Title: Car purchase/change owner costs.
Post by briand6868 on Mar 29^th, 2012 at 2:33pm

Hola, Anyone know the approx costs via a gestor to change the ownership on a car - working out the viability of buying in Spain and changing owner v buying in Ireland and driving it out.
Thanks,
Briand. :D

Hi Smidge, At the moment here's how it stands

Ireland - Car Purchase + anticipated upgrades e1500
         Transport to Spain (low season) e600
            Spanish reg costs - itv,lights,fees,gestor etc -e800

            Total to drive a e1500 car = e2900

Spain - Change of owner fees e140
This leaves me with e2760 in Spain to shop for an equivalent to a e1500 car in Ireland.

                              I'm coming over for a few days over the Easter hols and will trawl a few car lots and let you know my findings.

For e1000 I'd be looking at a 00reg Avensis 80k miles then allowing e500 for changing tyres, repairs,timing belt, etc.

Have a look at www.coches.net, a bit like Autotrader. Lots of dealers who should sort the paperwork for you.

Planespete - a great site and makes up my mind really, buy in Spain - cheaper and a lot less hassle.

Avalidopinion - just like the 7.30 commuter to Dublin or O Learys planes if he could get away with it !!
