Hi this is the first time I have needed to buy a used car here in Spain and after visiting many dealerships I have found the car I want but my concern is that although the company is on many websites. , they don't seem to have a showroom Their address is actually their home address. Should I be worried ? I have checked out the company name and it is a trading registered company. They have offered a years guarantee too . Could anyone please advise if this is normal practice . Thanks

Confusing, you say you have visited many dealerships and found the car you want, then you talk about a business that doesn't have a showroom only a home address! If this is the case, what "dealerships" did you visit, home addresses?

As in the UK, this is a sure sign that a trade seller is "trading" as a private seller = buyer beware.

Other common scam when sellers name does not match documents:
"I am selling on behalf of my friend."
