How do I transfer car ownership in Tenerife?

[webewitch]

Hi

I'd like to buy my mother's car from her - in Tenerife.

What are the procedures? Which documents do I need? Where do I get them?

Send a pm to member Goldenmaniac. She will put you right. :goodluck:

Where do I get the Compraventa and what do I do with it?

Is all this simple - my spanish is okish - or are you suggesting a gopher who can do it all for us for a fee?

I'll only be in Tenerife for a week or so - so maybe a gopher would be better for me.

I was informed yesterday that as of last week the 4% tax now has a minimum threshold of 150€. Great, they just keep squeezing don't they!

Hi Diane
As of 1st July Trafico MUST have proof of residency ie Empadronamiento, escritura , long term rental contract. They state that as Nationals have told them they do not require proof of residency when obtaining Green cert , they (Trafico) do !
Of course these are the rules but not all staff adhere to them! as we all well know. As most people know I go every weekso am well known by most of the staff so can often get things done that other individuals are unable to do, the old saying not what you know but who you know comes to mind. just a heads up for those going it alone.

I think everyone should adopt the ***** way sorry the traveller way.
Everyone change their name via deed pole to Smith and lets see how the the authorities deal with that one, If everyone is the legal owner of cars, houses, motor bikes etc then this stupid tax system will soon fold. No need to changed ownership details just exchange the paperwork. Where do you live? Everywhere sir!

Only an idea but I'd love to see the panic in the squeezing b*****s faces

As do I Emma, Empadronamiento only seems to be an issue when the address on the residencia is different from the one on the transfer form or the address of the purchaser does not already appear in their database ie for a Spanish driving licence, but as you rightly say, it really depends on who you get on the day!
This is the relevent bit

Identificación de los interesados:
 Personas físicas; el comprador presentará
documento oficial, original, que acredite su identidad
y domicilio (DNI, permiso de conducción español,
tarjeta de residencia, pasaporte más Número de
Identificación de Extranjeros).
Best wishes Diana

Not heard that but have been informed that for cars over 10 years old there are changes , and fixed fees of 40 €, 70€ and 115€ ( those are off the top of my head so can't remember which cylinders they apply to but only up to 2000 cc ) thereafter normal 4 percent rules Apply .

[Goldenmaniac]

from 1st july 2012
Cars 10 years or older
equal or under 1000cc 40 euro minimum
over 1000cc but less than or equal to 1500cc 70 euro minimum
over 1500cc but less than or equal to 2000cc 115 euros minimum



si se trata de vehículos de turismo a motor con más de 10 años de antigüedad, que no tengan la consideración de históricos, ésta cuota vendrá determinada por:
- cilindrada igual o inferior a 1000 c.c., cuota del 40 euros.
- cilindrada superior a 1000 c.c. e igual o inferior a 1500 c.c., cuota de 70 euros.
- cilindrada superior a 1500 c.c. e igual o inferior a 2000 c.c., cuota de 115 euros.
