We draft your private vehicle sale contract between private individuals (arts. 1445-1500 CC, the Spanish Civil Code). We validate the vehicle's details (registration plate, VIN, valid ITV (roadworthiness test), DGT (Traffic Authority) encumbrances), check the price against the official market value published by the Ministerio de Hacienda (Ministry of Finance), calculate the applicable ITP (transfer tax: 4 % as a general rule, varying by CCAA (autonomous region) between 4-8 %) and the DGT fee for the change of ownership (55,70 €). We coordinate this with the modelo 620 ITP (30 days) and the DGT change of ownership (use cambio_titularidad_vehiculo). We include warranty clauses for hidden defects (art. 1484 CC) and, if you wish, an additional private guarantee.

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

Legal framework: arts. 1445-1500 CC (sale) plus arts. 1474-1500 CC (warranty against defects) plus RGV art. 32 (change of ownership within 30 days) plus ITP-AJD (RDLeg 1/1993) plus the official valuation tables.
ITP 4 % as a general rule (varying by CCAA: 4 % in many, 6-8 % in others). Taxable base: the HIGHER of the declared price and the official value set by Hacienda. Hacienda may check values and raise the base if you declare an abnormally low price.
Deadline for the DGT change of ownership: 30 days from signature (art. 32 RGV). If it is not done, the seller remains liable for any fines. DGT fee: 55,70 € (modelo 7).
Warranty against hidden defects (art. 1484 CC): the seller is liable for non-apparent defects for 6 months from delivery (art. 1490 CC). A 'sold as seen' clause does NOT release the seller from liability for non-apparent defects in a sale between private individuals.
If the seller is a PROFESSIONAL and the buyer a CONSUMER: the TRLGDCU applies, with a 3-year legal guarantee (Ley 7/1996, as amended). In those cases the contract and the guarantee are different.
DGT encumbrances: seizures, retention-of-title clauses and unpaid fines PREVENT the change of ownership. Always check before signing (a DGT report on the vehicle).
Expired ITV: the vehicle cannot legally be driven. Agree who will put it through the test, or adjust the price.
IVTM (road tax): payable by whoever owns the vehicle on 1 January. After a sale it is usually apportioned between the parties.
Natural connections: cambio_titularidad_vehiculo (DGT), recurso_multa_dgt (if you want to challenge a fine), notificacion_venta_dgt (advance notice of the sale).
Important: vehicles over 25 years old (classics) may benefit from a special regime with ITP reductions in some CCAA.
