You have 6 months after becoming resident. After that date the police can impound the vehicle and fine you.

If you "import" it at the time that you apply for residencia then you will avoid the registration tax which is either 7% or 12% depending on the car. You will have to pay other costs though.

There is a first hand write up of the process here http://tinyurl.com/j7gcb
