What is the difference between the SEAT Tarraco XCellence and the XCellence Lux besides the price?

Thank you

Hi there,

Could you recommend something for us around €6k that's economical, cheap to tax and reliable? We don't have a clue what to buy; it just needs reasonable room for two plus a child. Just to make things more challenging it needs to be automatic. Any directions you could point us in would be much appreciated!

Would you lease or purchase a Porsche Macan? Looking at 2019 registrations max one previous owner.

So... how is motorcycle tax worked out in 2019?

What comes standard on the new Kia xCeed in Ireland?

I want to buy a 3.0-litre Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200 vehicle, for the purpose of transporting horse and ponies by horsebox. I have a herd number as I am the owner of several equines and have my premises registered. Can I buy the above models, as commercial vehicles, but get private motor tax and insurance on them, as I do not have a business or trade and am using the vehicle for recreational use? I can't seem to get any answers or details from tax office.

Thanks.

Auto services changed my tyres, but not valves. Is it legal?
