The 'Guvnor!
Hi a continuation of the motoring threads!
After much debating, I am now about to do a deal on a second hand, Spanish registered, Ford Galaxy here in Spain - two years old and 1.9 diesel which all seems to have a bearing on future taxations. From past enquiries I know that new vehicles have two levels of 'matriculation' (the IVA side of it). If an owner opts to never exceed 100km/p/h the level is lower - but one needs to visit the ITV station to (presumably) validate that the speed limit has been adhered to. The Galaxy I have now seen has a 'speed regulator' built in - a form of speed governor I would assume. Does anyone have any experience of this and of having it removed - any costs involved such as extra taxes etc? Help appreciated - am about to place a deposit. Many thanks. |

Re: The 'Guvnor!
By law all motor traders in Spain have to offer at least a 12mth guarantee on all used cars whatever their age.
As to the speed limiter question, it depends on the type fitted. It could mean at worst a replacement fuel pump (very expensive) or at best a simple case of removing a fuse (costs nothing) I have never come accross the sub 100km/h option for paying less tax though:confused: |

I'm near Torremolinos but the deal I'm looking at is in Madrid. They include a 12 month guarantee which entitles the purchaser to take the car to a main dealer for subsequent repairs.
Are you suggesting that Senor Arturo Daley is still trading but now in Spain? No, Mr. Arfer Daley ihmself!!:eek:
