The used car market in Murcia
Murcia is a city with a high vehicle population and a deeply rooted car culture. The geographical dispersion of the municipality, one of the largest in Spain by surface area, makes the private vehicle practically essential for a large part of the population, which feeds a constant demand for second-hand cars.
The profile of the Murcian buyer leans towards functional models with low maintenance costs. Utilities, family saloons and compact SUVs have good turnover. Petrol remains the most demanded fuel in used cars, although diesel maintains a presence in vehicles with higher mileage and intensive use.
A relevant factor for sellers: Murcia currently lacks an active LEZ with real restrictions, which means that cars without a label or with a B label have no problem circulating in the municipality. This broadens the range of potential buyers compared to cities where restrictions are already in place, and eliminates one of the main factors that depreciate the value of older vehicles in other markets.
Before publishing or accepting any offer, the first step is to know precisely how much your car is worth in the current market.
The Murcia LEZ: current situation and what it implies for your sale
As of January 2026, Murcia does not have an active Low Emission Zone with traffic restrictions. The city has been for years on the list of municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants that, despite the legal obligation established in the Climate Change Law of 2021, have not yet activated effective measures.
The City Council plans to implement the LEZ in the urban core and in high traffic density areas, with a special focus on the city centre, the Carmen district and the Infante. However, at the date of publication of this article, there is no approved ordinance or confirmed penalty schedule.
What this means for those selling in Murcia: your car's environmental label does not affect its local market value at all due to traffic restrictions. A car without a label or with a B label sells exactly the same as one with a C or ECO label in terms of access to the city. This is an advantage if you have an older vehicle: in Murcia it does not penalise you as it would in Madrid, Barcelona or Bilbao.
That being said, it is advisable to check the updated situation before posting the advert, as the implementation schedule may change. You can consult it on the Murcia City Council website or on the DGT electronic headquarters.
ITP in the Region of Murcia: how much the buyer pays
The ITP (Property Transfer Tax) in the Region of Murcia for second-hand vehicles has a general rate of 4% on the fiscal value of the car. It is one of the lowest rates in Spain along with Madrid, Andalusia, Aragon and the Basque Country, which makes buying a car in Murcia fiscally attractive for the buyer.
This tax is always paid by the buyer, not the seller. Even so, knowing it helps you anticipate objections during the negotiation and understand the actual total cost assumed by the person buying your car.
The procedure is managed at the Tax Agency of the Region of Murcia, and the form to present is model 620. The deadline is 30 working days from the signing of the sales contract.
To give you an idea of the real cost: if the fiscal value of your car is 10,000 euros, the buyer will pay 400 euros in ITP. If it is 15,000 euros, they will pay 600 euros. These are moderate figures that rarely generate objections in the negotiation, especially compared to autonomous communities that apply 6% or more.
Options for selling your car in Murcia
You have four main avenues, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
Classified portals. Wallapop, Coches.net, Milanuncios and AutoScout24 allow you to reach private buyers willing to pay the real market price. The process involves managing viewings, negotiations and transfer paperwork on your own. The time to close the sale can range from two weeks to several months depending on the model and price.
Local dealerships and used car dealers. Murcia has a wide range of direct purchase points, both in the urban core and in industrial estates on the outskirts. The advantage is immediacy; the disadvantage is that the offered price discounts the business's resale margin.
National direct purchase platforms. Companies such as Compramostucoche, Flexicar or Clicars have a presence in Murcia or the regional surroundings. They work with an indicative online valuation and a final offer after a face-to-face inspection. Before accepting any offer of this type, it is useful to understand well how the process works.
Dealcar. Your car enters competition among more than 1,000 verified professional dealerships from all over Spain. No need to travel: collection is from home in Murcia. Free for the seller and payment is before delivering the car.
Selling on portals from Murcia: what to expect
Publishing from Murcia works well for cars in regular use. The absence of an active LEZ is a point in your favour when you sell older cars or those without a label: you can advertise it without needing to warn of traffic restrictions, which simplifies the message and avoids common objections in other cities.
A practical detail: the extension of the municipality of Murcia means that many buyers filter by neighbourhood or district. Clearly indicate the area where you are located when publishing the advert to facilitate the logistics of the viewings.
For signing the contract between private individuals, it is mandatory to do so in duplicate. If you need a template, the Dealcar purchase and sale contract template is available for free.
Dealerships and used car dealers in Murcia
The Murcia area has a solid supply of used car dealerships, with national networks and local businesses spread throughout the municipality and the industrial estates on the outskirts. Competition among professional buyers in the area is reasonably active.
Before accepting any offer, request valuations from more than one place. The reason is simple: receiving multiple offers always improves the final price compared to negotiating with a single buyer. Bring the car clean, with a valid ITV (MOT) and with all documentation ready: registration certificate, technical sheet, latest insurance receipt, and maintenance history if you have it.

Specific procedures in Murcia
Once the sale is closed, the steps are the usual ones with the particularities of the Region of Murcia.
The ITP is managed by the buyer at the Tax Agency of the Region of Murcia. The form to be settled is Model 620, within 30 business days from the signing of the contract. This is not your responsibility as a seller, but it is useful to explain it to the buyer to avoid delays in the ownership transfer.
The change of ownership is processed at the DGT. The Provincial Traffic Headquarters of Murcia is located on Avenida Infante Don Juan Manuel. It can also be managed online on the DGT electronic headquarters or through an authorized agency.
Notify the sale to the DGT. As a seller, you are obliged to report the sale of the vehicle to prevent future fines or charges from arriving in your name. You can do this online with a digital certificate.
