Well for the last week I have been round the Car Garages In Tarragona, Barca, And Zaragoza..

I have Money to spend But The Spanish 2nd Hand Car Market Is A Complete JOKE!

There is No legal control in this market and the dealers are asking for nearly new car prices.

Example Audi A4 4 years old 50000KM ?18000 Warranty NO!

So I have been looking at auto trader online in UK and for a 2 year old Audi A4 I can pick one up for 7k!

I just wondering is anyone else having issues buying a 2nd hand car?

Some cars I have seen I just Laughed One car had no Bumpers… And it was selling for 8k

I was looking at a brand new car… Audi and Others but there is so many catches and claws in the finance contract its not worth it…

Congrats on The 1500 Posts!

Well I am trying everywhere… I just I do not want to be stuck with Inport Duties!

I will keep Trying I am sure something will come along!

Does anyone know How to check to see if a car is on Finance Here in Spain as I cannot Find A HPI Company that checks these things.. As I do not want to part with cash later to find out “La Grua” has taken the car because its on HP!
