Hello people,
I've done some search and can see there is high demand for my IT profession in Spain. I feel like I need to give it a try. Me and my family need to experience that warm climate at least for couple of years. We've discovered that it works really well for whole family while being in Caribbean for vacation. So having good IT job and warm climate in Spain supposed to be double win-win combination. And Spain can benefit yet another good worker and tax payer. We all speak French (Quebec) and English, and this year my kids started to learn Spanish under high school program.
All seems to look good and promising. But I'm not yet sure if I'm ready to part with my cars and motorcycle which are quite new and can be non-economical to get rid of. So I would appreciate an advice from someone knowledgeable with local experience in this regard.
My cars are:
Scion xD 1.8L '2012 - under 70 000km only - it is a kind of Toyota assembled in Japan and been sold to North America only, wife loves it.
Toyota 4Runner 4.0L '2016 - under 50 000km
motorcycle Yamaha FZ-09 (same as MT-09 in EU) 850cc '2017 - under 20 000km
All these vehicles have:
- metric dashboards: km/h, etc - which is same thing as in EU.
- day time running lights - those are front lights which turn on when engine starts
QUESTIONS:
- what should I expect to do when bring these cars and motorcycle to Spain to be able to drive them on Spanish roads?
- leaving apart the cost of sea freight, how much would it cost to obtain the registration and number plates, etc ?
- would it affect the insurance quotes in any way?
Thank you in advance for all possible tips and useful information.
