Hi All,

Looking into purchasing a car in Quesada as fed up of dealing with the likes of Goldcar and prices are steep for a 7 seater which we would require.

Can anyone recommend a garage in and around Quesada for purchasing a car?

TIA

Autos Direct outside San Miguel get a good reputation. I bought from them a month ago and they have a good selection of cars. All come with 3 yrs servicing

Another one to try is Easy Cars at Punta Prima on the 332 as they use 7 seaters in there car hire so usualy have some for sale as they dont allow them to do huge mileages before there changed.

Considering the ridiculous second hand prices in Spain, have a think about a brand new Dacia 7 seater Lodgy for example which start around €12k . . . when we were looking around, 7 seater Picasso's for example were going for around €14k and most of them were replated French imports with 120,000km+ on the clock.
Dacias are good basic cars, we eventually opted for the Sandero Stepway 5 seater. They have cheap servicing costs, comparatively low insurance, no ITV for 4 years and our Suma is €20 a year . . . worth a thought . .

I agree. Have a Dacia Sandero Stepway for 3 years now. Good car.

Here, here. Our Dacia Stepway will be 2 next month. Wonderful car! Sadly, it seems to spend more time off the road than on it but we too were fed up hiring cars and decided to buy a brand new one which potentially would serve our holiday needs for years.

Only prob I had with Dacia was when I was going to lease from them they would only offer me about 25% less than other garages for my trade in
