VRT on uk registered 180sx

[LarZ]

What's the VRT on a UK registered 180sx these days?

[Dave]

Same as a standard 180sx coming from Japan. Been through this process on my mx5.

You sure about that? Your mx5 was a jap car VRTed in the UK and then imported to ireland yeah? Still don't know how much though

[Dave]

yeah was a Eunos imported to UK in 2008, had to pay the same VRT as a standard jap import. Been through it a month ago.

Edit I checked for a PS13 2 months ago and it was €790, would have been the same as that. Its taken off the vrt site now. They are probably changing the price now due to more imports coming in, exact same as what happened Mossyhenry with his R32 on here.

Pretty sure there is no UK vrt
Hence any import to Ireland having to pay it regardless of country of origin/ initial registration
Check out exporting Irish cars that we paid vrt on
I get at least 2k to export my M3 !!

[Dave]

Nope no vrt in the uk. Their registration is a £55 admin fee, then their vat and import duty same as here.

Do they value the car based on condition? Or just the model and engine size?

[Dave]

It used to be model and engine size anyway. I would pm mossyhenry as he got his r32 when they took the skyline off the vrt site. He could tell you what they considered to get the value.

a 180sx is in and around 850 -900 to vrt .

regardless of condition? That's roughly what i've budgeted but don't want to go spending money making it look good it it will increase the VRT.
