Should I wait until Jan to save on VRT?

Thinking of importing car from UK before Christmas and wondering would there be a saving on VRT by waiting until January?

Hi Eric,

Possibly slightly, assuming that a strong January for new car sales means a softening of used car values, but to be honest the current flood of UK imports (70,000 so far this year and counting) is already killing second hand prices, so there’s probably not going to be a huge difference.
