Will I be able to sell our rhd car in costa Blanca

Will I be able to sell our rhd car in costa Blanca

We have just bought a property in Quesada and We plan to move late summer. What are our chances do you think, of us being able to sell our rhd car in Spain. Would save us trying to buy lhd here before we leave.

There are always people going back to the UK. Friends swapped their Spanish vehicle for a U.K. One when leaving Spain. I have seen garages offering RHD cars but I don't know about prices. We sent ours back by carrier for our son. We came over with only a Car Load as our Holiday Home already had everything we needed.

You won't get much money in Spain for it even re-registering its de-valueing for the UK market.Been there and done it.

I would get a years mot on it before you come over ...u can use it on uk plates for 6 months ...although I see loads that have been here much longer than 6 months !!!

Don't sell it straight away or send it back to uk .....you might decide spain is not for you full time after a few months and won't have enough a car to go back in or left with a Spanish car you now need to sell ......this is the situation we are in .....just give it 6 months before you decide to sell your uk car ...

Not quite right. If the OP is intending to move over to Spain to live and become a resident, they have 30 days in which to start the process of re-registration. Up to 6 months is for visitors only if they have no intention of moving over.
If this is done, the car becomes part of the private goods removal and no taxes are payable (except, of course, the registration tax which we all have to pay).
You must make your intentions clear although, as you say, many (for some reason Brits) don't bother and just keep the car as long as they like.
However, if you take out residency and continue to drive a UK car then you can be fined as Spanish residents cannot drive a foreign registered car unless it is part of a UK registered business or the registered foreign owner is in the car with them.
