Amarok, Ranger or Navara pick-up?
Hi there, hoping you can guide me in the right direction as I am torn between the VW Amarok, Ranger and the Nissan NP 300. I wont be using it for construction just merely for leisurely use so efficiency will have a part to play in my decision.
Looking for your advice.
Regards,
Ronan

How much to tax a Toyota Hilux 3.0?
Hi,
I'm an approved seasonal none VAT-registered angling guide with the tourist board and need to upgrade from my old commercial L200 pick-up truck and was thinking of buying an 06 Vigo Toyota Hilux 3.0, UK-plated. But I hear it is now very difficult to get commercial tax and if I tax it privately what would it cost plus the duty?
Thanks.

VRT on MPV converted to camper?
Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 15-year-old second hand MPV with a wheelchair ramp for converting to a camper. It is J1 "A" VRT vehicle category and M1 EU classification. Will there be VRT payable on the conversion or is it ok if already classified as J1"A"?
Thanks for any advice you can give

How much to privately tax an Amarok?
How much is the private road tax on a 2.0-litre version of the Amarok? I’ve seen €660, €750 and €1,200 online? Is it based on the CO2 or engine size?

A Toyota a replace my Skoda Superb with?
Hi,
I currently have a Skoda Superb estate, which I find handy for the occasional bulky load. I was thinking of probably changing it for a similar model (having daydreamed of more exotic cars like a Ford Raptor - I'm just not willing to pay the annual road tax). However, there is a view out there that the most reliable cars are Toyotas. Is there a Toyota that would come close to to the Superb estate in terms of load capacity?
Thanks

With €11k budget, I'd like a modern small car.
Hi, planning to buy a small hatchback petrol/hybrid car (1.0-1.4-litre) where annual mileage will be approx. 8,000km-10,000km including motorway. Budget is €8,000-€11,000 but looking for a used car with near today level technology, dependable engine and impressive economy. Could you please give me top five models that may fit the bill? I don't mind the make and model but road tax shall not be more than €270.
Thanks in advance

Can I privately run a commercial car van?
Your article on Commercial Vehicles for private use focuses on large commercial vehicles. In my case, I'm just looking for a very inexpensive car e.g. a 2017 SEAT Ibiza with the back seats removed that is currently classified as a Commercial Vehicle and taxed and registered as such. However, I'm wondering if I could insure, tax and register it as a private vehicle? What would I have to do in order to do so?
Thanks, Maria
