Hi!

I have a 2002 Toyota Yaris VVT-i, mileage of 155,996 miles. I’m from Ireland. How much will a dealer will give me if I sell it?

Hi,

I live in Dublin and am looking to purchase a motorbike from a dealer in Northern Ireland. It’s a used 2022 model with 2,500km on the clock. The official dealer in NI sold it brand new to a person who registered it and used it only in NI. I want to know if VAT and Customs Duty will be payable if I buy the bike and bring it over to Dublin for registration?

Hi,

I plan to import a 2023 Polestar 2 from the UK: as it’s electric there is no VRT on the car. What is the situation in regard to VAT and import tax and what Is the best way around this? Is it best to first import into Northern Ireland? Are there many checks If driving the car back myself and using ferry?

Thanks

Are the Peugeot E-Rifter’s windows all electric? For example: the second row in the Allure L2 version?

Looking to buy a car from Northern Ireland but I just don’t have a clue what to expect with VRT. It seems too low right now (Revenue’s website said it’s €1,382). It’s a 2014 BMW F32 420d M Sport Coupe. First registered in May 2014. I believe the CO2 is 127g/km, not sure what the NOx is.

The owner has had it since 2015 in NI, so no VAT I believe. My main issue is that the OMSP is saying the car is valued at €4,226 right now but like you could never get a 4 Series for that low in Ireland so I don’t know what the actual market value will be when they go to calculate it.

I am buying a crewcab van in Northern Ireland and I have two options. I can buy one on English plates or one that has been registered in Northern Ireland for the past four months but was originally on English plates.

Can you work out how much VRT and Import Duty would need to be paid if buying either? I know both are worked out on the value of the van but how does Revenue put a value on the van? Is there a saving by buying the one on NI plates or the English registered one? What paperwork is required to register either van?

Has the Dacia Bigster got hand grab rails in the roof?

I am looking for a trade-in value for my 2020 top-of-the range Kia Soul EV. Only 14,500km on the clock and it has a full service history and just one owner. Looking to trade-in for a new EV.

Thank you

When will the Kia EV3 be available in the States? Will it be built in Georgia?

Hi,

I'm looking to change from my 2011 VW Passat Saloon 1.4 petrol. This has been a great car for me and I’m looking to change to a 2022/2023 VW Passat Estate - 1.5 petrol. These are thin on the ground here and as they aren't sold here anymore this will become even more so. There are plenty around in the UK but I’m wondering if there are still the same savings to be made when importing from the UK as there once was?
