Decent second hand car
 
How much for decent second hand car, say three years old, something like a fiesta for instance would expect would be the norm to pay?

Hi SmartiesUK,

Try this website, it will give you a general idea ;)

You can also try ebay by typing "lhd spain" in your search.

Used cars of 3yrs old are not as common as in the UK. Spanish folk tend to hold onto their cars for a lot longer, probably due to them buying them on finance over 8 or more years.
I do know however of someone who sells ex hire cars, these are around 2-3 yrs old. So it is possible.
Spanish cars do not depriciate very fast, a so expect to pay around
30-40% more for a used model than you would get the same one for in the UK

Re Ebay that was how we bought ours, also try Ebay in Spain some will include change of ownership within the price.

Hi
When we looked we found that a car a year old was about 1500 E less than a new model
As said before Spainsh used cars not so common
We were offerd a secondhand hire car direct from the Hire company, they have a list of cars for sale. They are called Europa Cars.
But then again any fines that are on car belong to the car not the driver.
My other half decided on a new model.
There are some good deals offered and some great discounts.

I don't know the person concerned. But they are based in Benalmadena.
A friend of mine bought through them. If you need further info I will ask for the exact location.
