How much VRT do you think I'll pay on this BMW?

I am thinking of importing a new BMW 320d M Sport with about £2,000 of optional extras. I can't find the exact car on the ROS website; can you tell me please how much you reckon the VRT would be on this type of car?

Many thanks lads: great website!

How much VRT would I pay on a nearly new Morgan?

Hello, can you tell me how much VRT would be due on a 2013 Morgan 4/4 with CO2 emissions of 143g/km and 4,000 miles on the clock? UK price is £31,000. I can't find anything on the VRT calculator and Revenue haven't as yet gotten back to me - asked them three weeks ago!!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

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

Should a dealer be asking me to pay an import's VRT?

I Am buying a car from a small dealer, he has brought it in from the UK. He wants me to pay with bank transfer or draft & wait for it to clear before letting me drive away in the car or getting the car registered or paying the VRT. Also he wants me to pay the VRT as he is not TAN registered? What are your thoughts?

Does BMW know something about 2013 VRT rates?

I've just seen the 2013 price list on BMW's website. In the last few days, BMW has changed the VRT rates on its car configurator from the current rates, to what I presume must be the new anticipated rates. Band A and B appear split and have risen a lot. Prices have obviously risen as a result. Does BMW have information nobody else has or is it just taking a chance based on rumours from the Department of Finance? Do you have any knowledge of this?
