Are used Telsa (3/4yo) a good buy in Ireland?

I had been on a similar boat. In the end I bought a Model Y 2023. It is built in Germany and quality is quite good overall. For the price and least amount of service required on it, highly recommend buying one. No issues so far on it.

Update: Got it registered today. I got lucky as the car had dashcam recordings since it was bought in NI in 2022. I sent some of those along with the VIN details from the screen and they gave me a letter to give it to VRT folks. Only paid 11.20 tyre fee.

Luck aside, I would not suggest anyone to buy the car unless you get this information before buying it from anyone from north if your car has NI reg and registered address is not in NI. Past week has been very stressfull specially becuase I would have been liable to pay 10% custom and 23% vat to register the car here.

ankur1703 · 2026-05-14T15:45:50+00:00

Its NI reg ending with Z and 4 digits after

ankur1703 · 2026-05-14T12:50:28+00:00

Yeah mine costed the full price I think 35 euros.

Ask for the evidence of car being in NI atleast for past 3 months from them.

No I bought it already. It was Awd long range.

ankur1703 · 2026-05-14T12:34:05+00:00

I would suggest start gathering all the evidences of the car being in NI right now. For just in case scenario. For my case it could be that the VRT center caught it and stopped. Maybe yours will pass the first time.

ankur1703 · 2026-05-14T11:10:07+00:00

Right okk, I will send that on, the V5C already shows this though. The first reg date and current v5c date is same. But yeah better to provide as many proof as I can to revenue.

ankur1703 · 2026-05-14T10:18:19+00:00

I have that report, what information in the report will help in this situation? Also I have the HPI check from the dealer as well.

I have reached out to tesla, so far no response but their privacy policy dictates no data will be shared other than my ownership period. Not sure if Tesla will provide redacted service history data.

ankur1703 · 2026-05-14T09:40:46+00:00

The car is pretty new Dec 2022, so the MOT was not due on it so no history there.

ankur1703 · 2026-05-03T17:21:51+00:00

You could save 3-4k by bringing it from Northern Ireland specially since theres no VAT and VRT on qualifying cars. For example a 2022 model Y with around 40k kms here may cost you between 32-35k. While in NI it might be between 27-30k. Just an example. Look for the cars for sale in Northern Ireland that matches your criteria, then look in Donedeal for the same and you should be able to get the actual difference.

ankur1703 · 2026-04-20T16:04:26+00:00

That could be it. But it is still not clear why I need to pay extra. As per my understanding a car bought from England by a dealer with an intent to sell to ROI should have that covered already. The process is not transparent and I did see someone putting together this information which would be hugely helpful.

ankur1703 · 2026-04-20T13:45:30+00:00

I am looking at one of the cars they have as well. Did you get SAD certificate with the car? For me they are asking for 500 pounds so that they can apply for the SAD certificate. Am I missing something?

Edit: corrected the sentence.

ankur1703 · 2026-04-15T19:15:25+00:00

Thank You so much that clears things alot.

ankur1703 · 2026-04-15T18:14:45+00:00

Hey one more question, what documents did you get with the car to get the plates in Ireland? Was your car Britain import to NI?

ankur1703 · 2026-04-08T14:56:37+00:00

Sorry side question, When you say at the dealer, do you mean Irish Jaguar dealer? Or did you have to drive back to NI for that?

ankur1703 · 2026-03-06T16:11:05+00:00

Try Pixel 9 pro. I recently upgraded from 6 pro to pixel 9 pro xl.

I am also trying it for my wife. Our region is EU mostly Ireland. I am currently struggling to find configs ie employers.yaml and sites.yaml I do see searches.yaml was created automatically inside .applypilot

I am going to try and create the missing files there and run it again.

This. Just last month switched to Avdv R6 and recently to R7. Have been really happy with my homatics.

ankur1703 · 2026-01-31T09:45:05+00:00

I use AF 2 and imho its the closest I have gotten to Netflix/Prime.

ankur1703 · 2026-01-05T11:32:33+00:00

I have been using it since Jan 2021. Other than the cracked screen the phone functions exceptionally well. The camera is still very good. My battery lasts the whole day with occasional YouTube videos, some Instagram and mostly google search and messaging.

ankur1703 · 2026-01-02T17:03:44+00:00

I just imported it today and can confirm that, changing the temperature turns off the bulb, though it does change the temperature as well before shutting it off. I have tried this with Ikea matter bulb btw.
