Is the Toyota RAV4 worth the price?
Hi,
I want to trade in my 2008 Ford Focus diesel for a new or nearly new car. I really like the SUV style. I drive at least 1,000km per week to and from work so I need something that's reliable, will hold its value and able for big mileage. I really like the Toyota RAV4, but is it worth the price?
What car would you suggest?

What happens with a late registration?
This is my supplementary question to Neil Briscoe regarding VRT on classic cars. Thank you for following up Neil. Regarding the fact that the car in question has been in Ireland since 2006 without being registered, will this mean that a surcharge will apply on registering the car now due to the lateness of that registration?
Many thanks again
James
