Remspoor Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Jogger (Trim level Essential) here in Spain is 18040€ Black is standard colour. 1st registration costs for this car with WLTP is 0% Because it runs on LPG. Issue is there are not many filling stations that one can use. Moving on to a petrol engine (trim level Expression) then basic will cost 19550€ 1st registration cost will still be 0 The above costs do not include plates or fees to make the registration documents in your name. I have no idea how much they are these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
