Do I pay UK VAT when importing a car?
If I am buying a car in the UK to bring to Ireland (taking it through VRT on entry) do I still have to pay the UK VAT on the price of the car?

Is there a club in Ireland for classic BMWs?
What club or association is there in Ireland for owners of classic BMW cars, and I mean vehicles 30 or more years old? Four years ago I met a chap in Mondello [at Mondello Live Sunday] who claimed to be a club for such people, and I do mean he, on his own, not a group. I have forgotten or lost his name but have not seen or heard of him or any events being held since.

Which large MPV to go for?
Hi, I'm looking for a seven-seater with a large boot. We have been looking at the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life, but don't know too much about them except they seem to fit our needs and price range (3/4 years old). Am I missing any other people carriers because I've been focusing on boot space?

Is the Mercedes-Benz M-Class a good buy?
I'm a retired driver with full no claims insurance bonus. I'm looking for a reliable, comfortable and high end car or SUV with about 100,000 miles on the clock plus room for golf clubs and a folding trolley in the boot. I like SUVs because I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get out of cars that are lower on the road (have an older E -Class Merc at the moment). A car that would still look well in about five years' time appeals to me. Can you please advise if a 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML 280 would be a good buy?

Would a dealer buy my 2015 Audi A6 for cash?
Hi,
I need some advice if possible please. I have a 2015 Audi A6 auto ultra 190hp. I need to free up some cash and also want to keep my savings. I would like to inquire if there are any car dealerships that would buy my car and if they would how much could I expect to get for it?
Thanks.
