Lisbon, Aug 2025

I brought my BMW X6 in for service and they answered me very good. I even brought it back after a year and they were very very helpful in getting not just services but things done much cheaper than at BMW. They were helpful in everything and still remain to be very helpful. Good guys, I’d highly recommend them.

I bought a DS7 Crossback from Dream Cars and they had many good cars. I found the exact model I wanted in impeccable condition, we skipped the test drive because we already knew what we wanted, and they quickly sent the car for the inspections and checks. The negotiation, signing of the documents and delivery were fast and on time, and when a small electrical failure showed up later they informed us, sent it to the brand to verify and gave us a replacement car while it was under repair - we were very well assisted. Communication was always clear, everyone was nice, and the price felt fair after they lowered it a bit.

Lisbon, Jul 2025

I originally wanted to sell my car and buy a new one, and I ended up buying my new car with Dreamcars. I felt no pressure during the visit, the car selection worked for me, and the paperwork went smoothly with them being quite helpful. I spoke mostly in English, sometimes Spanish, and while not everyone had great English there were one or two people who did so it was fine. Pricing felt fair with a bit of negotiation possible, and I would definitely recommend them.

How much do car dealers cost in Lisbon?

Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted car dealers actually do. Updated July 2026

Electric and hybrid cars

How much does an electric car cost through a dealer in Lisbon?

Quoted per vehicle, with incentives and tax treatment changing the real cost more than the sticker. Ask what is current rather than assuming.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Import sourcing

How much does importing a car to Portugal cost?

Sourcing fee plus transport plus Portuguese registration tax, which is the part that surprises people. Get the tax estimated before committing.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Luxury and sports cars

How much does a luxury car cost through a dealer in Lisbon?

Quoted per vehicle. Registration tax on high-emission cars in Portugal is substantial, so budget the on-the-road figure.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

New cars

How much does a new car cost through a dealer in Lisbon?

Set by the manufacturer's list price and what the dealer will discount. Portuguese registration tax is a large part of the number, so compare on the on-the-road price.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Used cars

How much does a used car cost through a dealer in Lisbon?

Priced per vehicle, so there is no useful average. Pay an independent mechanic to inspect anything before you buy, and read the contract carefully if it is in Portuguese.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Instant car buy-back

How much will a dealer pay for my car in Lisbon?

An immediate offer, typically below private-sale value in exchange for speed and no paperwork. Worth getting two.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Sale on consignment

How much does selling on consignment cost in Lisbon?

The dealer sells on your behalf for a commission or a fixed fee. Get the percentage and the minimum price in writing.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Trade-in and part-exchange

How much is my car worth in part-exchange in Lisbon?

Valued per vehicle after inspection. Get a separate offer from a buy-back service to know whether the trade-in is fair.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Financing and leasing

How much does car financing cost in Lisbon?

Priced as an interest rate and a term, so compare the total repayable rather than the monthly figure. Banks and dealers rarely offer the same deal.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Warranty packages

How much does a used car warranty cost in Lisbon?

Priced by vehicle age, mileage and cover level. Read what is excluded, since that is where these differ.

Basis
quoted per vehicle and per deal
Independent inspection first
around €150

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring car dealers in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking car dealers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring car dealers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring car dealers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say car dealers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, car dealers are usually called stands automoveis. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find car dealers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
