    i believe it was pre 1998 and i know it's a diesel...2498 diesel. tried the ros website, the state tax site but no joy. 900 per year on a 2.5 diesel sounds horrible!!

    You are on the old tax system, emmissions is only on NEW cars reg'd from july '08 onwards.

    So it'll be €935 but expect it to go up in the budget!

    Damn!! thats alot of tax!! Me thinks a BMW 525 is not a recession car at all....
    What a pity....i really wanted to get one, there's great value to be had, just that the tax takes it away. much thanks to all, and that site to show the rate? nice touch..
