New or Used
New or Used
When we finally sell our pile in the UK and move to Alcaudete I was hoping to buy a Land-rover Defender or a Santana.
People have said never, never buy a second hand vehicle.
So If I'm buying new where is the best place to go and not get fleeced?
Ive noticed they never put the price on cars in the showrooms so will need to take a Spanish friend with me or I will be paying the English price?

I can't understand why you've been advised not to buy a second hand vehicle as provided you know what you're doing, then there shouldn't be any issues. There are pros and cons for both methods but the only comment I'd make would be to go for the Defender if you can afford it as not only are they better built (one of the few reliable Land Rover products) than the Santana but also have stronger engines.
Your only other choice is RHD/LHD which will come down to preference, although I'm not sure if they are classed as commercial vehicles or not, which may have some bearing on the issue - others will know.

Defender from uk
I thought that if you brought a defender out from the UK it was virtually imposable to get it registered in Spain?
Anyone managed to get a UK car re registered in Spain?

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated into the collective
