Hi John,
The amount of VRT you pay depends on a number of factors, and it isn't always possible to estimate the exact figure until the car has been inspected in Ireland. Read our How Much VRT is Paid in Ireland guide to start with and then come back to us with full details of the car if you want us to try to estimate the likely VRT bill.
