Hi,
I am planning to move to Ibiza next year and am doing my calculations (eek) have sussed out long term accomodation and am planning to buy a cheap car when I'm there so a few questions: how much is car tax on a small opel corsa or similar and how much is comprehensive insurance (roughly) for a 35 full clean drivers licence?
Thank you. Any advice appreciated!

you won't believe this but on a tiny speck of an island your car tax depends on which borough you live in. i pay about 60 euros a year for the privilege of driving on the busy streets of san jose ie about €7.50 per street.

insurance premiums are about the same as the uk - i use direct line (linea directa) who will communicate with you in god's own language should you require.
 
running the car is ok.

but be warned, cheap cars are few and far between here, in fact it's not the cost, more the value for money.

you can be sure to get it 20-40% cheaper in mainland spain.

There aint any.
It's a small island with the population of a large town in th UK so there's not a lot of cars available in the first place and what there is, is expensive. Spare parts are ridiculous prices.
