Other aspects also matter, like exact delivery to a specific address or the need for intermediate pick-up\/delivery points.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_taxes_youll_pay_when_registering_your_car_in_Spain\"><\/span>The taxes you\u2019ll pay when registering your car in Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On arrival in Spain you must consider several taxes: intra-EU VAT (in certain cases), the Special Tax on Certain Means of Transport (IEDMT) whose amount depends on the vehicle\u2019s emissions level, and the administrative fees charged by the DGT for issuing the final plates.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real-world_budget_examples_how_much_will_you_spend\"><\/span>Real-world budget examples: how much will you spend?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Compact car:<\/strong> the extra cost for purchase, transport, taxes and registration is roughly \u20ac1,500 \u2013 \u20ac2,500 above the car\u2019s price.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Premium SUV:<\/strong> this type of vehicle usually requires a higher additional outlay, estimated at \u20ac2,500 \u2013 \u20ac4,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_by_step_from_finding_your_ideal_car_to_having_it_at_home\"><\/span>Step by step: from finding your ideal car to having it at home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Search_and_verification\"><\/span>1. Search and verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first stage is to look for the ideal vehicle.

Purchase in Germany<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have chosen the vehicle, negotiate with the seller and formalise the purchase through a (<em>Kaufvertrag<\/em>) contract that clearly sets out every detail of the transaction.

Logistics and transport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After purchase, the logistics phase begins: moving the vehicle from Germany to your residence in Spain. This requires correctly handling the German documents Teil I and Teil II, equivalent to the registration certificate and circulation permit, indispensable for proving ownership and for the later procedures in Spain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Option A: Drive it yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Driving the vehicle yourself appeals to those who want the experience or to reduce initial costs. You must request export plates (<em>Kurzzeitkennzeichen<\/em> or <em>Zollkennzeichen<\/em>) and plan the trip (route, tolls, fuel, accommodation). In case of a breakdown or accident, all responsibility lies with the buyer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Option B: Hire truck transport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most comfortable and safest alternative is to hire a specialised company that uses an open truck. This door-to-door service avoids mechanical or weather-related problems and lets you focus on other formalities in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Although driving yourself may seem cheaper at first, professional transport usually pays off thanks to its peace of mind, safety and time savings. In our case we also streamline the whole process, handling all paperwork and Spanish registration for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartransporteurope.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Request a free quote with no obligation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Paperwork_and_registration_in_Spain\"><\/span>4.
