Some neighbours of mine have done it twice, so it can´t be that hard. From the little I know you must, change headlights & re-register with the spanish DVLC, probably best to speak to an Asoria - that´s someone who deals with the spanish paperwork.

Thanks for that, didnt even think of lights but now you mentioned i remember neighbours having to put yellow stuff on theirs when they went to france. i think i give my local dvl a ring see what they can tell me that is if i can get to speak to someone rather than a machine. does anyone else get annoyed with automated services.?

Hi there

 

I understand it is a bit like here in Ireland.  (Not easy or cheap!!!)  Spain has the dreaded VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax), I think this is at 7% of whatever they value the car at.  (Just to get new number plates)

In theory, you are meant to inform the authorities if you are moving there and should register the car.  My understanding is though that you can actually stretch it to a year on UK/IRL plates and on home insurance etc, once the car is taxed at home, then you MUST register it in Spain.  this is what I am doing anyway!!!!  (If you intend to do this, you must get a greencard from your insurance at home when you drive in Spain  (most give 1 month a year no bother, some give more)

 

Hope this helps

Hi Sandra, I don't know if you've looked already in the main message board section, but I found good advice there on may things about cars and Spain.  Maybe worth a try if you haven't already.
