Should I consider exporting my 2005 Porsche?
What's the value of a 2005 Porsche 911 Convertible 3.8 S manual - 55,000 miles? Should I consider export with VRT rebate or is this a difficult process?

How can I compare all the electric cars?
Hi,
Is there anywhere one can see all currently available electric cars compared, not just under the usual headings of driving range, charging times, 0 to 100km/h time and overall drivability and practicality, but also the overall running costs (electricity charges, road tax etc.), which can vary when you include battery lease models like the Renault Zoe?

Tell me about the 2012 Nissan Qashqai+2...
I am looking to buy a 2012 Nissan Qashqai+2 SVE petrol version; can you please let me know what are the spec differences between SV and SVE for the year 2012?
Does this model have timing chain or belt and what would be the replacement interval?
What would be the mpg on this particular model?
Thanks.

Can I trade my damaged Santa Fe in?
Hi,
My 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe was just written off by the insurance company. Car is still driving, with only some medium bumper damage. It has a bull bar up front and a tow bar out back. Another car rear-ended me. My car was up to date with tax, insurance and NCT all good. Will I qualify for a scrappage scheme? I'm thinking of getting a new Berlingo or Peugeot van.
Thank you

Any way around paying VRT on import?
Hi,
Could you please tell if there is a way of getting a car into Ireland from the UK without paying VRT? I am interested in bringing in a Peugeot 308 that seem to sell a lot cheaper and have smaller mileage in the UK. Say if I bought the car in Scotland and left it in my brother's house for six months or so (taxed and insured in my name), could I bring the car back to Ireland without paying the dreaded VRT?
Who is to say I wasn't using the car in the UK?
Thank you
