    Isn't there a tax benefit, something to do with BIK, possibly needing to be taken advantage of before year end?

    So I say Executives OP.

    The Commercial Grant from the SEAI is gone from January (applications has to be in in October) so I would suspect that’s it.

    Yea but there going to lose that in value buying the 2019 model the 2020 has a few upgrades and downgrades oddly enough.
    Bonkers time of the year to register a car. Still a few waiting to register, probably going to be the most popular in December as well.

    There no bik advantage to registering now just the €3800 seai grant, it doesn't effect bik.

    It'll all falls to pieces in 2yrs if they scap the 50k exemption, as EV's with only ok range are so expensive, I think they should up the exemption to 150k and get people into old model s's that kind of thing. Your not going to get diesel guys into leafs.
