How to Download the Private Car Purchase Agreement Template in Espiel (Word/PDF)

Buying or selling a used car in Spain can be a stressful bureaucratic hurdle if you don't have the right paperwork in order. A Contrato de Compraventa de Vehículo entre Particulares is a legally binding private sales contract between two private individuals. This essential document clearly establishes the terms of the sale, protects both the buyer and the seller from future liabilities, serves as proof of purchase, and is strictly required to transfer vehicle ownership at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico).

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Espiel

Once both parties have signed the purchase agreement, the process does not end there. To legally complete the transfer of ownership (cambio de titularidad) for residents and transactions tied to Espiel, you must follow these administrative steps:

• Pay the Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP): Before going to the DGT, you must pay the property transfer tax (Modelo 620 or 600) to the regional tax agency of Andalusia (Junta de Andalucía). Since Espiel is in the province of Córdoba, this can usually be processed online using a digital certificate or at authorized collaborating banks.
• Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Córdoba: While Espiel is a charming municipality in the Valle del Guadiato, local town halls (Ayuntamiento de Espiel) do not process vehicle transfers. You must submit the final paperwork at the Provincial Traffic Headquarters in Córdoba, or more conveniently, online through the official DGT electronic headquarters using your Cl@ve or digital certificate.
• Gestoría Alternative: Many residents in Espiel prefer to hire a local administrative agency (gestoría) to handle the DGT paperwork and tax payments simultaneously to avoid traveling to Córdoba capital.

Additional documentation required

To successfully finalize the sale and ensure the vehicle is legally registered under the new owner's name, you will need to gather and present the following additional documents alongside the bilingual contract:

• Original Identity Documents (DNI / NIE / Passport): Copies for both the buyer and the seller. If acting through a representative, specific authorization documents are required.
• Vehicle Documentation: The official Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación) and the Technical Inspection Card (Tarjeta de ITV), ensuring the vehicle has a valid ITV.
• Tax payment receipt for the Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM) corresponding to the previous fiscal year in Espiel.
• Proof of payment or exemption of the Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (Modelo 600/620).

Expert Tip: Always include the exact time and date of the sale on the contract. This is a critical legal shield for the seller in Espiel, as it proves exactly when possession and responsibility of the vehicle transferred, protecting you from any speeding tickets, parking fines, or tolls incurred by the buyer immediately after the hand-off.
