already own a property in Spain (Calpe, Costa Blanca) and therefore already have my NIE/NIF number. I intend to retire to Calpe at the end of next year. I currently live in Guernsey, Channel Islands and own a 16 month old a left hand drive VW Golf (European spec imported direct from Germany), which I would like to take with me. What is the position with importing this vehicle as a) it will already confirm to the Spanish spec, but b) Guernsey, although part of the British Isle is not part of the UK and is outside the EU?

What taxes am I going to be hit with?

Hello,

Have found your website very useful and am just
wondering whether you can help - I´m 25 and now living
in Spain, applying for residency at the moment.

I have a RHD car in the UK which I am considering
importing, could you possibly recommend a Gestor who
could tell me what´s involved, give me some idea of
cost and possibly help me with the process?

Alternatively, in your opinion, would it be better to
sell my car (2004 plate Seat Ibiza) and buy a Spanish
vehicle?

Many thanks for your time,

Gavin.
Hi Gavin

I have answered you question on the forum but basically there are hundreds of gestors in Spain so it depends where you are based, you will also find other people advertiesing in the local press to help, or you could try it yourself by following the process here which is not wuite as bad as it sounds, honest, or if you think the car is not worth it because it is a RHD then maybe you would be better selling and buying one here in Spain, only you can decide that but here is the process to help you make your mind up. The latest updates are at the foot of the page!

Good luck

Kind Regards
