Apart from that you maybe should've posted this in relevant board, Victor, where it would've been noticed more.

Prices of new cars in Spain tend to be pretty non-negotiable. You may get a little bit off by shopping around dealer to dealer, or with a bit of effort you may get some useless freebies. Best bet is to try to find an ex-demo, since the saving on new price can be significant, but it may not be so easy to get the exact model you want. _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post?

As Roberto says you cannot be too specific about model, colour etc but it is effectively a new car. I saved about 6 grand off mine a couple of years back with 7,000kms on the clock and just under 6 months old. They have to give you an open ended rental contract so that officially you are renting the car - obviously has to be paid for in full when you take the car and you have the purchase invoice - have to say I was little suspect but many Spanish do it and was suggested to me by a Spanish friend so seemed on the level - got a call from them when the jamjar was 2 years old to deal with the change of registration - so all went tickety boo. _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.

03 Sep 2007 4:01 PM ayrez Apartamento I'm in Fuente Alamo Murcia I've made 57 posts Send private message to ayrez	Try one of the main dealers in Torrevieja. Avenida de Cortes Valencianas (hope I've spelled that correctly) has main dealers for just about all the popular makes and most have an English speaker working there. It will give you an idea of new prices so you can decide whether an ex hire car is cost effective. We bought an new Ford Fiesta last year after checking out just about every garage in the area plus car hire firms. Very happy with deal we bought Fiesta Ghia for about same price as basic Fiesta in UK. My husband is one of natures hagglers I'm afraid. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

When we bought my Twingo second hand that only took a few days. We also had had good aftersales service from both the Ford and Renault main dealers. According to my other half unless car is 4 years old or more it is not really worth buying second hand as price differential is not that great. It is also a good idea to check guarantee period/warranty with second hand cars as they can differ. One of the hire firms only gives 3 months. Spam post? If so please click here to report it
06 Sep 2007 10:17 AM Smiley EOS Superstar I'm in San Pedro de Alcantara I've made 2137 posts Send private message to Smiley	If you buy one of the nearly new cars from the reputable hire firms you get the balance of the manufacturers warranty. If you go for the nearly new from the rental companies savings should be quite significant over brand new. _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.
