    Default Buying a car from UK

    Hi guys, where to be a better place to ask if not here where so many guys lol. I plan to buy a car from Northern Ireland as prices are better as u all know after sterling lost its power prices look better there for many things (plus they have more specifications comparing with here where many cars have just the basic things no navigation no nothing...)... and bring it in ireland ad register here. Now i have read online in Citizen information what i should do but still i would like to hear your experience what u done step by step when u bought a car from a dealer from UK. How u drove off the car from there?I dont have any insurance yet as i never had a car here( i do have one in my country on my car i have home but there is different and is doesn't matter here anyway i think) . Can someone else who is insured on his/her car to drive the car from uk i Ireland or need to be on the trailer, cant be driven off until registered and paid VRT? How is works? Thank you

    You normally get a few days to register the car and pay the dutiies . If you have a certain model in mind then enquire about how much the insurance is on that model. Most insurance companies will cover you with an english registered car providing you get it registered within a few days of bringing it to Ireland. It would probably best to pay someone independant to look the car over before you buy it.

    Give me details on the car and I check it for you, Mother bought the defender in the UK and she got the VRT all online, its only an estimate and she was charged extras at the centre for leather seats, a must for spills, and some other extras but she is really happy with it as would not get a cleaner one in Ireland

    I bought a car from England through a garage in cork and they imported it so it was fairly handy for me I didn’t have to do anything accept pay for the car. A friend of mine brought one in last year from Birmingham and it’s a great reliable car to drive
