Beware when selling your car in Spain.

Selling your car.

A word of warning if you sell your car.

We sold our Spanish registered car to a Spanish used car dealer in Calpe. He seemed a nice guy and said he would handle the paperwork. He paid us in cash and off we went.
A few months later a large amount had been taken from our bnk account by the SUMA office. When we enquired about these charges we were informed that the car is collecting paking fine all over the place and because the car is still registered in our names the fines are being billed to us. The dealer isn't interested in our complaint and until we track the present owner down we continue to pay the fines.

If the car is still registered to us maybe we should find it, steal it back and hold it to ransom until they pay the fines.

Has anyone had the same problem?

In future I will ensure that we visit the Gestor and get it done properly.
