Usedcarsni.com.
Tbh probably not a lot of savings for 05-07 cars. Looked bit myself. Good deals in south for cars pre "chape tax" so worth looking down here.

No difference in tax 08 on in north so better savings on these.

What are you looking for?

So if I brought an 08 down south and re-registered it, it would not fall into the 'greener Tax' catergory i.e. from 08 on??

It will but it doesn't mean it will be cheaper than the old tax system, it depends on the Co2 rating of the car in question.

Noty sure about this. If u have a Co2 cert then it should apply.

It would. My point is that you will get better savings up north on a 08+ car than on an 07 car.

Can you suffer an increased VRT charge though for extras?

Only on cars 4years old or newer. the newer the car the more they charge (info on Revenue's VRT site).
