Hi All,

I recently moved to Madrid and was thinking of buying a car, however I will be going back to Ireland at some stage next year when my work here is finished so I would like to buy a RHD car so I can bring it back with me. Does anyone know if this is possible here, can garages order RHD cars?

Thanks,
Peter.

I think it’s not that easy to get one in Spain but there are definitely a few retailer who sell RHD cars. Maybe there’s a list on the internet. I have a friend from the UK, he drove a RHD car but I think he took the car with him when he had left to Spain.

At the moment the car market is much more competitive in the UK than Spain.  You could save thousands by buying in the UK and get a vastly better choice.  As for second-hand, they’ve been better value in the UK for years.  If I was you I’d fly to the UK or get one via an on-line dealer and drive it down to Madrid yourself.
