VRT has gone up?

Cars&cars

Hi

anyone else notice a hike in VRT recently

last week printed off a vrt quote for an 08 BMW 5-series, around €3500, kept the print out, OMSP of €22,000

go to get the car today, VRT is €3900 based on nearly €24000 OMSP

Have we not reached a time when the Irish people stopped getting ripped off !

could be a case of supply and demand.
theres a good shortage of good 2008,2009 second hand cars out there for sale at the moment and currently keeping the prices of the good ones high.

if you have a clean, straight FSH 08 BMW or similar, you can afford to wait for the right buyer now and not take the first offer that comes at you

VRT hasnt gone up, the percentage is still the exact same...

according to OPs post, the OMSP has risen... not the VRT rate

opinion guy

A question worth asking here is: who determines the OMSP ?

Just checked something I've been keeping an eye on and the VRT quote for a 2009 registration has decreased slightly since Jan but the quote for a 2010 reg has increased.

I think it is based on data supplied by the SIMI to Revenue.

I'd love to know! I remember checking a few cars last year and if it had actually been possible to buy them in Ireland for the quoted omsp I would have been delighted!

Unless OMSP is minus VRT?

I know, but they raise the OMSP to make more money when they feel like it, or as was said, the demand for a particular model goes up.

Didnt some one here that knows their stuff say that the more enquiries that are made for a particular model of car the more the OMSP goes up. I remember it was said in another thread.

People say that all the time on here - I still don't believe it

Just had another look there at several variants of a model I'm keeping a watch on. For a 09 reg, all have had their VRT quote drop 0.95% since Jan. For 2010 reg, all have gone up 4% since Jan.

I wonder could it be anything to do with Revenue advertising recently for advice on a new computerised 'real time' OMSP system?

But is that not correct - if demand for a model increases, surely its selling price (i.e. OMSP) will too?

Often seen it said here, never with evidence. Reckon it's a crock of **** TBH.

Print off pages from car sites with 08 5 series and appeal it if they are less then the quoted OMSP.
