The used car market in Pamplona
Pamplona is the capital of Navarre and a city with an active and well-consolidated second-hand car market. Its character as a regional capital, with a diversified economy in industry, services and the university, generates a constant demand for used vehicles among residents and workers throughout the metropolitan area.
The profile of the Pamplona buyer is pragmatic and well-informed. Utility cars, compacts and family saloons have good rotation. The northern climate, with cold winters and frequent rains, means that cars with good handling on wet roads are especially valued. SUVs have gained market share in recent years, especially among buyers from the rural areas of the region.
A relevant piece of information for anyone selling in 2026: Pamplona has an active LEZ with penalties since January 1, 2026, restricted to the Old Town (Casco Antiguo). The affected area is compact and the impact on the value of most cars in the local market is limited, although it is useful to understand the rules well to anticipate potential objections from buyers.
Before publishing or accepting any offer, the first step is to know precisely how much your car is worth in the current market.
The Pamplona LEZ: current situation and what it implies for your sale
The Pamplona LEZ entered into force on 30 December 2025 and penalties have been effective since 1 January 2026, without any prior adaptation period. The delimited area covers the entire Old Town, bounded by Taconera street, Navas de Tolosa street, Paseo de Sarasate, Duque de Ahumada street, Juan de Labrit street, Vergel street and Santo Domingo street. Control is carried out by 50 license plate identification points installed at the 13 signposted access points of the zone.
Vehicles without an environmental badge are prohibited from accessing unless they are residents of Sector 1 and Paseo de Sarasate, garage space owners within the LEZ, people with reduced mobility, emergency services or goods distribution with authorization. Cars with B, C, ECO and zero-emission badges can circulate freely. The ordinance also contemplates specific 30-minute accesses for certain tasks.
The implementation is planned on a progressive basis, with extension to other parts of the city from 2030 to meet the emission indicators of the World Health Organization.
What this means for anyone selling in Pamplona: the Old Town concentrates intense commercial activity and almost 20% of all journeys in the municipality, so the environmental badge does matter for buyers who need to access that area regularly. However, the LEZ only affects vehicles without a badge, which limits the impact to the oldest cars. For cars with a B badge or higher, there is no restriction at the moment.
ITP in Navarre: how much the buyer pays
Navarre has its own regional tax regime (régimen foral) and applies an ITP (Property Transfer Tax) of 4% for second-hand vehicles, one of the lowest rates in Spain. There is also a very relevant tax advantage: vehicles older than 10 years and under a value of 40,000 euros are exempt from ITP in Navarre, provided they are not classified as historic vehicles.
This tax is always paid by the buyer, not the seller. The process is carried out at the Treasury of Navarre (Hacienda Foral de Navarra), and the form to settle is Model 620. The deadline is 30 business days from the signing of the sales contract.
To give you an idea of the real cost: if the taxable value of your car is 10,000 euros and it is under 10 years old, the buyer will pay 400 euros in ITP. If the car is older than 10 years and is worth less than 40,000 euros, the buyer does not pay ITP. This exemption for old cars is an argument you can use with confidence if you are selling a vehicle that is more than a decade old: the tax cost for the buyer is zero.
Options for selling your car in Pamplona
You have four main ways to sell your car from Pamplona.
Classified ad 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.
Local dealerships and used car dealers. Pamplona has an active offer of direct purchase points, both in the municipality and in the metropolitan area. The advantage is immediacy; the disadvantage is that the price offered discounts the resale margin.
National direct purchase platforms. Companies like Compramostucoche, Flexicar or Clicars have a presence in the area or in nearby municipalities. They work with an indicative online valuation and a final offer after an in-person inspection. Before accepting any offer of this type, it is useful to understand well what lies behind the process.
Dealcar. Your car enters competition among more than 1,000 verified professional dealerships across Spain. No need to travel: collection is from your doorstep in Pamplona. It is free for the seller and payment is made before delivering the car.
Selling on portals from Pamplona: what to expect
Publishing from Pamplona works well for cars with any environmental badge except without a badge, which have restrictions in the Old Town. For cars with a B, C, ECO or zero-emission badge, there is no problem driving in the LEZ and local demand is active.
For cars older than 10 years and under a value of 40,000 euros, the ITP exemption in Navarre is a useful selling point. The buyer will not have to pay this tax, which reduces the total cost of the transaction and can make it easier to close at a reasonable price.
For the signing of the contract between private individuals, it must be done in duplicate. If you need a template, the Dealcar purchase agreement model is available for free.
Car dealerships and used car dealers in Pamplona
Pamplona has a consolidated offer of used car dealerships, with national networks and well-established local businesses. The demand from the capital and its metropolitan area keeps the market moving sufficiently.
Before accepting any offer, request a valuation in more than one place. The reason is direct: receiving several offers always improves the final price compared to negotiating with a single buyer. Bring the car clean, with a valid MOT (ITV) and all documentation ready: registration certificate, logbook, latest insurance receipt and maintenance history if you have it.
Dealcar: receive offers from dealerships across Spain from Pamplona
Selling your car in Pamplona does not have to be limited to local buyers. With Dealcar, your car enters competition among more than 1,000 verified professional dealerships across Spain, which drives up the price due to the effect of competition among buyers.

Specific procedures in Pamplona
Once the sale is closed, the steps are the usual ones with the specific details of Navarre's regional tax system.
The ITP is managed by the buyer at the Treasury of Navarre. It is based in Pamplona. The model to be settled is 620, within 30 business days from the signing of the contract. Remember that if the car is older than 10 years and is worth less than 40,000 euros, the buyer is exempt from paying this tax.
The change of ownership is processed at the DGT. The Provincial Traffic Headquarters of Navarre is located on Pío XII Avenue in Pamplona. It can also be managed online through the DGT electronic headquarters or through an authorised agency (gestoría).
Notify the sale to the DGT. As a seller, you are obliged to communicate the transfer of the vehicle to prevent future fines from arriving in your name. You can do this online with a digital certificate.
