Bring a nice US car back to Ireland

Hi All, I am being transferred to Boston for 1 year.. before the end of 2008. As an example..... A 2004 BMW 645i can be picked up for about €21000, when they are about 50k over here. Same goes for almost every other make.... I can ship it back for about €1500, so is there any downside? Do i have to pay VRT? Any other…

Not all cars in the US have red rear indicators although strangely enough a good few European cars have them such as the new model Jetta and 3 Series. On the Jetta the rear light operation seems quite complicated, using the same lights for brakes and indicators, so I don't know why they didn't stick to the amber bulb like all the Japanese cars seem to have.
