Changing the speedo is a crippling cost and makes the whole deal not worth doing.Go to http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motorin...hicle/ImportingAndExportingAVehicle/index.htmIt is then just a matter of calling into any DVLA office with your downloaded forms where they are extremely helpful and the process is quite painless. It will only cost about £150 to import it and you will need to pay tax there and then before you can drive it legally. After 5 days or so you will get your Registration number which yo bring to any roadside cr accessory shop and they will make them in 10 mins.
I needed a certificate of conformity fo rmy car to prove it conforms to British standards. I also needed a new speedo as mine was in kph instead of mph.
What she could do is insure it in ireland on a pay monthly basis, arrange with them so that she is covered in england for a month or so and get it sorted then
You do.Also will probably need a UK MOT certificate before it can be registered with the DVLA
Also you need UK insurance before DVLA will using a number and tax disc.
What kind of car is it? Year/mileage? Your daughter will almost certainly get a better deal shopping over there unless you propose just giving her the car.
It is very difficult to sell a car in Ireland and as far as I can see, the prices are higher in the UK.
I don't think it's any more difficult to sell here. Prices are actually higer here than in the UK. But the base price for cars here is also a lot higer. You could buy a new Mini One in the UK for £12k/€14.5, here they start at €19k
Could I get a refund of part of my Vehicle Registration Tax if I re-register the car in the UK?.
It was announced that VRT would be refunded if a vehicle was exported.
I had a look at autotrader.co.uk again today and a similar car was priced on average at £5900 (€7600 at today's exchange rate at my bank). The best price that I was offered was €5900.
