Dear all – Another story from the offices of the Spanish Traffic Authorities ;-/ When importing a car from Germany into Spain, this was the scenario: Leasing company A buys the car new A leases the car out to the consulting company B The vehicle letter is issued in the name of B When the lease is completed, B returns the car to A A sells the car to a private person C C sells the car to me So, along to the traffic authorities in Munich… I do “all the right things” as usual, and get my execute characterise valid for 4 months, pay my german fees and taxes, and the car is de-listed from the german vehicle register. Off we go to Spain. In Spain, when asking for the registration of the car on Spanish plates, the Spanish Traffic Authorites gets their big hang-up: The name in the vehicle letter is B, and not C – and takes the car into their deposit. I can provide the initial purchase receipt when A bought the car, and the sales contract when A sold the car to C, but as long as B is listed in the Fahrzeugbrief, the Spanish Traffic Authorites could’nt care less … I have been in contact with the leasing company A and the consultant company B, but due to “company regulations and restriction” they would not release any certified copy of the leasing contract that exists between A and B (a frame agreement covering a lot more than just “my car”. So what could be done … ? Any suggestions ? I come to think of the possibility to re-enter the car into the German vehicle register (re-impor t) as the only way to have a new vehicle letter issued? And then with this new vehicle letter (with the correct name of Mr C this time) try again to take the car to Spain… But my problem is, then I cannot present the car for the German Authorities (just can get current pictures and a confirmation I guess from the Spanish Traffic Authorites that the car is “safley stored” in their deposit. Any help or advice that leads to the “recovery” of this car, would be rewarded!
