Buying a car imported from Germany and registering it in Spain involves navigating specific cross-border bureaucracy. To ensure a smooth transfer of ownership and successfully register your vehicle with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and local authorities, you need a precise legal tool. This article provides a comprehensive guide alongside a ready-to-use, bilingual (Spanish/English) purchase contract designed specifically for importing vehicles from Germany into towns like Cazalla De La Sierra.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cazalla De La Sierra

While the private purchase contract itself is signed between the buyer and the seller in Germany (or remotely), it becomes a crucial legal instrument when you bring the vehicle to Cazalla De La Sierra, Seville. Here is how you must handle the paperwork locally:

• Ayuntamiento de Cazalla De La Sierra (Local Tax Office): You must present the bill of sale (accompanied by a sworn translation into Spanish if requested) to pay the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - Road Tax) before you can register the car nationally.
• DGT (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Sevilla): For final Spanish registration, you will need to submit the contract along with the German registration documents (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and Teil II) to obtain your Spanish license plates.
• Hacienda (Agencia Tributaria): The contract is mandatory for calculating and paying the Impuesto de Matriculación (Registration Tax, Mod. 565/576) and proving the acquisition value for the Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (if applicable, though intra-community VAT rules usually apply to professional imports).
