I moved from NI to RoI about 6 years ago, and had to pay the VRT on my own car as it was off the road for about 3 months before I moved down and the rules said it had to be road worthy and on the road in NI for the previous 6 months to get it free.

Didn't mind too much as it wasn't a great sum of money as the car is very old and its value was low.

Now I am considering buying a secondhand car and can't stomach the prices of cars in RoI !! Is there any way I can get a 2nd car transferred over free considering I have never availed of this before?

If so I could then buy a NI car much cheaper.
 
What about buying an LPG car?

Is there any reduction in VRT for this compared to petrol/diesel, considering they are meant to be slightly better for the environment.

Yeah you see thats why I thought there might have been a loophole I could have sneaked through, because I would still get correspondence to my old address - my parents still live there. I would not have utility bills but would have stuff like bank account statements, credit cards bills, life assurance, pension statements etc.

Problem is I am already on their systems from way back when I first paid to take my car over, so they would know that I am not just moving down to RoI now.

Damn.
