Find your car in Germany for delivery to Spain
Autohaus Zephyr helps you filter listings, request information from sellers and organise agreed next steps for a possible purchase in Germany with Spain as the destination. Start with your criteria or send a listing link. The initial consultation and search proposal are free; a physical inspection and later services are quoted separately. You buy and pay for the vehicle directly to the identified seller.
- Free initial consultation and search proposal
- Physical inspection and later services quoted separately

01 / Before buying
Scope: a search shaped around your criteria
Germany is the main sourcing route for this service. In the initial consultation, we establish the vehicle you want, your essential requirements and the total budget you wish to consider. We can assess listings you share or prepare an initial search proposal. That proposal does not confirm that a vehicle is still available, that a seller is reliable or that a car meets your expectations; relevant facts must be checked before purchase.
To get started, send the model or vehicle type, priority version and equipment, budget, destination province and approximate address, intended use and preferred purchase date. Include the listing link and, if available, the VIN, seller’s name and contact details, advertised price and vehicle documents. More specific information makes the initial assessment more useful.
- Say which requirements are essential and where alternatives are acceptable.
- Tell us whether you want one vehicle, a comparative search or help with a specific listing.
- Share any limit you have for transport, paperwork and services.

From proposal to an informed purchase decision
After the initial consultation, we share a search proposal or review the listing you sent. If you are interested in a candidate, we request missing information and define the scope, price and terms of any additional work in writing. A physical inspection is not automatically included in the free search: its scope and price are agreed separately, based on the vehicle’s location and the checks that can be arranged.
The seller and payment beneficiary must be identified before any reservation or payment. Check that the beneficiary is the seller or that there is documented, verifiable authorisation to receive the money. You negotiate, buy and pay for the vehicle directly to the identified seller; we do not collect the vehicle price on the buyer’s behalf. Autohaus Zephyr fees and any third-party costs are itemised separately. An enquiry or proposal does not reserve a car or commission services.
- Initial search and proposal are free; finding a suitable car is not guaranteed.
- Document checks and physical checks take place only within an agreed scope.
- You buy directly from the seller; we coordinate only budgeted tasks.

Build a full budget and separate facts from estimates
Compare the cost of having the car in Spain, not just the listing price. The calculation may depend on the seller’s identity and status, the tax treatment stated on the invoice or contract, the vehicle’s specification and emissions, available documents, transport, and the technical and tax requirements applicable to that specific vehicle. We do not treat unverified items as confirmed or promise that importing will cost less than buying in Spain.
Ask for an itemised estimate separating the vehicle price, transport, paperwork, taxes or fees that need checking, and service fees. Identify which amounts are confirmed and which remain estimates subject to documents, inspection or third-party confirmation. Before reserving, resolve questions that could materially change the budget or prevent registration. The initial consultation is free; physical inspection, transport, document handling and other services are each quoted according to scope.
- Do not assume tax rates or technical costs; verify the individual case.
- Ask the seller to state the transaction’s tax treatment in writing.
- Confirm who will contract and pay for each third-party service.

Documents and requirements to verify
Before committing, request and review, as applicable to the vehicle: a sales contract or invoice identifying the parties, price and tax treatment; original registration certificates and their parts, if issued in that country; VIN and technical specifications; a Certificate of Conformity (COC) or alternative technical information; evidence of ownership or the seller’s authority to sell; and available service, mileage and inspection history. Also ask about deregistration, export, plates and documents needed for transport, and any lien or restriction on sale that the seller must clarify.
For Spanish registration, the parties must confirm with the DGT, ITV and competent tax authorities which documents are required for that specific vehicle, what approval or technical record is acceptable, and which inspections, taxes, proof of payment or exemption and registration steps apply. The linked DGT page covers vehicles from the EU but does not replace checking an individual file or determine its tax treatment. We do not invent requirements, amounts or rates.

Germany as the main route and planning for your destination
Germany is the main sourcing route covered here. Switzerland is outside the EU and must not be treated as the same route: for a Swiss vehicle, separately verify the applicable customs, tax, document and technical conditions. Sourcing in Belgium or the Netherlands depends on a suitable vehicle, sufficient documentation and local availability for any requested checks or tasks; stock, partners and service availability are not assumed.
Autohaus Zephyr is based in Zurich and has no local offices in Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia. These are remotely served destinations, not local offices or claims of exclusive regional expertise. Before arranging delivery, specify the address and ask what access the transporter needs. In Madrid, confirm that the location can receive the vehicle and during what time window; in Barcelona, check the current access, stopping and unloading conditions for that address; in Valencia, clarify who will receive the car and what delivery window is feasible. Confirm local conditions with the transporter and relevant authorities.
- Availability, document acceptance, approval, coverage and delivery dates are not guaranteed.
- An agreed inspection may not reveal every defect or risk.
- Autohaus Zephyr is not a universal vehicle seller, customs authority, guarantor or insurer.

What does it cost to get started?
The initial consultation and search proposal are free. A physical inspection and each later service are quoted separately, with the scope and cost shared before you accept.
Who do I pay for the car?
You pay the identified seller directly. Before reserving or paying, confirm who the seller is and who will receive the money; any different beneficiary must have documented, verifiable authorisation. Service fees are shown separately.
How long do purchase and registration take?
There is no universal timeframe. It depends on vehicle availability, the seller, documents, transport, and checks and procedures in Spain. A case-specific schedule can be discussed, but cannot be guaranteed.
Can I send a Mobile.de or AutoScout24 listing?
Yes. Send the link and, if available, the VIN, seller details and vehicle documents. We will assess the initial fit and tell you what information is missing; this does not confirm availability or replace an inspection.
