Can I import a car with finance outstanding?

I want to import a car to Ireland that my son has in the UK. However, he still has finance outstanding in the UK, which he will continue to pay.

Can I import this car?

Hi Harry,

Yes, it’s up to you to sort out the outstanding finance with your son, but you should be aware that if for any reason he defaults on the payments, the finance company can recover the car without any recourse to you.
