Hi,

I am considering importing a car from the UK. It was originally bought in Ireland in Nov/Dec 2002 but was not registered here. It was then exported to the UK where it was registered as new in April 2003. Does anyone know if it would get a 2002 or 2003 reg plate as this would have implications to the sell on value in a couple of years. I presume i need to pay VRT as this would not have been paid when it ws first bought.
 
The car would be a 2003 so, assuming the vehicle was first registered (ever, in any country) in 2003. Many new cars lie in stock unregistered over the new year. They still get registered to the first owner on the date, and hence year purchased by the customer through the dealer.

You will however have to pay the VRT at the current market value of a 2003 registered car.

It is unusual however that you would find out that the car was in stock in Ireland unregistered in 2002. How was this?
