I am buying my first car in Ireland. I have driven for many years in Canada. What can I expect to pay in car insurance rates in Ireland? What is the criteria that insurance companies use to determine the rates? I am 65 years old, have an excellent driving record and plan to buy a 2013 Nissan Note.

Please advise.

Hi,

What amount would I expect to pay on the NOx tax if I was to import an early 2016 Skoda Octavia 1.6 diesel 110hp, and roughly how much VRT would I have to pay also, if I didn’t get one with more than 50k miles?

Thanks

Hi,

I am thinking of buying an 09 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel, but I have no knowledge in terms of engine services or what type is better between 1.6 petrol and 1.6 diesel.

Thanks

Hi,

I wanted to find out what limits are on camper insurance and tax if the vehicle is older than 30 years? What class of tax and insurance does it fall into and does it require NCT/VRT testing? Are there mileage restrictions on vintage insurance?

Any advice appreciated.

Thank you.

I was thinking about importing a 2016 Toyota Verso 1.6 diesel and I’m just wondering how much roughly will it cost to import. It has 50,000 miles on the clock I know it may very depending on spec. But with duty and the new charge?

Hi,

I imported a Nissan Skyline and the VRT being sought is a little over €20k. Can I appeal it before paying? The car cost me €8.5k.

Hello,

I got a 1999 Toyota Cresta 2.0 auto petrol in from Japan in November. I went to the VRT/NCT office to get the reg and, as I was missing one document, was told to come back after Xmas. Nobody said anything about the NOx charge coming in 2020...

So now I have to pay this charge even though I have the NOx/CO2 numbers for the car from the seller in Japan. Also, the VRT came in at €5,500; this a crazy price for a 1999 car - Revenue thinks the car is worth €20,000 and it's actually only worth €4,000 or €5,000 at most; I cannot pay this amount so what can I do?

What is the OMSP on Tesla Model 3 new? Not listed on Revenue's site.
