You can already buy a BYD Dolphin for under 20k?
Not that I think those Chinese cars are necessarily a good idea. Shame EU producers can’t hit these price points.
Honestly, something really does need to change with VRT because it makes no sense anymore.
Cars here are ridiculously expensive. Even the newer, cheaper and greener models are almost impossible to get because VRT pushes the prices up so much.
The Irish market is tiny, so most manufacturers do not bother sending in a full range of models. We are stuck with whatever limited selection they decide to offer, or we have to import something better from the UK and then get hammered with VRT on top of it.
There has to be some way to challenge this at an EU level. It feels completely at odds with the idea of a single market. Why should I be charged VRT for bringing in a car from Germany. And even though the UK is no longer in the EU, we still get hit with VRT despite the Windsor Framework and the Northern Ireland Protocol. On top of that, the Good Friday Agreement should at least limit or reduce the VAT burden.
I can’t seriously be the only person who’s tired of this BS and wants to actually do something about it.
…and they all look atrocious. The Irish car market…hell, the whole market, is a grift. Tax, fuel, insurance, vrt…a country of gougers.
Anybody notice this trend with Irish car newspaper reviews in recent years where the reviewer doesn’t actually seem to like cars?
