What to buy instead of a Lexus ES300?
I'm looking for a car similar to the Lexus ES300 but not a hybrid. The comfort and reliability are amazing, but it lacks the speed I'm looking for.

Any extra tax exporting a salvage car from NI to the UK?
Hi,
I'm buying a used salvage Volvo car from Northern Ireland and there's a 20 per cent VAT charge levied upon the sale. Will there be any other charges that I should be aware of when transporting the car to the UK?

What if a Northern Irish owner never properly registered the car?
Hey,
A car has come up for sale in the North but the owner did not register it in the North when he brought it over from GB - he lives in the north. If I bought it and brought it south, do I have to pay all the customs and VAT along with VRT or is it still just VRT?

Do Ford diesels have wet belts?
Does the 2022 Ford Puma Titanium Ecoblue diesel 1.5have a wet belt? I've heard Ford had a problem with these before. Also, can you tell me if wet belts were used in the 2015 Ford Fiesta TDCi Titanium diesel?

Can I export a car from England via NI to Spain?
Hello,
I want to buy a car from England in 2025 and I want to register the car in Northern Ireland and then I want to register it in Spain. Can I do that and not pay customs and VAT in 2025?
