Hi. What’s the process to transfer the ownership of a vehicle (and the cost of this) in Spain and can it be done online/ remotely from UK?
We recently passed my wife’s ageing VW Polo (2000 reg) to our neighbour who we have always let use it as a run around between our visits.  I’d like to transfer the ownership into his name (as you would in the UK). He’s reluctant since the cost of the the transfer is allegedly more than the car is worth. All advice gratefully received. Paulo x

As ever Google is your friend https://www.healthplanspain.com/blog/expat-tips/464-how-to-change-ownership-of-a-car-in-spain.html

Attached says cost to seller €8,50 transfer fee. Cost to buyer €54.60 + 4% tax on vehicle value. (July 2019 so values may need updating)

Maybe your neighbour doesn't want the responsibility of owning/insuring/maintaining a vehicle?

Regards

Andrew

Hi Andrew Thank you very much indeed. I had found something on a law firms website but no fees were quoted. We’ve  gifted the car to our neighbour (it’s worth almost nothing) but the principle’s the same. Thank you and regards: Paulo x
