advice needed

we are in the process of buying an apartment in condado de alahama and are wondering if we should bring our car over or sell it here and buy another over their. we will be using the car for about 8 weeks a yr and their is 6 of us so hire prices are quite high do we need to reregister the car or can we drive it back home and tax and mot it in the uk. any help advice or info is greatly appreciated.

I think it kind of depends if you have a good little runner and no great use for it in the UK and would not get much for it if you sold it

and then your budget to buy if you do sell in UK

and loading it up with "stuff" and driving over could be a good idea

it's not feasible going back to UK for MOT and too risky these days to keep it on UK plates (how times have changed!)

Putting it on Spanish plates will cost you approx Eur500 on a DIY basis

Downside is there is no great resale market here for RHD cars

Sometimes you see people on here looking for a swap?

faro

it is a landrover discovery that we have had since new and so we know the history of it we are reluctant to sell as it isnt worth much because of its age but we have looked after it and it has many good years ahead of it (fingers crossed) our plan is to load it with goods from here that are more expensive to buy over their do you know what the itv and rd tax would cost on a 2.5 diesel

In that case bring it with you and put it on Spanish plates.

I think the normal ITV is about EUR60 and the tax about EUR150 but the first ITV is about EUR120

Remind me to give you a DIY re-registration guide. Don't use the cowboys and just do it yourself.

the diy guide would be great and any recomendations as to ins brokers to use out their
