You would have to wonder do they think these things through at all as an imported car that set out on the road abroad on the same date as a similar one registered here could cost over 300 a year less to tax. Surely that will encourage more buyers to buy imported second hand diesel cars, affecting the existing market here at home.
new registrations or imports into Ireland after the 1st July 2008 will be subject to the new VRT and Road Tax schemes, in the case of imports this is the case irrespective of the date of orignal registration in the country of origin.
It seems a crazy situation, I'm very reluctant to go through with the deal now and I'm sure there must be many more purchasers in a similiar position.
I also have ordered a new car ,but have paid 500 euro deposit -so if I decide to wait ,I will lose deposit ?Does anybody know if dealer will return my deposit or what my rights are

Positives:
1/. Lower VRT come July. Hopefully passed on in full.
2/. Lower annual road tax .
Neagtives:
1/. Possibly reduced trade in allowance.
If your old car is good, and not a gas guzzler (these will plummet in value btw) I'd hold off for the sake of 6 months.
Dealer says that he will encounter stocking costs and says that he will have to recost my deal accordingly in addition to revaluing my car as it will be six months older in July.
