Hello,

can anybody recommend a reputable garage/dealer to get my Mitsubishi registered in Spain please?

Weve been here long enough now to need this doing.

Thank you in advance

Ray

Thank you very much Pebbles for this link. I'll wait for your update of how smoothly it went if that's ok?

I'm assuming this is the less expensive way of having a vehicle in Spain? Cars seem quite expensive generally. I'm quite happy with my RHD car.

Cheers

Morning Ray

We have looked at second hand cars in Spain and for us we found them all very highly priced with very high mileage, also we prefer a Rhd car to a Lhd car our personal preference not everyone’s,  so we decided to look in the UK. We have a transporter lorry bringing it down for us from Kent for £700 cash on delivery and they are delivering it to San Javier to Car registrations Spain’s  place of work. Should be here Thursday and then it’s all been changed over, I’ll let you know how it all goes🤞🏼

The biggest problem / cost with changing a UK reg vehicle onto Spanish plates can be the headlights.

Some can be adjusted but some have to be replaced.

Cost can be many hundreds of £'s

Thanks Roland and yes i was aware of the need to swap lights.

Dose anyone know of a Mitsubishi breakers yard? If i can keep the cost of these lights down that would help enormously.

Ray, 

Thought I had to Change my 2010 KIA Sodena headlights? When I double checked, seems all I need do is turn a screw, it worked.

Found the info on Google and confirmed by physically adjusting them myself against a wall.  Happy as Larry, whoever he is?

Thanks Zacdog. i have been told by Mitsubishi that the headlights are not adjustable but i will still check this out just in case they were trying to get some additional money from me.

Cheers
