€4375 on nox tax and c. €1300 on VRT. It's an absolute pisstake.
I'm beginning to resign myself to the idea of one of the two Honda Hybrids. The CRZ is a bit more interesting and has a bit of boy-racer JDM potential (I've never gotten around to scratching my JDM itch) but the Jazz would obviously be more practical for slinging bikes and bass guitar and amps in the back...I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before they tax all of the cheaper but less efficient cars off the road (Category A in my original post) too which is making me think a hybrid thingy would be a safer bet...
Man that is bad craic. As you said yourself I wouldn't hold out massive hope for any sort of flexibility from Revenue, they are stubborn arseholes even in instances that are unequivocally their fault.
Second hand cars in Ireland are sooooo shit.
Out of curiosity how does that €5500 break down between the nox tax and VRT?
