Does the 2014 SsangYong Korando 2.2 diesel have a timing belt or timing chain?

Hello,

I'm an employee but also have a business name registered which I only used for sideline contacts a handful of times 20 years ago. I was going to register for VAT for the sole purpose of buying a used commercial SUV and availing of the €333 tax rate. I don’t intend to trade as I’m happy enough staying as an employee. Would this be possible or classed as fraud?

Regards

I’m looking to buy a small van; it’s a 2018 Citroen Berlingo registered in Northern Ireland. I’m paying £4,000 stg. How much in total duties do I have to pay?

I have used Carzone for independent valuations on my own car and on second hand cars which I am considering purchasing. My 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid was valued at €21,500 and a 2023 Yaris Cross at €24,000. When I asked the dealer however the cost of upgrading was €10,300. I was left speechless!

Where do I go from here?

If I import a Suzuki Jimny XC from Japan will it need an IVA?

Hi,

I am looking at purchasing a Volvo XC60 PHEV T6, a 2022/2023 model, with approx. pure electric range of 70km. My daily commute is from Cork city to Ringaskiddy (20km) three days per week, whereby I don’t get much over 60km/h most of the journey, then Cork city to Bantry (80km) twice a week, which is relatively standard driving, some overtaking when possible.

Does this car make any sense for what I need, given the variance in journeys? Also does the hybrid behave differently when driving the Bantry journey, or will the range be eaten up straight away?

Have you any idea why the Kia EV3 top range GT Line-S is not available here or why the (no additional €600 cost) Sunset Orange colour is not offered to Irish customers?

The MDL website annoyingly, does not have full specs for the XPeng G6. Does it come with I-Pedal, HUD and Highway Drive Assist 2?

Hello,

I’m thinking of buying a 2007 Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro model. Has it a timing belt or a timing chain?

How much is it to tax a 2018 Peugeot Partner van privately? It’s a 1.6 diesel.
