I imported a car from Japan and need help...
Hello,
I got a 1999 Toyota Cresta 2.0 auto petrol in from Japan in November. I went to the VRT/NCT office to get the reg and, as I was missing one document, was told to come back after Xmas. Nobody said anything about the NOx charge coming in 2020...
So now I have to pay this charge even though I have the NOx/CO2 numbers for the car from the seller in Japan. Also, the VRT came in at €5,500; this a crazy price for a 1999 car - Revenue thinks the car is worth €20,000 and it's actually only worth €4,000 or €5,000 at most; I cannot pay this amount so what can I do?

Is the NOx tax in place for used diesel car?
Hi,
Is the new 2020 NOx in place for imported used diesel cars yet? And if so where do I get definitive NOx rating for a Ford Mondeo 2.0 Titanium TDCi 148bhp estate? If not, is there a start date?
Thank you

Will an imported Rifter be under warranty?
Buying a used Peugeot Rifter in the UK. Reading online that warranty will not be honoured here in Ireland. Is this true or how can I find out?

Are EV range figures based on 100% battery?
Hi,
All the articles I read say that electric car batteries should only be charged to 80/85 per cent. Are the published range figures based on 100 per cent or 80 per cent charging?
Thanks, Philip
PS: For me, electric cars will only become realistic when they have a real world range of 600km.
