Volkswagen ID.3 77 kWh (4 plazas)

2021 · 84,000 km · €18,000 · Barcelona

Our conclusion

Interesting on paper — nothing odd in the listing data; confirm the battery with a measurement before putting money down.

Before you make an offer, bear in mind:

we don't know whether €18,000 is a good price: compare it with similar listings yourself (see the price section) before offering yours
with ITP and the DGT fee, the car costs you €18,056 or more at the asking price

Does the price make sense?

Asking price: €18,000
Market price: unknown yet — 0 similar listings in our database, we need 3

Check the market yourself: Volkswagen ID.3, version “77 kWh (4 plazas)”, first registered 2020–2022, 64,000–104,000 km, on coches.net, milanuncios.com, wallapop.com or autoscout24.es — compare cash prices

Arguments for negotiating:

Battery health stated without a verifiable report (until the seller shows it): −€300 … −€150
Private seller: by law answers for less than a dealer — a reason to pay less than dealer prices

Cost at your door

Tax area: the same — no border formalities, no import tax
In total at the asking price: €18,056 or more — price + ITP + DGT fee
Transfer tax (ITP), if a private person sells: €0 (0%, Catalonia)
ITP rate: the ad's region; you pay your own region's — 0% to 8% for this car
ITP return: must be filed even at 0%
DGT fee for the change of ownership: €55.70

What to ask the seller

Can you send a photo of the technical data sheet (ficha técnica) or the certificate of conformity (COC)? I want to check the power: the ad gives 204 CV (150 kW), but portals often fill that in from their catalogue, and it's the figure that tells which battery the car has.
Do you have a battery certificate (Aviloo, official workshop)? Can you send the link/QR of the digital certificate?
Can you send a photo of the battery screen charged to 100% with the estimated km?
Which service campaigns have been applied? And the maintenance invoices?

Before you pay anything:

DGT report (€8.67): order the informe completo with the plate or VIN — keepers, ITV and mileage, pending recalls, seizures; a «reserva de dominio» blocks the transfer
VIN: ask for it before the viewing; check it matches on the car, the permiso de circulación, the ficha técnica and the DGT report, and ask a main dealer of the brand whether any campaign is pending on it
Deposit (señal): only in writing — VIN, price and a full refund if the battery test or the DGT report is bad
Private sale: pay only the keeper named on the permiso de circulación, by transfer to their account, with a contract naming the VIN; then 30 days for the DGT transfer, with the ITP return filed first
