Hi. I kept the car here and paid the registration fee, looking at the resale value of the car here it was worth the money. Resale value meant the car is now worth enough to justify it. Also if you get tax exemption you ate not allowed to sell it or ... Read More

As far as I'm aware you can still apply for exception if you have owned the car for more than 2 years, this I believe is still the case as I met someone who had also gone down the same route. I understand your situation and we all make our own ... Read More

No worries, Sound like you've got it pretty bang on. You just pick the car up and you're away. The import company say you have to register within 20 days, TM say 30 but if you're paying the Registration tax this should be no problem as ... Read More
