buying a new car
When looking at prices for new cars in ads, are there any hidden charges not mentioned, that are automatically accepted as normal by Spaniards, also having seen various comments on car buying it seems that buying on credit is done in almost all cases, and over quite a long period in comparison to the U.K., so, does paying cash get a good discount from dealers, or do they try to do the hard sell and push credit schemes ?.

The only 'deals' I got was with accessories and window tinting etc. Whatever dealership/bike shop I went to they all referred to the same price list as issued by the manufacturers.

The only deals I have seen are on last years stuff that they hadn`t sold yet, to make room for the new stuff.
