I'm a non-resident and not on the Padron. My NIE certificate is one of those issued when they were doing the 3 month validity thing. I bought a second hand car when the certificate was valid, then a couple of months ago I traded that car in for a different one (also second hand). I was able to use my original NIE certificate (the one with the 3 month validity clause on the bottom) to buy the car without a problem.

Somtimes the car companies copy the document and blank out the statement about the three month validity!
this is ok if you can get away with it but my solisitor told me this was not acceptable.
