Agony of car registration
I eventually decided to register my German plated car .I bought the car three years ago and every time i wanted to change the registration to Spanish some hurdle came up.They ask for really stupid stuff.One amazing thing in Spain is that although Franco is dead and gone but his images are everywhere.By images i mean you always see characters asking you for really none sense information that has absolutely got nothing to do with them nor the job your are doing.The number of papers you end up holding in your hands are enormous,like a bloody thick book and thats just for changing registration of a car.They come up with any excuse to put you off and I mean anything.Anyway i am determined to finish this.day one started with paying the first tax,purchasing tax at 4% of the value of the car.Went to the Hacienda to pay it,what pay?are you kidding?you don't pay here oh no we don't accept money you have to get the form fill it in and then go to the bank and pay the sum.where is the office?the other end of Valencia. Now the banks don't accept any payment after 10.30 am so it will have to be tomorrow.
My wife paid the money to the bank the day after and off we go again to the office in another town to find out and with a little luck pay the freakin tax at 7% of the value of the car for importation but I asked this car is from Germany and it is second hand so all taxes have already been paid why sjould I pay another tax? Ah he say with that stupid look beer stinking breath ,no this in not tax,so what the fuck is it then?it has a different name in Spanish,really?very clever.Well he says it can't be done now or here,you'd have to do it on the internet, What?
You sound as if 99% of Spanish housholds have internet connection,oh another thing ,it can not be done from a netcafe has to be private.fuck me!!!!
Came home went on the internet and got a fucking stupid code.The day after went back to see what this time?The idiot was not there and had to find another wanker again stinking of alcohol at 10.30am.
What do I do with this code now I said to the wanker,he looked as if i was talking Arabic.He has no intention of telling me what to do, just watches me in total silence.Please don't bother me now I am too pissed and need a nap so be kind enough and come back in twenty years time.fuck off now.
Gave up and decided to give it to a gestor(go between) who promised to do it in 2 days,bull shit,2days my foot,in this shit hole third world toilet nothing can happen in 2 months never mind 2 days and I know soon or later she is gonna come back to me and make 100 excuse to bump up her share.
I am absolutely pissed off with the fact that no one wants to work in this country,just get paid and do the minimum possible.People's time and money is worth nothing here.its worthless but they are used to this shit and nobody seems to complain.
I'll let you know what happend next.
