    Anyone know the price to vrt a pug 205 1.9 gti, it's 1990, 123000 miles on the clock. I checked the website but the 1.9 gti doesn't come up.

    How can they get away with charging VRT on second hand cars bought in England. There I thought that we were in the EU with the free movement of goods. The Irish goverment is breaking EU law.

    Yep, I had to pay €900 for mine too. I/we/your friend should have done our homework first...

    They claim it is a classic/collectable but you cannot pay classic insurance/tax on it...

    Load of shoite!

    There's already a thread about it. No point talking about it on this thread as it would derail it.

    As far as I know, the emissions have nothing to do with the vrt on a car of this age.

    They're basing it on it being a classic. They deem all 205 GTi's to be worth €2700 and they want 1/3rd of that for vrt. It's the same with any classic. You get a nice old car in thats worth €30,000 and they'll be looking for €10,000 off you :eek:

    I'm not 100% on this tho so can be corrected.
