Can I avoid VRT by inheriting a car?

The question
Can you avoid VRT by getting someone about to die in another country to buy it and leave it to you in their will? A bit cold but could be an option?

Hi Daire,
Wow. Quite cold right enough. Possibly, thankfully, it also won’t work. Even if you inherit the car, you’d still have to import it and re-register it and would still have to pay the VRT.
