the way you would go would also depend on the emmissions of the new vehicle - If you register before hand then you will pay the current road tax, if after the road tax you pay will depend on below:

Band A (under 120 grams per km) - €100.
Band B (121-140 grams per km) - €150.
Band C (141-155 grams per km) - € 290.
Band D (156-170 grams per km) - €430.
Band E (171-190 grams per km) - € 600.
Band F (191-225 grams per km) - €1,000.
Band G, the top band - €2,000, reflecting CO2 emissions of over 225grams per km


Log on to this site to see the how many grams per Km your new car will emit.
