Hi everyone,
I just got the PPL, I'm a new pilot and new to the aviation world so I have no idea what the steps are to buy an used airplane, I'd like a Cessna 152 or 172, I've seen plenty from 30.000 to 60.000 euros from 1965-1990, in Spain only one so I would have to import it from other country.
I've been looking for info on internet but havenīt found any, so can somebody explain to me the steps or tell me some website or place where I can be informed.
e.g in a car:
1-Pay the car, and make a contract with the owner/seller.
2-Go to the traffic administration office, show the car papers and contract, and pay the transmission tax (which is a percentage from car value or acquisition price) and pay the fees.
3-If itīs imported pay the new registration for the number plate (also according to the car value).
4-The car is now registered und your name.

-Is it similar with an airplane?
-Is it the same process in all E.U countries?
-Is it the same to import and U.S and E.U airplane?
-Where is all the paper work done? In Spain I guess in AESA (Aviation Safety and Security Agency)?
