That BMW 520 took a while to shift.

For those considering keeping the cars and importing into the south the new vrt import charges might be putting people off.

The cash draws go quickly.

If smart enough if it's coming from the north and was originally registered there or there is it 12 months from the mainland UK then no extras compared to bringing over the water.

Obviously VRT and Nox would apply.

My guess going on my dealings with them is that they would only offer you trade rate for your car which would be a lot less than what you would get selling it privately.

Selling a 25k+ car on UK plates privately is not easy, you'd be as well to take the easy option

I did, as I said before. 2 phone calls and a text and the money was in my account in 24 hours. Never saw the car after I went up to Newry for the winners photo.

I seen that a few days ago alright. Nice car for someone.

They reduced the price on the Focus RS too. A lot of their market must have been in the south I'd imagine. They might want to try the FDR approach as some of the VRT cash they offer doesnt even cover the VRT on the UK imports

Hey lads I did a competition with Wincar never did one with them before have done R kings a few times , but I wouldn't be using wincar again . With R Kings you get given random numbers and they make it so easy with an email straight away. Win car put up a link to a page full of entries from everyone you have to look for your own number.
Also if you buy say 3 tickets you expect to get 3 random numbers but you get what ever number is next on there list . Going through the list few people bought 10 entries so say they were first to pay for a ticket you will get number 1 all the way up to 10 not random numbers .

Would yous recommend any Irish competition pages that are good.

Good to know that you have a better chance of winning with 10 x non sequential numbers as opposed to sequential :rolleyes:

There’s definitely a very noticeable slowdown in cars shifting, another lovely m3 that’s taking days to sell out there now.
Can’t really see it changing unless they start putting good wads of cash with the cars to entice the southerners back.

McKinney competitions have a new Golf R up. Wonder how much vrt, vat and everything else it would cost to put it on the road here?

Was just about to ask the same question!! Presuming that it is unregistered, what would be the case?

And if it is registered, then how much would a person be expected to pay to get it registered in ROI since its less than 6 months old?

Either way it is going to be expensive...

Yeah I reckon about 20-25 grand to get on the road here.
Still a €65,000 car here.

So anyone that wins a car on the late late show has to pay vat on it?

McKinneys is in the North, you will be charged Southern Vat if the car is less than 6 months old and you live in the South

RKings have a Porsche Panamera Turbo up now. Beautiful car but again massive vrt bill to bring it in here.

And in contrast, anything with a 'southern reg' sells out fast.

That mazda has lasted a long time compared to the normal vintage yokes - what's the story there?

Modified, older Mazdas probably don't have as much of a following perhaps? That is a very niche car and would be harder to shift at the best of times when compared to a MkI or MkII Escort.

It's really old, rwd and turbo - in this climate of expensive old rwd jap cars - what's not to want ? :pac:

Now that booter, I could definitely have a go of that.

I’ve decided that I’ve had enough with these draws. I started doing the odd one and ended up doing far too many draws. I’m just bored and liked the distraction but there has to be a limit.
