Need Advice

    Hypothetically, if a person was in possession of a 1989 UK reg car (body work and interior flawless) in Ireland, but it needed a full service (although had only been fully serviced about 5 years ago before its owner passed away whilst visiting), was not insured and has no right to be on an irish road in essence (no tax, vrt, NCT etc..)

    if the owner left it to someone (its an excellent car) and they wanted to sell it what advice would you give someone in order to maximise the price?

    any help would be greatly appreciated guys

    just pop into your local NCT centre and talk to the VRT guys and they will help you re clearing it

    Firstly and Irish resident is not legally allowed to drive a foreign registered vehicle and strictly speaking he/she is not allowed to sell same. It should be VRT's first.

    If you can prove you inherited a non-state vehicle, you should be able to claim exemption from paying VRT.

    I'm not sure this is correct. But unfortunately theres nothing verifying proof of inheritance.

    its not being driven around. Its in dry storage. Surely theres an option to sell it to someone in the UK without paying VRT?

    Ok, it's nearly correct, I should of course add the caveat "from the estate of a non-resident" :o (source: Revenue.ie VRT FAQs)

    Put it up for sale here carandclassic.co.uk
    and list the country as Ireland , you might get a UK buyer to come and see it.

    its free.

    carandclassic.co.uk

    It might be worth more over there than here ... what is it hypothetically speaking .
