes Missile! That was the conclusion I came to earlier today... We plan to drive over our Toyota Yaris. The only trouble is I am having a bunion op a few days before and it is not an automatic! í ½í¸³

Yes, I meant padron - my auto spelling "corrected" it to pardon.
My sympathies for your bunion op. I remember mine was very sore and the joint still gives me pain. Perhaps your partner could drive?

Ahh! Yes just had right foot done after Christmas. It is fine now, no pain. Left one in July.
He might have to! But it is a bit of a long way for one person to be the sole driver...í ½í¸ª

I have done it many times. Why rush? Make the journey a holiday, there are many places worth stopping for a day or two on route.

Re: Buying a car!
Ahh thanks Ken! We plan to drive it all the way home again to give to our daughter or swap it for a LHD from an expat wishing to drive back to the UK...
That's the plan, anyway.

You need to make the rules or you will get visits from family you never new you had. Just a word from one who learned the hard way xxx

Re: Buying a car!
We hired a car in Spain last week when we house hunting...Gold car! Perfect! No problem. I understand car rental in Spain is what we would call car leasing.
We don't want to do that because we have some fiddley stuff like sewing machine, golf clubs and guitars that we want to bring with us from UK to Arboleas.
