Can I avoid a late VRT payment fee?
Hi there,
I recently bought a new car at a British auction without V5c. Had to send a V62 form and pay £25 for new logbook. Due to COVID it has taken DVLA longer than usual to reissue the logbook. If I present the proof such as the date the last logbook has been issued, will I avoid paying late VRT payment?

What's my 2013 VW Scirocco worth?
Hi guys,
I want to sell my 2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TSI GT DSG with 48,000 miles on the clock. Volkswagen offered me €10,500, but obviously it’s worth more than that to a private seller. Imported from UK and I need to sell for best price as the money will go towards my next car. I’m looking to find out how much it’s worth so I’m not under-selling - I’d rather overprice it. Ideally wouldn’t sell private as I’ve had a nightmare in the past with idiots trying to rip me off.

Thinking of getting a newer Hyundai Tucson...
Hi all,
I’m a big fan of the Tucson and have a 161 model. With the third edition coming out for 211, I would love to get a 201 Premium with the panoramic sunroof etc. Will the arrival of the new model lead to much of a drop in the premium 201 model used price?
Also, it seems they’re plentiful in the UK. How can I best trade in my 161 against a UK Tucson Premium and is it worth the hassle to look to the UK at all?
Thanks!

Is a previously N1 Touareg this costly to tax?
Hi,
T have a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg that is registered as N1 and I want to change it to M1 and I can, but they tell me that because it was N1 when first registered that my car tax will still be on engine size not CO2, so I will have to pay €1,500 when an identical car can be taxed for €750. I would be grateful for any advice you can give me on this.

Is this tax on a 2014 Berlingo van right?
We have a 1,500cc Berlingo van for social and domestic use. It is 2014. We have been charged €514 to tax it. Surely this cannot be right?
Thank you
