Importing this Audi

Rainmann

I am weighing up if it is worth importing a car from NI or just buying within the Republic, does anyone have experience and is it worth it?

I have been looking at this Audi, but don't have the reg so not too sure how much it will be to import with VRT etc, does anyone have an idea of what the cost might look like? - https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/audi-a5-2-0-tdi-177-s-line-5drjust-in-from-england/27891266

Why would you bother, they are two a penny here. Not worth the hassle to bother importing.

It's also absolutely rotten with the blacked out bits.

15k GBP so probably 23k euro with vrt for a 6 year old car.. plus Vat if it needs it which it probably will. How is that car even worth about 18k euro to your door is beyond me , it's 6 years old..

Seems to be an English import so probably VAT due on it as well.

Yes UK import so 10% customs and 23% VAT

VRT can be calculated here:

14.5k sterling for a 6 year old diesel A5 is comical. Like many Northern garages they have stuck a set of oversized replica alloy wheels on it and then tell you in the description that they are optional costing extra.

You will have to add the Nox charge (it will be high if that engine is pre Euro6 rated) along with potentially VAT and 10% duty on top of that price as it's just in from the UK. You could be looking at low to mid 20k for that.

The alloys are an extra 1000 too.
Nice car, just overpriced. A Polish work colleague of mine brought a 2017 down for 26k only 2 weeks ago, which is the current model.
