Hi,

I own 2013 Mazda3 2013 1.6 diesel Venture Edition. My question is, does it have timing belt or timing chain?

Thank you.

New Ford Ranger Wildtrak private tax cost and Raptor private tax cost please.

Have you driven the new Mazda CX-80 yet, or will you be doing so soon?

Is the 2025 Kia EV6 going to be available with AWD in Ireland? Its website says “The EV6 is available in three electric powertrain variants and two trim variants, so you can be sure to choose the option that’s just right for you and your lifestyle”, which seems to suggest it will.

Hi,

I am looking at a 2021 Skoda Enyaq priced at £24k. It was originally registered in NI. Is this exempt from VRT, duty, VAT etc? Or are there any other hidden charges I might be liable for?

Many thanks

Are there any used Xpeng cars?

How much is motor tax for a year in a 1.6 diesel?

If most of your driving is short journeys on suburban roads around Dublin will the issues with the rear suspension, as you and other reviewers reference, be a deal breaker? Mazda have apparently addressed this problem in the revamped 2025 CX-60, but what about the CX-80?

Why does Revenue charge €1,000 for a number plate reservation? This “service” seems to benefit premium luxury vehicles but appears expensive when buying a new economy model. Initially from the foundation of the State it was free as the dealer could register the car but from the 1990s Revenue was charging €350. This service was also available for imported vehicles but ceased in 2015 without explanation. Driving licences and the NCT cost only a fraction in comparison.

Looking for VRT estimate on a 2013 Mercedes CL 500 4.6-litre V8 bi-turbo with 105k miles on the clock.

Thanks
