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.

I want to import a Vauxhall Vivaro van from Northern Irelan; will I have to pay VAT when I bring it down to the south along with VRT?

I'm looking at the Volvo EX40 twin motor top spec at the moment. How would the Sealion 7 compare in terms of build and ride quality, refinement etc?

Hey,

I have a 2011 VW Golf and it’s a UK import. I was just wondering am I able to change the digital dial and the speedometer to km/h? I’m a learner in Ireland so it would be easier for me to have it in km/h instead of mph.

Is it possible to have English language in the Aion V, to use in mainland China? I am French, living in Shenyang, Liaoning province, China.

Does the facelifted model of the Kia EV6 Earth still have the Vehicle-to-Load capability that the original model offered?

Does the Kia EV3 have 'i-Pedal' as standard in Ireland?

Thanks

How do I get a duplicate NCT cert?

Enjoyed the Skoda Octavia 1.5 Tec auto review. Just curious do you measure real world litres/100km versus official during your time with the car? I can’t see any reference in the piece. Just curious as I purchased one and while long motorway trips deliver 5.0 litres/100km, urban stop-start and suburban traffic means closer to 9.0 litres/100km or 30mpg in old money. Any information appreciated.

Kind regards
