Buying or selling a second-hand vehicle between private individuals in Spain requires strict legal documentation to ensure a smooth transition of ownership. A Contrato de Compraventa de Vehículo entre Particulares (Private Used Car Sales Contract) is the foundational legal document that establishes the purchase terms, protects both the buyer and the seller from future liabilities, and serves as proof of the transaction for tax and administrative purposes.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Brihuega

Once the contract is signed by both parties, the administrative process must be completed to legally transfer the vehicle. While the contract itself is a private agreement kept by buyer and seller, it must be presented alongside other documents to local and national authorities:

• Pay the Transfer Tax (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales - Modelo 620/621): This must be paid to the regional tax agency (Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha) within 30 business days following the sale.
• DGT Appointment (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico): To update the vehicle registration (Permiso de Circulación), you must book an appointment with the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT). For residents of Brihuega, the closest office is typically the Provincial Traffic Headquarters in Guadalajara. You can also handle this digitally via the DGT electronic headquarters if you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve.
• Local Ayuntamiento: Remember that the seller must pay the local road tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - IVTM) for the current year, but ensure the municipal registry in Brihuega is updated for future charges.
