well any ideas

The car looks clean but hard for us to value owing to different taxation rules.

There is not much in the way of extras that I can see.

Could do with some bigger pictures

you say taxation do you mean road tax in ireland at the moment any
car over 2.5L the road tax is 1300 euro a year

Hello


Its roughly £11.5K Uk pounds, 132K miles and 8 years old..

Its hard for us to say as cars in Ireland are more exspensive. Is it worth you buying in the UK and importing it?

Funny as I sold a Fiesta and a MX5 to buyers in Ireland, apparently they are worth quite a lot even adding the mot style test and tax's.

I also imported a different Mx5 from dublin as it was cheaper....daft really.


This looked quite good having a quick look (new shape..)

thanks they both look like nice cars the 2003 is very nice

the euro to British Pound Exchange Rate
1.27 cent euro to 1 pound

which is great for buying in ireland if you are from england but and its a big but you have higher spec cars in england as they are so exp in ireland

i may take a trip some time this summer and find my dream car in england but the only thing is when i get back to ireland i must pay VRT on it and that could go in too thousands

Hello

The guy who bought my wifes Mx5 was still saving and getting a higher spec car, so it could be worth looking into?


good luck

Price, is down to the condition of the car, that would be up to you. Looks good but I wouldn’t like the mileage, there are a lot of dealers on carzone masquerading as private sellers, that tax disc looks to be of a UK car, no mention of NCT (M.O.T.) or disc visable. There are a lot of cars being imported into Ireland from UK due to the higher profits and sold via that site. Not putting you off, but tread carefully.

This is one I checked out on 1 January and its still for sale, it was €18,5000 then, with a story about an 86 year old previous owner who didn’t drive very much. Nothing wrong with UK cars but you can’t really check their story very easily.

€1300 is an exaggeration but any car betweem 2.4 litres and 2.5 will cost €899 for a years tax in Ireland. System is based purely on engine capacity, (until very recently where they've introduced a new rate based on emmissions for newer cars.

On the engine size system the tax goes up every 100cc. Always been a rip off. Big jumps upwards after 2 litres and again after 2,.5 litres. Over 3 litres and you're on a flat rate of €1,231.

Rip off Republic. In more ways than just car tax.

Is there any wonder why I am considering leaving the ML in Spain and having it Spanish registered - and the same for Mrs S's Land Rover?

 

[horgantrevor]
