Is it me, or...........
What is it with car prices in Ireland. I need to change my car, so I did a little check on the net.
If I want to buy a 1.4L Ford Focus, in Ireland I'm looking at €19500 approx. Now here's the piece I can't understand...... The same car in the UK, not too far away, costs £8940, which equates roughly to €14900. How can this be the situation for pretty much the same car?? And here's the killer. If I decide to go to the UK and buy the car there, and bring it to Ireland, the Government will charge me pretty much anything I've saved in Vehicle registration tax for the pleasure of bringing the car into the country. Free European market my ass! ........
