Sell or take with us to Spain?
Sell or take with us to Spain?
by Trishetta » Tue Apr 27, 2021 9:11 pm
My partner owns a special edition Audi TT black sline car. He can’t make up his mind whether to take it to Spain when we permanently move there or to sell it before we go.
1) would he get more money for it if he was to sell it in Spain?
2) if he did sell it in Spain would he have to pay a tax on it?
3) how expensive would the car ins and road tax be in Spain?
4) how expensive would car parts be if anything needed repairing and would it be easy to get the parts?
5) is roadside assistance expensive in Spain?
Soooo many things to think about.
There are days I do my own head in thinking about everything! It’s only because we want to be clear about everything and do everything legally without it costing a fortune!

Roadside assist is included in car insurance.
Car would have to be re registered, headlights changed etc etc.
Although second hand cars are more expensive to buy in Spain you would be trying to sell a RHD in a LHD country so that may put off potential purchasers.
In Spain you pay tax on everything lol.

Defo sell in UK
1. RHD makes things awkward. Tolls/parking/airport pay machines if driving alone.
2. Now have to pay import tax.
3. Changing to Spanish plates is certainly not cheap,goes by value of car.
4. Breakdown cover included but insurance a lot more expensive
I own a motorcycle and will have to drive it back to UK to sell it as it is far too expensive to replace it here.

Thank you everyone most helpful....... so we will not be taking with us and will sell in UK before we leave. We will buy a small economical Spanish car when we permanently live there and oh John now wants us both to get a scooter too

somebody posted on fb today that they have been quoted for a 7,200 euros worth of mini 2300€ of import tax alone that doesnt include fees for changing plates etc,,,,, make your decision based on that type of info!

Crazy! My partner said earlier he will definitely sell it in the UK before moving to Spain. Useful to know though

Trishetta please check this out with a professional before crossing the bridge the import tax could be correct but just make sure it applies to your case as it’s your household stuff and using a right hand drive has never been a problem in 7 years for me ok car park tickets awkward,prices for repairs probably cheaper here,insurance much better in my experience,ITV (mot )great no dodgy garage involved in that,I say about the import tax as I’ve been told totally different experiences on this subject

I will check with Spanish consulate as I’m very worried about this. Common sense would tell me no as they are used household items and we are permanently moving to Spain....... BUT then who knows! I don’t want to get caught short as we could not afford to pay 21% tax on every item that we are taking with us (basically all the contents of a 3 bed house and some garden stuff!). Thank you
