350z based on TT

Asking price new is €65k. Very exclusive car now. Quite a few imports for sale but nobody is buying them. Import asking price is approxomately the same as a second hand Irish car. Also means there's more Porsche's on the road than Z's. They are happy selling as many Micra's as possible.

 

just a thought, if I was to sell my car, would I be better off selling it in Ireland then, at much cheaper price say 30k, cant tax second hand car

 

Sorry mate. The buyer would still have to pay VRT to the tax man. On a Z it's between 33 and 35% of the open market selling price. Which means If you tried to sell a 07 here to me I'd have to pay the tax based on the price of an Irish car. Having said that if you were having trouble selling your car it might be worth it contacting some Irish importers to see what they'll offer.

 

 

Hmm so if I went over to Ireland drove my car there for holiday, an 05 plate, met someone who was willing to pay cash if I sell for 22k, come back without the car, would they still get hit for tax?

 

This is very interesting

 

Yep. Would be about €15000 in tax I think.

 

 

bloody ell what about after taking the money I say it was a gift, no tax then?

If you bring a car into this country you have to pay VRT. The only exception is if you lived abroad for a about a year and owned and registered the car for 6 months, I think, in that country and then decided to more to Ireland.
