Hi,
Anyone got any advice on this:
My Brother who lives in UK has a BMW320 CI convertible that I am considering buying from him. He is willing to sell it to me at a good price.
The Quote I got for the VRT was massive on this car and its making the deal out to be not so good.
I am considering giving him the money but keeping the car in his name (for a 1 year period.. using his old address in Dublin... ie telling the Tax man that he came back to live here and brought the car with him)
I know I can avoid the VRT if "he" keeps it here for 1 year without selling it, but I'm not so sure if I can get insured on this car if Its not in my name. My Brother is younger than me so the insurance will be more expensive if I just am a named driver on his policy.
Anyone got any ideas on the best way to do this?
