Buying a car in Spain is getting very expensive.  My neighbour recently bought one from Germany.  He had a German guy drive it over.  He figured he still saved money and got a very nice car.  

Just a thought.

What about if you bring a car from the U.K.

That creates its own nightmare, you have to import, change things like the lights and change plates, people like Unsticks will help, don't forget you can only use a UK licence for 6 months unless a deal is done, or you need a Spanish driving test.

You can buy a car in Spain as long as you have got a NIE and proof of address, driving license doesn't matter. Insurance isn't a problem as long as the car is in your name or you at least have the autorizacion provisional de circulacion or justificante to prove the process is underway.
