What are costs to move my nearly-new car to Ireland?
How does importing a car work if you bought (brand new) in the North and lived there for a year, but then move to the south and imported the car when you move? What do you pay?

Hi Zoe,
Costs should be minimal assuming you can prove the timings, as you should be able to avail of the Transfer of Residence (TOR) system. Go to that official link to read about it and check if you're eligible.
