    Hi all

    So basically.. Am buying a jeep in England. Sportage to be exact. Only a 2012.. Did the vrt and they are looking for just under 8k. The car is costing 7 thousand pounds.

    Is this not extreme? It's not like its brand new. The guy I spoke to today said thats the price..

    I've already booked the ferry and paid deposit on it. When I checked it last month the vrt was coming in at 2355 euros.

    Guy was very unhelpful. He basically said tough sh×t..

    It's a 1.7 diesel.. No xtras really. Basic. Its not like the 2litre sport edition.

    What do you mean you ‘did the vrt’? Did you do an online calculation or did you actually present the car for a VRT appointment? It sounds like you don’t even have the car yet so I assume you just done an online calculation.

    You probably didn’t enter the Nox amount which will add €4,850 to the VRT calculation.

    Btw your gonna get screwed importing a 2012 diesel

    Why would you buy an 8 year old car in the uk. There's feck all savings and getting to the stage where you are spending on repairs.

    Between vrt and nox, I reckon you'll be way over the top price you'd pay here

    Those old cars have high emmissions and the government announced they would increase the VRT. You are better off trying to get out of the deal.

    Nitrous oxide. Poison from emissions basically, penalises older diesels heavily on import.

    This was all over the news after the last budget.

    From Jan 2020 old diesels are penalised on their pollutants (NOX) over and above the typical VRT.

    This is why I think u were being smart.. I stated at the start I don't know about this. I'm looking for advice. I've looked at the picture. I posted the picture and couldn't understand it

    You could have replied explaining what it meant if u knew what it meant.. No need to say picture is right there.

    I didn't ask how I was being smart?

    You will have to buy a euro6 diesel or petrol of any gen... Max charge on petrol is €600 Nox tax.

    The max is just shy of €5k on a dirty diesels....

    They don't want you to bring in anything euro5 or less as they are extremely bad to our health.
