What is the motor tax on a 141 Volvo XC90?

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a commercial SUV; what is the tax rate on it?

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a used car in the UK. We need a spacious, reliable and safe family car. The Vauxhall Insignia seems really great value for money. High spec models even. Are there any glaring problems with them? Say 2010 - 2011. They are cheaper than the Mondeo and Passat.

Hi,

I'm thinking of importing a new car from the UK. I am aware that I will need to pay VRT and VAT in Ireland. My question is whether I will be able to reclaim the UK VAT if I export the car immediately on purchase.

I am looking at a car in the UK and I was given a VRT rate of €4,855. Do I also have to to pay VAT, or is the VRT inclusive? The price of the car is £11,490 for a 2012 model.

Performance and fuel consumption for Honda's RE4?

I was planning on buying a new Octavia in Feb and I've just seen the new one. Can get a deal on the old one now or is the new one worth waiting for?

Hyundai Tucson or SEAT Ateca? I can't decide! Which would you choose and why? I need a diesel, we have two kids and I commute about 150km a day in total.

Thanks

Hi,

I am thinking about purchasing a US car that has just been registered in the UK. The car in question meets the UK IVA standards and passed all tests. The lights have also been adjusted to meet EU standards. I have two questions:

1. Is the IVA test good enough (the car hasn't really been driven much in the UK and looks to have all documents in check) or should I fork out for an independent test. Trying to minimize my spend as I will need it for VRT.

2. How much will VRT be on a 2014 5.7-litre?

Many thanks

Derek

What's the whirring noise in my Nissan Primera 1.8 (2002)? It starts when the car is in motion not when stationary.
