MrMartinGrant Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 i'm just thinking, strange that you bought a car from here because it's usually the other way around lol cars are usually alot cheaper over there, than what we pay here. Good luck with your new Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Dont you have to pay tax on the car if its on o'irish plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic-39 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Us guys here in Northern Ireland are part of the uk so same rules apply Being back and forward across the "pond" quite abit i see quite a lot of cars from here being moved from here to the "mainland" Hope it all goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy86 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Got to the airport and didnt get the car in the end!! Turned out the Guy had outstanding finance on it, and also had 3 previous owners instead of 1 which he said in his add on Autotrader. This was for a 55 plate with 25000 miles seemed a bit dodgy to me!! So walked away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartinGrant Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 ahh no, not good seriously do people not think that when the buyer hears the truth, they would not walk away, what a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybird Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Perhaps best to walk away and dont be too down hearted. You might find one in a better condition or cheaper etc now that you are searching again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
