THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING A USED CAR IN SPAIN

New cars in Spain are more costly than in some other EU countries (though still less competitive than in the UK) and up to twice as expensive as in the United States. As a consequence, the cost of a used car rises. However, while vehicles are more costly to acquire, they drop in value more slowly in the United Kingdom than in most other European countries, so the extra money you spend on a vehicle is normally recouped when you sell it. 

It is suggested to go to a spanish review website like OpinionesEspana and read the reviews on numerous agencies & dealers selling used cars. This will help you in choosing the best service. It’s also a good idea to read more about car in general and Spanish car brands. These have many choices, and they are becoming more accessible every year. 

1. Visit Car Dealer

You can go the conventional approach and buy from a used car dealer or a private seller. If you know how to negotiate and inspect a car correctly, this might be an effective method of purchase.

2. Go to authorized brand showroom

Another possibility is to visit a brand showroom that is approved by the manufacturer. Audi dealerships, for example, offer both fresh and used vehicles. These dealers can’t afford to get their name tarnished by messing with the cars’ license plates, so they often go through a regular renovating process.

They still don’t sell cars that have been in crashes and they are returned to the dealer. The explanation for this is that these vehicles are more likely to experience major problems down the road, potentially harming the dealer’s and main brand’s reputations.

3. Buy Online

Buying online is the most superior approach. I know it sounds strange, but some small entrepreneurs are attempting to transform the way we buy old cars. They are capable of passing on the cost savings to the consumer because they operate only digitally and do not have a storefront or sales staff. As a result, they can deliver the best deals without the need for squabbling. 

Details required for buying a second-hand car:

Dealers selling used automobiles must have the following information as a bare minimum 

1. Authenticity and cost (must be valid for at least 10 days). 
2. Information about the owner. 
3. Brand, type, cubic centimeters, frame level, and license plate number. 
4. Information about the vehicle’s age, mileage, and last service.
5. Date and outcome of ITV (official vehicle inspection). If the car has been in a crash or has been extensively altered it will also undergo additional ITV checks. 
6. When did the seller buy the vehicle? 
7. A one-year warranty is a bare minimum. 
8. Any loans or expenses that have not been paid.

Purchasing from a vendor can result in a deal if you trade in your old car, but this is usually a better offer, and if you have space, you’re more off purchasing the car yourself. Also, bear in mind that many online deals presume you’ll finance the vehicle.
