Or did I read the site wrong ?

Depends on the emissions:

CO2 Emissions (g CO2/km)	VRT Rates	Minimum VRT
0 - 120g	14% of OMSP	€280
121 - 140g	16% of OMSP	€320
141 - 155g	20% of OMSP	€400
156 - 170g	24% of OMSP	€480
171 - 190g	28% of OMSP	€560
191 - 225g	32% of OMSP	€640
226g and over	36% of OMSP	€720

Ah, emissions..........nothing I'd buy would be that low down the scale!!

but this line is interesting, and must be up for a challenge For each rate the limit reflects a car with a value of approximately €2,000 from here: http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/vrt/faq...html#section24

....isn't that rigging of the system ?

Consider: go to DoneDeal, search for cars under, say..........1k. If you find your desired one, then, surely the OMSP is 'false' and could be challenged ??
