Our solicitor who is handling our legal affairs for our potential house purchase told us we could register using our rental agreement and that wherever we ended up buying and re-registering it would transparently transfer our detials to our chosen place of residence. This enabled us to then go for the car. Now I've already detailed the car buying process we'd gone through and how wonderful Hyundai in Cuevas De Almanzora have been. Victoria & Pepe Alarcón who own and run the dealership have been so helpful and kind to us and helped iron out some potentially big problems for us with our hire car and some silly bank issues. Our hire car was only on hire till the first of May and we had to extend the hire until Friday the 4th to allow for the registration of the car and the arrival of the number plates from Almeria.
Well tonight we went to the dealership to pay the last part of the payment for the car. We'd paid a 2000 Euro deposit and as you may have read we then fund our debit cards had a 1000 Euro limit on them for security purposes. This was totally impractical for us as we have so many things to purchase, such as the car, furniture etc! so the bank raised our individual limits to 6000 Euros so we can make these purchases and after we will lower them back again. Tonight we found out banks here operate on 24 hour periods not on day/date changes! Anyway after waiting an extra 15 minutes we'd passed the previous day's payment times and made the final payments on our beautiful, shiny, still wrapped in plastic on all the right pies Hyundai i40 Techno!

Just so you know we have had a VW Polo to drive round in for the last month and it is like a shoe box compared with the i40! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe new car feels wonderful. We can hardly wait to drive it. We also got haircuts today. We were told about hair stylists when we went to Bar Med last week. So we stopped in there this morning and got appointment for this afternoon. Both of the stylists are gay. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteThe Hyundai car dealership could not be more friendly or helpful. Victoria speaks English and has helped us sort through the denial of our debit cards since we tried to use them 23 hours and 50 minutes after the last time. They take 24 hours seriously. In any case, we are delighted that we shall have our own car next week. I was able to negotiate a great car insurance deal on-line. So we shall have the optimal care insurance at less than half the price a bank was asking for the same coverage.
We are so happy that everything seems to be working out so well.
Car looks beautiful. Our Hyundai is the same color - but certainly not as sleek or shiny, especially since enduring years of teen driving! It's also a lower end model - a manual Accent - but it has been extremely reliable.
