Can you advise me on buying an imported Ford Mondeo?
Hi, I am considering buying a Ford Mondeo 1.6 from a private garage. It is high spec, 2012, but an English import. I would appreciate your advice regarding English imports and should I get the car checked by a mechanic?
Regards,
Siobhan in Dublin

Should I be worried about buying a Vauxhall Insignia import?
I'm thinking of buying a 2009 Vauxhall Insignia diesel 2.0-litre, a UK import. Having read about the Service Update from Opel that relates to 2009 diesel Opel Insignias re: power pressure pipes that may crack and leak... should I be worried?

A few questions on the UK Ford Focus for you...
Is 82,000 miles a lot on a 2011 Ford Focus 1.6? It's an English car and the SD card that comes with the Focus has English maps - how do you change to Irish maps? What would be the value of this car?
Thank you.

Which of these diesel cars should I import from the UK?
I plan on going to the UK to buy a car soon. Thinking of a 2010/2011 diesel, a Qashqai, Passat, Sportage or Octavia. If I got a Kia it would still have warranty. Any other make with warranty like this? Can you give me advice?

How much to import my Toyota from the Middle East?
Hello, hoping this query finds you well. I am SO happy to find a site like this :) (especially for those women among us who aren't the most clued up on all car issues)
I'm hoping to be moving back home early mid summer 2015 and am hoping to bring my SUV with me... if it's financially feasible to do so. I'd be importing it from where we bought it in the Middle East in 2008 (2009 model). It's a Toyota Fortuner GX2 2.7 five-door petrol - I can't find exact or approximate costs for a VRT band on this, what road tax be like for it or get online insurance quotes for it either, so am wondering if you could throw any light on this for me please, as I'd rather avoid the case of some possible nasty shocks by doing my homework from now on this.
Many thanks for any advice at all. Rosemarie, from Cork.

How much will VRT cost on this Audi A6?
What is the road tax on a 2008 Audi A6 2.0-litre 140hp? It's the facelifted model. Also, what would the VRT be on the same model? It has 92,000 miles on the clock, a manual gearbox and was first registered in December.
Cheers,
Sean
