Range Rover negotiating and OMSP query

JimmyMickey

Looking at 4.4 petrol Range Rover, 2004 with 100000 miles on the clock, dealer is asking €7000 for it, considering its gonna be what I would assume impossible to shift because of tax, what would be a realistic price to offer or get it for? Would 5k be an insult? In my opinion, something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it, and if it no one wants such a large petrol yoke, then I guess they can't be too fussy with price.! Regarding vrt, is the OMSP calculated by the vrt online calculator set in stone? If the online calculator says for example €10000 is the value, is that he price that set in stone for both claiming back vrt and paying it? Thank you

its ripe for a lpg conversion also dealer could export . just because its not an easy to sell vehicle doesn't mean a dealer will take silly money for it - he knows the market and what it owes him. no harm in asking but be prepared for him to laugh at you.

I'd actually be looking at it for export myself, I didn't realise that a dealer would be able to export it that easily?

If you can, why can't a dealer?

Cause it's a massive amount of hassle and wouldn't be easy for someone who isn't based in the UK

It's not really. In fact it's probably easier for a dealer as he may have contacts already in the uk to sell it to, as well as transporting the vehicle.

how do you argue the omsp if you feel the calculator is wrong?

Be careful of buying for export. There's are about of cars running around on irish plates than have no vrt refund available on them.
Cars that were brought in used by owner moving to ireland would not have vrt paid on them. Also cars that are bought on the disabled drivers scheme wouldn't have any vrt paid.
The vrt site figures should be accurate for anything over 4 years old. Newer stuff they will alter the price based on exact spec as presented.
There is a 500 quid charge against the vrt refund.

Revenue is always 'right'. You'll have to pay the VRT on the day and then open a dispute with Revenue. All I'd say is, the very best of luck.

You pay the figure first and then appeal after wards with proof of similar cars being sold for less.
