Can I import a car that's on finance?

I was working in UK and took finance on a car, and now I have an opportunity to move back to Ireland. Can I VRT the car here and re-register to Irish plates? I intend to continue to pay all finance owing monthly as I am doing.

Hi John,

It depends on the terms and conditions of the finance deal, but most of them would not allow that as you don't own the car until the final payment is made. You need to discuss the matter with the lender before making any decisions.
