Aston Martin VRT

daithi09

I've being looking at aston martins in England, now I cant afford one in the near future so its more just curiosity.. It doesnt give you the choice on www.ros.ie. Would there be any way to calculate it, like twenty percent of its cost, maybe there's a an average percentage? It's really not important but thanks for any help..

The VRT on any Aston Martin that's not yet 30 years old will be 36% of the open market selling price (OMSP). The latter can't be found on the calculator for any (semi-)exotic car, so the only way to get the VRT figure is to get a quote in writing from the VRO (see contact details in the charter). Don't buy a car abroad before you have a quote

Any semi, or exotic vehicle has a independently consultant to the Revenue sent out to inspect the vehicle. I know this, cause he's a mate of mine, and ends up (Still, even in the recession), getting hauled around to stretched hummers, 612 Scagliettis, DB9s, you name it.

I wouldnt see why he would need to take the car for a test drive?

He might turn a blind eye on a few extras if he recieved the latter!

........easiest way to get a ball park figure, is to look at what's for sale here, average the price, and you'll pay up 36% of that.

Hate to tell you, you're mate's an idiot. I've been getting quotes for an Elise over the past while and he's over valued them by almost 10K!

And I don't understand how he would get to even see the cars if he doesn't work for the revenue!

Considering the high VRT bracket these cars fall into and the current economic climate here I would not be surprised if you could buy one of these cars here for similar money as going to the UK.

True, someone I know was offered a 2004, tungsten silver DB9, 61k miles for €60k recently!
