There are two on here that I have seen. Are there many more? If I could find one for sale in Ireland what could I expect to have to pay for it?

Obviously there are quite a few in europe and the Uk but what would the VRT be?

Cheers
Dusty

i think about 10, but could be wrong

 

[BrendanM]

There was one for sale round Dundalk, dunno if it sold but it was for sale last time I spoke to the owner.

The charger was just after being rebuilt...or it may possibly have been a new charger, I can't remember which. Has a sweet M3 interior as well.

I'm sure some of the Dundalk lads could inform you if it's still for sale.

 

[t18con]

is that not up north now? thought the guy with the black mk4 golf with m3 vents bought it.

 

[rmn]

GSBellew will know

 

[GSBellew]

The Rallye in Dundalk is still for sale, still down south too, just waiting on photo's of it so I can post up a for sale thread on it actually

Oh, it was a new charger that was fitted too.

PS, Richard, how did you know I would know

 

[rmn]

eh dont you work with him or live near him

 

[GSBellew]

If you are interested give Gerard a call on 086 8173189

Car will be VRT'd by Gerard if its staying down south, so you wouldn't even have to worry about that

LOL, good point, we were talking about it in the workshop a minute ago, had to go back to the nice warm office though, bit too chilly out there.

 

[ronan]

ive seen six rallyes including my own in ireland, heard about another two and then there is a written off one that was imported for parts.

the VRT is crazy money on them for what they are, didnt you own one before dusty?

 

[JMS]

I saw that Rallye before, nice machine and the M3 interior looks well in it.

I owned one in the UK before I moved over here. (I was imported by my wife

)

When you say "crazy money" how do they work it out it doesn't show up on their online quote system, and it must be hard to set an open market selling price on a car like the Rallye. What did you have to pay on yours or did you buy it in this country.

Ps Are you bringing yours to Portlaiose?

Hey Dusty, I bought a 1990 Rallye last january in Manchester. It cost me £5,500 and I was quoted €2,000 to €2,500
to clear it. They mentioned a 'Classic/Collectable' on the phone the day I enquired about the VRT and when they came back (from their main office in Rosslare) the day after they had a value of €8,000 to €10,000.
Because the car is under 2000cc the VRT is calculated as 25% of the Market Value.
They only way they can determine this is by checking English prices as far as I know - since these were never sold here.

I think Glenn in Midleton Co Cork is still trying to sell his RHD one, €8,000 and fully registered.
There are shots of it from lalst August Show in Limerick/Fermoy if someone still has them....

ask ronan, you never could tell

ill be bringing mine to portlaoise if i can fit my spare steering rack tomorrow.

i imported mine 5 years ago and it was £2125 irish pounds to VRT it.... fecking robbery, i heard of one being cleared last year and the VRT bill was over 3K euro

 

[Dusty]

3000 Euro VRT that gives a market selling price of over €12k

where are they getting that from, I presume they have to be able to justify their figures? Nice ones in the UK seem to be available for £4500 (€6500)

 

[kvw]

i think you should try "turning up" at the customs at 5pm some friday and act the gom clearing a 1989 mk2 golf...

i seen a fella trying it on with a toyota twin cam, he paid 400 euro at the counter ahead of me and went away happy enough

3K thats what mine cost to clear...

When was this? Recently? Did you try to argue that they were over valueing the car? How do they come up with an open market value of €12k?

Oh and any pics, did you bring the car in from the UK or Europe?

Cheers
