I need a bigger boot for a budget of €20,000...
Hi,
I recently had a change of job, so I need a vehicle with more boot space. I currently drive a 182 Ford Focus. I do over 20,000km a year. I was wondering what vehicle, be it an estate or MPV/SUV you would recommend I look at for a budget of around €20,000?
Thanks
Gary

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?
