Spanish car subsidy

re EOS Blog :

Under the so-called Plan 2000E introduced in June, car buyers in Spain get a 500-euro subsidy from the central government, another 500 euros from their regional government and 1,000 euros from the auto maker when buying a new car.

Does this apply to non residents buying a car or just Spanish residents?...does anyone know

I will not be a resident but I am thinking of buying a small car in Spain and a 2000 € subsidy would make a big difference

So any help would be appreciated

{ I have also made a similar post of Driving in Spain...not Spam...just a search for info

I´m pretty certain you can only take advantage of this scheme if you have a car which is 10 years old or more to trade in.

We looked into this scheme ourselves and did not qualify as our car is not 10 years old.

Brian,
