    Mazda doing a recall apparently.

    Built up of soot causing engines to stall.

    Cars between 2012 and 2018 affected.

    Wonder what changes they made after 2018 to not necessitate a recall of 2019.

    Tbh about the whole importing thing

    It's really nox tax that killed it for me. I recalculated that if I were to import my car again today it would be an additional €3,400 on top of the VRT price which would be nearly twice what I paid for the car itself ! So to add vat or tax or later in the year is just Overkill.

    I think they're a few people in similar circumstances to be, very decent cars full of spec that are about 6-8 years old now cost too much to import

    But also not enough cash to buy very new for low Nox tax !

    But anyway that's my 2c.

    For cars here I don't think price will go up

    In regards to NI , sure we might get away with it there but anytime I've looked for a UK car the North didn't have anything to offer me personally

    Volvo D5 engine

    It seems to be any engine before euro 6 or euro 5 is getting heavily taxed

    Jesus Christ.

    I was speaking to someone recently who bought a Passat at the end of last year, couldn't get a vrt appointment until mid January I presume due to this nox charge coming in. They were unaware of implications on car they were bringing over, and it made it pointless. Had to then get rid and buy another car that fits the rules better.

    Crazy how the goal posts can move so quickly. My own car just checked is 2.5k. Probably would have put me off bringing it over on the principal, which is what they want in the end. I presume there is no such thing as a nox rebate on export?

    It's an absolute shambles. Even today if you use the vrt calculator it doesn't include NOX tax.

    I'm not sure about any rebate on export for nox but I doubt it knowing this country

    If it’s a dealer that has a ROS account then you can get around it.

    Ehm, do you not see the correlation between the high depreciation / low used car prices here and the availability of cheap used cars from the UK?




    I wish I had so few worries in life that a slightly different type of cruise control function was enough to make me go writing paragraphs on an internet forum then snarl about people being concerned about future prices. Unfortunately for me - I do have to worry about a few grand.

    I see the correlation hence why I said prices will go up on secondhand cars. However nobody truly knows by how much but assuming the prices of new cars will remain fixed then there will always be depreciation for used cars hence a price drop. My point is it’s not going to be the difference between people owning cars and not. You may have to buy a car a couple of years older for the same price if budget is limited that’s about the extent of it. It won’t make or break anyone to own a slightly older car or hang onto the car you have for longer.

    Paragraphs about cruise control I simply said I don’t like adaptive cruise control someone asked me why and I went onto explain why that’s about the extent of it. It is a motor forum we often talk about things we like / don’t like about cars.

    How do people check if a car is currently taxed and NCT'd? Just want to run a few old reg plates of cars I've owned in the past.

    NCT site tells me one expired last year and won't do anything with the second reg (I assume it's scrapped then)

    Lads, does anyone know if Ford Fiesta ST3 comes with performance pack as standard now? I don't see it as extra anymore in configurator.

    Vrt question,

    Just looking at a 4 year old plug in hybrid (not for me) in the UK. Vrt website says vrt owed would be just over 4k.

    I then read that there is a rebate on vrt from this site.

    Is it as simple as paying the 4k then claiming back that it's a phev and they refund you 1500?

    VRT.ie isn’t an official site, and they say that ended 31/12/19

    Cheers Colm,

    But revenue site is same idea....

    https://www.revenue.ie/en/importing-vehicles-duty-free-allowances/guide-to-vrt/calculating-vrt/electric-and-hybrid-vehicles.aspx


    The vehicle has a lower co2 than needed to meet the refund.

    Does that figure of the refund then come off the vrt? I presume it hasn't already been deducted on the vrt calculation.

    Just want to be sure.

    Thanks

    I think it’s included.


    Here’s an example of an outlander.

    20k OMSP, 14% VRT but only €1k VRT
    €1500 gone off there.

    The rebate should be included in the VRT calculator figure. The rebate reduces in coloration to the age of the car.

    No, it doesn’t work like that. The deduction is already included in the vrt. Theres no refunds or claiming anything back.

    Put in the car details below and this is the vrt you will pay including the plug in hybrid deduction.

    Cheers folks,

    Makes sense now, the vrt rate is 14% and based on revenues value of the car that works out around 6k. So the 4k vrt includes the rebate as said, it just wasn't that clear.

    The car is an XC90 t8 by the way.

    £26 which is €30,500 and then the 4.5ish vrt so 35 landed.

    Thanks

    That's a good saving over one here, the cheapest one here is asking 41k and that's got 95k miles on the clock and 4 years old.

    Got the Sorento it's 3rd service recently, oil, air, fuel and pollen filters along with oil and the 60k kms checks etc etc etc ......... €360 which I thought was quite reasonable all considered.

    Went for the nexan nfera ru1 again, not a great brand of course but I found the last set great and the nfera ru1 are OE on Porsche Macan as well as the Sorento so I didn't think it necessary to chance anything else.

    Am really happy with the thing. Fingers crossed the next 60k kms is as troublefree.
