I'm looking to buy my first EV but not sure which is best value, performance, warranty, most suitable for family of five that, alongside city driving can also travel on 400km trips about 10 times per year and 1,000km drive once per year.

Looking for advice please. My budget is about €25,000.

Thank you.

I'm looking at buying a new VW Amarok Aventura for around €80k including VAT. It will primarily be used for work, but I will on occasion use it for personal use. How do I work out the BIK?

Does the N1 commercial Toyota Land Cruiser come with leather seats as standard?

Hi,

My daughter lives/works in Maynooth but goes to the North occasionally for work. She wants to buy a Volkswagen Polo from the North (cheaper obviously) and use it mostly in the Republic. She is from the UK (Kent) and has residency to work/pay taxes etc. Will she need to import it?

Is there a reason why XPeng offer a five-year warranty in Ireland and better durations for warranties in other countries? Does the motor industry or government monitor warranty discrepancies in the EU single market vs. other countries to advocate for consumers?

Hi all,

Love reading the reviews. Are there any plans for Peugeot to sell the plug-in-hybrid 5008 here in Ireland and if yes when is it expected to be available to order?

I'm a company car driver and the plug-in hybrid would be the best of both worlds for me trying to keep BIK costs down as electric would just not work for me or my job.

Hi,

Is it possible to put seats back into a VW Tiguan commercial van and change its use from commercial back to private and insure it as private vehicle?

Thank you

When will the new Citroen C3 Aircross be available in Ireland? Will it be available in a manual petrol version?

Thanks

I paid a deposit on a 2024 electric car in Northern Ireland. The car is being sold by a motor garage, registered in June 2024 with 2,600 miles on the clock. I am now worried I will be charged VAT  in Ireland as the car was a demonstration model with the garage.

I have tried to get an answer with Revenue, and they have said it is decided on a case-by-case basis. I do not know what to do now.

Do you know if i will be charged?
