A friend is going over to ireland to buy a car from a dealer over there.

What sort of expenditure will he be faced with when bringing the car back into the uk....vat/tax/etc

Stu,

New or used ?

I got a used car from Dublin and as long as the VAT/duty has been paid, you are liable for the ferry, flight and temporary registration (£350 total).

The car then has to have a MPH speedo and rear fog light, be MOT'd and registered with UK license plates (no special costs involved beyond speedo dial @ £20).

I got mine from A&F Imports and had no problems -

 

I have a document on Importing Cars From Ireland. Can't remember which web site I got it from. It contains guidelines, guideprices (not Impreza unfortunately) and dealer contacts etc (Subaru included).

Mail me if you want me to send it to you.

I looked into this a while back from memory all he will have to pay is VAT at 17.5% and his road tax, I vaguely remember of another small charge but I can't remember for what

I've found the web site I'd forgotten.
Lots of info about car importing there and you can get the importing from Ireland doc there.
