How to Buy a Car from Germany: Bilingual Sale Contract Template for Villargordo

Importing a vehicle from Germany to Spain can be a complex bureaucratic process, but having a solid, bilingual purchase agreement is the most important first step to ensure your ownership is recognized by the Spanish authorities. This template is designed for residents of Villargordo and surrounding areas who need a legally binding document that bridges the language gap between German sellers and the Spanish Traffic Department (DGT).

Instructions for Processing Your Import in Villargordo

Once you have signed the bilingual contract, you must prepare the vehicle for registration in Spain. In Villargordo, the process involves several steps:

• Technical Inspection (ITV): You must take the vehicle to an authorized ITV station to obtain a Spanish technical card (Ficha Técnica).
• Tax Payment (Impuesto de Matriculación): This is paid via the Agencia Tributaria (Model 576).
• Local Tax (IVTM): You must pay the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" at the Villargordo Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).
• DGT Registration: Finally, present all documentation at the DGT provincial office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) to receive your Spanish license plates.

Additional Documentation Required

To successfully complete your registration, you must provide the following alongside your signed contract:

• Original German registration documents (Teil I and Teil II).
• Proof of identity (DNI, NIE, or Passport).
• The original invoice or the signed bilingual contract provided above.
• A certificate of conformity (COC) if available, to speed up the ITV process.

Expert Tip: Always ensure the German "Fahrzeugbrief" (registration document) is handed over in its entirety. If the seller is a company, ensure the contract is stamped with the company seal. If you are handling this process in Villargordo, verify that your local Town Hall has received the payment for the IVTM tax before visiting the DGT, as this is often checked digitally in real-time. If in doubt, hire a local "gestoría" to handle the DGT paperwork to avoid common administrative errors.
