Importing vehicles from Germany continues to be a growing trend in Spain. But is it really worth the effort and investment? We analyze the pros and cons.
Greater selection and equipment
The German market is huge. You'll find a variety of models, engines, and equipment levels (extras) that are very difficult to find in the domestic market.
Cost savings
Especially in premium vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche), the savings can range from €2,000 to €6,000, even after adding all import and registration costs.
Better state of preservation
German roads are in excellent condition and the culture of car maintenance is very strict. Furthermore, vehicle inspections (TÜV) are very rigorous.
The cons to consider
The process requires time, bureaucratic procedures, and dealing with the language barrier. Furthermore, there is a risk of scams if done without experience.
Conclusion
Yes, it's worth it, as long as it involves mid-to-high-range vehicles and you have the right advice or delegate the process to professionals to avoid risks.
