I haven't looked at diesels in ages, so out of interest I thought I'd work out what it might look like to import something from the UK (in this case a 535d as there are virtually none here).

Based on the cheapest post-2008 one I can find on AT in the colour that I want (here: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-det...us=1500&page=1 ), my calculations are as follows:

Purchase price (in Euro at today's exchange rate): €8,065.23
VRT: €6,436 (NOx charge is €3,550)
VAT @ 23%: €1,855*
Customs Duty @ 10%: €806.50*
*I assume the VAT and Customs Duty are calculated on the purchase price before VRT?
Total: €17,162.73

Is this right? A circa £7k car costs €17k to bring into Ireland?
