Are pre-tax prices still lower in Ireland?

In 2000 I exported a new, unregistered car to the UK and registered it there. At the time, pre-tax prices were cheaper in Ireland than the UK and the taxes were lower in the UK. So, this all made sense, then. Is it still the case that pre-tax prices are lower in Ireland?

Will I need to pay VAT importing this Northern Ireland car?

Hi, just need some advice.

Thinking of purchasing a car from a Northern Irish dealer. The dealer classifies the car as used. It is a 2012 saloon with 3,830 miles (6,136 kilometres) on it and was registered in May 2012. On asking the history of the car as it has so low mileage, the dealer said the car was a UK car registered and used by the car manufacturer at their plant for use by its employees. VRT is payable but I'm assuming VAT is not payable as it's greater than six months old and is just over 6,000km. Just wanted opinions on whether VAT may be payable?

Many thanks
