Can I get this version of the Jeep Avenger in Ireland?

Hi,

I am seeking to purchase the new Jeep Avenger 85th Anniversary Edition in a commercial vehicle (CDV) form but I have been advised by a Jeep dealership that the 85th anniversary will not be available in this market.

Can you kindly advise where I can purchase this vehicle within Ireland and approximately when this will be for sale in Ireland, thanks?

Why no spare wheel in the Toyota RAV4 in Ireland?

In your video review of the 2026 plug-in-hybrid Toyota RAV4 GR Sport Neil clearly mentions the space saver spare wheel. I was in a dealership yesterday looking at the new RAV4 and I was told that there won't be a spare wheel in the new model. Why is that? The spare wheel seems to be in every RAV4 in every other country.

Which all-wheel-drive hybrid SUV for about €40,000?

Hi,

I am driving a 172 Honda CR-V Sport AWD with 150k on the clock and it's the best car I have ever driven, and I am not young! You will know Honda stopped manufacturing this vehicle in 2018. Basically, I need to change as the mileage is getting high.

I want AWD, hybrid petrol or plug-in and my budget is €25k and I estimate my car is worth €18k on trade in giving me over €40k.

I looked at the Toyota RAV4, but I am not sure. I don't think I can afford another Honda which would be my preference as they are very expensive and I don't think the 2019 to 2023 has a very good reputation.

Any help would be great

What to do about insurance to get my car to the garage?

My car failed its NCT and has been off the road. While waiting for the part to repair it (from abroad - current delays of several months) my insurance has expired. I am finding difficulty in getting cover to drive to garage to get it repaired.

Any suggestions?

Wondering about paperwork on importing a car from NI...

Hi,

I was reading your piece on importing a car from Northern Ireland and I had a few questions:

If importing a GB-reg car that has been in use in Northern Ireland for a 'reasonable period of time' and I can show this by V5C and an MOT carried out in NI is that enough for Revenue in Ireland so that I don't have to pay customs or VAT?

In your piece you say that I must show "a copy of an invoice from a transport company identifying the vehicle and delivery date; tax and insurance details indicating use in Northern Ireland."

What if I can't get those documents from the dealer I purchase the car from?

I would be grateful for your advice.

Thanks

Conor

Hybrid or fully electric car for my needs?

Hi,

I'm looking to change my car; I currently drive a 2.0 diesel, and I was looking at hybrid or fully electric but I'm not sure what's best for me. I drive 30 minutes on a motorway every day to work and every second week I drive two hours on the motorway to visit family; which is best for me to buy?

Which used hybrids for under €35,000?

Hi,

Just wondering what are the top 5/10 second-hand hybrids that you'd would recommend buying on the Irish market? I would love to buy a full electric car, but where I live, no can do. I have up to €35,000 to spend.
