    Hi
    I am thinking of buying a 205gti on a english plate but the vrt calculator does not have it on a list. Can you call and get a qoute before i buy the car?
    Has anyone VRT a 205 gti 1.6 recently.
    I have worked out it uses 175g of co2/km so i think the min VRT is 560 euro ( the car is not costing that much).

    Ring Rosslare. You may get a shock though - if they classify it as a classic.

    The minimum VRT they can charge is €720.

    Also, the price you get on the phone is not the final price - they can up it or lower it on the day at the VRT office. Rough the car up the day you go in and you might get lucky.

    I paid the minimum in September though I was given a quote of €990.
    I brought my 1yr old daugher though, and got a nice lady at the counter. ;)

    And don't forget to get the FULL V5 document from the vendor or you'll be waiting months for paperwork.

    paid my blood money, 900 euro.
    i have all the paper work to prove its co2 was 175g/km but and i quote, " its a gti thats a different kettle of fish". How can they charge 900 euro when they are only selling for 1200 euro bets me.

    Do what I did, send them a copy of the invoice for the car showing what you paid, also go to a main peugeot dealer and get a quote for the value of the car. send them both to rosslare and sit back and wait about 3mts, Also document the VRT you believed should have been paid and what your looking for them to reimburse you.
    It worked for me, I got nearly 3000 back on VRT I paid of 5,500 when I did the above.
