By submitting a question you are agreeing to this statement. Thank you.I have a 2016 Mercedes GLC 220d 4Matic. I love the car but I find that, with an adult or two in the back, the suspension feels very soft and even feels like it bottoms out on hitting even a slight undulation on a good road. Are these cars noted for soft suspension? Please give me your opinion. It is under warranty and I took it to a Merc dealer yesterday where I bought it, but I think he was trying to fob me off and said he couldn't find fault with it.

I bought a car in the UK and took it for inspection. It has just 2,995km the on purchase invoice and so I was caught for VAT. The dealer will buy it back, put the miles on it and then sell it to my wife. I assume I cannot bring it in a second time as this would probably be tax evasion? Since my wife is a separate person am I correct in thinking that Revenue will accept this?

Hi,
I am looking at importing a BMW 4 Series from the UK, March 2018 with 100 miles on the clock. I am trying to work out the tax implications. Can you let me know if my assumptions below are correct?
Purchase price in UK £23,000 = €26,200
VAT Qualifying @20% = €4,367
VRT = €7,069 (from VRT calculator)
Revenue OMSP = €37,206
Irish VAT = €37,206 X 23% = €8,557
Total import cost = €26,200+€7,069+€8,557 = €41,826
VAT refund from UK = €4,367
Total car cost = €37,459
Thanks
Tim
