Car re-registration
Hi all,
We are looking to buy a used Spanish registered car in the near future.
Can anyone tell me what is the cost to have registered in my name.
Thanks.
Dave.

If you buy from a dealer the transfer is normally included in the price. If private I was quoted 120 euro for a motorbike so car should be around that .

I am only giving what I was quoted if there is an increase due to price of the vehicle then yes that may increase the cost? Certainly if from a dealer most include the transfer cost. Maybe you can give the op a more definite answer?

Re: Car re-registration
The transfer tax is based on the new price of the car, discounted for age. The tax rate varies from region to region. In most places it is 4%, but can be as high as 8%. Valencia is 6%.
Either party can pay it by agreeing between themselves. I would expect a dealer to include it in the price.

Re: Car re-registration
Please be careful buying a used car in Spain - even from a dealer. You inherit any debts or fines accrued by the previous owner and left unpaid so the transfer of the car creates a pathway straight to the new owner whom they then consider to be liable. Nightmare!
