Is it worth importing a 2009 Saab 9-3 diesel?

Hi,

I want to know how much VRT I would have to pay on a 2009 Saab 9-3 1.9 diesel. When I try and do it on the VRT website it doesn’t give me the option of that actual model. Don’t want to buy it if the duty is going to end up costing me too much and then the car won’t be worth the money then.

Thanks

Import costs on a 2014 BMW 420d?

Looking to buy a car from Northern Ireland but I just don’t have a clue what to expect with VRT. It seems too low right now (Revenue’s website said it’s €1,382). It’s a 2014 BMW F32 420d M Sport Coupe. First registered in May 2014. I believe the CO2 is 127g/km, not sure what the NOx is.

The owner has had it since 2015 in NI, so no VAT I believe. My main issue is that the OMSP is saying the car is valued at €4,226 right now but like you could never get a 4 Series for that low in Ireland so I don’t know what the actual market value will be when they go to calculate it.

Is VRT higher on an Audi TT Roadster?

Hi,

I'm thinking of importing a convertible car (2017 Audi TT 1.8 petrol cabriolet) from Northern Ireland and put the details into the VRT calculator. However, the calculator only gives the choice of three 1.8 petrol models, all of which are coupes, not convertibles. Is VRT higher for a convertible car?

Thanks
