Just a point to note. Both my sons recently bought cars from England (although they bought in Ireland with english reg) so hence vrt. Both were charged much more vrt than was recommended on site.
It's illegal to sell a UK registered car in Ireland...
dealers here sell UK registered cars, they simply ensure the car is registered in Ireland (and VRT paid) once sale is agreed and before the keys are handed over.
Link please Leo? Plenty of dealers here sell UK registered cars, they simply ensure the car is registered in Ireland (and VRT paid) once sale is agreed and before the keys are handed over. I think you are talking about someone selling a UK registered car without registering it in Ireland first but I don't think that is what Meath Lady was describing.
What you describe there is fine, the original importer registers and VRTs the car (the law says they must register to do this within 7 days of the vehicle's arrival in the state). The purchaser drives off the forecourt with an Irish registered car, so all is good.
MeathLady described her two sons buying cars with UK plates, then registering for VRT themselves (otherwise how could they appeal the VRT amount?)
