    You get the WHOLE thing off them. Do not send it away over there. Bring it back to Ireland.

    You need to explain to the seller that irish tax office will de-register it with Swansea.

    If they post it off, you are in for a world of hurt. Just get a receipt to show you paid for it and when. Just dont act the bollix and get any tickets on the way to the ferry which will automatically go to the seller.

    The DVLA is will not transfer ownership to a non UK resident.

    Point the UK seller to this information - https://www.gov.uk/taking-vehicles-out-of-uk

    If they don't play ball then walk away as you will not be able to register the car in Ireland without the car's V5C.
