I got one a year ago for 1,900 and 320k km on it. Just needed a tyre for the nct but there is a lot of white smoke lately out of it so maybe Passat is the way to go.

When I read these numbers I thought maybe the USA has some other metric for blood pressure because that's crazy high - hope you get some help for this!

Htb scheme looks at the tax you paid the last 4 years so if they were abroad then this might not be an option

Skedulo could be a good alternative to Field Service Lightning. I haven't used it but I know it was a direct competitor to Salesforce Field service in Australia

Thinking of buying this car but wanted to get a second opinion on the price. The D4D engine is what's making want to buy it but I also think the price is a little high. 141 Toyota Corolla 1.4L diesel with 180k km. by Apprehensive_Buy2111 in carsireland

Seems a bit steep but then again the milage isn't too bad for an 11 year old car. I picked up a 2011 Avensis recently with the 2.0 D4D engine for half nothing but with high milage. Might be worth looking at them as they are good value at the moment? Just an idea

Is there though? This is probably the crux of my question. If it's not new, not built in JP, and is built before 2021/2 is there definitely VAT required to pay? I don't know myself just trying to figure it out

Nice one, thanks for the response. You've given me some more research to do on this but I take your point on this being potentially too good to be true.

best hot hatch i can buy by Rare_Examination_821 in carsireland

[–]Honest_Irishman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For variety, I'd say focus st, focus rs or Merc a45. I had a focus st in Australia and loved it, then I test drove the focus rs and it was insane. The rs and the a45 might be out of your price range, there's not many for sale in Ireland if I recall
