    Yeah that was a steal. How much you sell for Duke? Was also matte colour, but for different reasons :p

    I don’t remember to be honest - €800 I think?

    About a month later it appeared in Monaghan for €5k, haven’t seen it since :P

    spotted in Bray & Greystones over the weekend.
    Anyone care to hazard a guess at the age of the MG - 1950s? 60s?

    Had one of these for 6 months. What a car. There was only one way to drive it and my licence was in serious danger, so she had to go.
    Fcuk, she could go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 65,051 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    My late S2, fully original, was the same colour. Great car. Sad I had to let it go during that bastard of a recession. It sold a couple of years ago, the seller had tidied it up a tiny bit and put it through the NCT and sold it for 3 times what I got for it. Vintage of course at that stage with the €56 tax instead of the €1808 that I paid (over €2000 if you pay by the quarter). Worth many thousands more again now a few years later.

    I don't think the Pasha seats were available any more for the S4, so they are probably not original. That said, it would have been very hard to find an original 928 even 10 years ago.

    I was reading 99 and 96 as years and not Saabs. FFS.

    It’s on Donedeal at the minute.

    Those rub strips down the side just never look right to me!

    Linky

    177k miles and a bargain at €35k :p:p:p

    They've gone up in value, but not that much. Also it's a 1991 car, so safe to say this will never be legally on the road here in Ireland. Huge money to import it (massive VRT bill this year if you manage to bring it in on time, otherwise massive VAT bill next year)

    If I were the owner, I'd bring it back to the UK very quickly or start sweating profusely. Don't know how long he's had it, but that was a very silly buy to bring it over here

    Surely there's no rush on him bringing it back to the UK if it's UK registered though. All is not lost.

    He'll have to pay VAT and import duty bringing it back over there too next month :p

    Car was MOTd earlier this year, so the owner didn't bring it in that long ago. What a foolish thing to do though. Unless of course he reckoned he could find someone over here to offload it to. I guess someone like that was born every day...

    You might have to explain that one to me.
    If he takes it over on the ferry and sells it for cash, why would he need to pay VAT & Duty?

    "However, we cannot currently verify ownership of this vehicle in the UK."

    not buying that then!

    Haha, do you really want me to answer that? :D

    Of course if he pretends he never imported it into Ireland (or exported it again to the UK), then he is not going to pay any taxes and he will very likely get away with it. Unless stopped by an inquisitive customs officer of course.

    Went over to Ireland to see relatives and car broke down, had to trailer it back officer. Car is on yellow plates and would show up as a UK regd car. Can’t see a customs official taking too much heed of it tbh

    So the car is taxed and insured in your name registered to a UK address? And you would have no problem producing utility bills, bank statements, tax records, salary slips etc. in your name with a UK address? :p

    Like I said, you'd probably get away with it. Until you come across someone stopping you and asking some questions...

    What actual law do you think is being broken here that would warrant the Spanish Inquisition at the port? (which *nobody* expects)

    Next time someone asks me why I am blocking out reg plates, I'll cite the last two pages of debate! :pac:

    Lovely car but not €35k + VRT lovely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 942 ✭✭✭outfox


    Any idea what the VRT would be?
    The Revenue's online calculator doesn't include Porsche.

    I would go for the old bring it in on dec 31 and register on 1/1 approach.

    Sorry Unkel, I still don't agree here. The car was never officially imported as it's still on British plates. It's still a British car no matter which way you cut it.

    Does it not depend on how the previous change of ownership went? In this situation, if the current owner/seller bought the car in the UK to bring into Ireland, then the V5C would have been marked as being for export, so it would show up as exported on the system

    If this is the case, then I consider myself educated!
    Does that mean you don't get a replacement V5C issued in your name? Do they issue a different document that you bring to the NCT centre here to clear it?

    So when I brought my M3 in from the UK a few months ago, I kept the full V5C minus a section which the seller sent off to the DVLA marking it for export. So the V5C I had was in the sellers name. You bring the V5C to the NCT centre during the VRT appointment and then after paying VRT and paying for road tax, you get your Irish logbook.

    I just checked the old UK reg numebr and you can see its marked for export in the attached image
