Spanish cars "without paperwork"

Postby olive » Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:52 pm

I know of a suitable car for sale but the paperwork is still in the name of the previous owner and not being changed. I am led to believe that it has an ITV and that the circulation tax is up to date but you never know!

If I decide to proceed I would most certainly use a gestor.

What sort of problems if any are likely to arise? How long would it take to sort out?

is the named owner still here ?

if so, its simple. you pay the current owner for the car, then go with the named owner and transfer it into your name.

As the car isn't in the name of the guy selling it can you be sure he has the right to sell the car? :?:
I would be very cautious about this one.
I've got an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one!

I had already decided to give it a miss. It has been "snapped up" by a Spanish guy from the next village.
