    Yeah I'm aware of that story. Owner chancing his arm not paying the lease. Hasn't done his homework either, if he had taken out the sim, there is nothing Renault could have done to remotely disable the car.
    Not as easy as that in a Zoe - there's more connectivity on board. For a fluence however that would work

    would all come back to a Sim though ultimately. Maybe also a wireless backup unit. But tbh both would be easy to take out. If you were that way inclined

    If I were to bring in a Zoe or Fluence and had no intention to pay the lease, I would certainly do my homework on this and know exactly what to disable :pac:

    I put that car into the revenue website and put in correct mileage and said it was June 2018 and VRT is €0!

    I think he meant, ensure car has 6000km on the clock before you bring it to VRT appointment as you would have to pay VAT in addition to VRT.

    Problem is Tesla have a habit of blocking crashed cars from updates and supercharging rendering the car less than ideal. Chap on youtube repairs Tesla cars and has had this problem

    To avoid VAT the car needs to be +6months old at time of purchase AND over 6,000kms at time of presentation for VRT inspection

    Jaysus let's not do this again :D

    When I was in MAG (Motorcycle Action Group) I wasted years of my life trying to explain to people the (then) rules about restricted 'bikes and the discrepancy between the European directive and the Irish legislation to implement it. Then endlessly arguing explaining online about the meaning of the words "And" and "Or". Jesus.

    Then the EU Third Driver Licensing Directive came along, it was clear and in black and white, didn't offer member states cowardly opt-outs, and everyone was happy and knew where they stood.

    Autonomy sounds great but sucks to high hell when you want to get anything important done.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Must be one of the cheapest 2018 L40’s in Europe, I think I spied the pro-pilot button as well which really makes it great value if all above board.

    If this is the trend it does not bode well for the value of mine.

    70.000 km in a year old car is serious mileage.

    Didn't think the Launch Edition came with Xenon/LED?

    Drivetrain and battery one has 90,000km left, but still crap for a new car to have a basic warranty of 100,000km in these times

    Hyundai unlimited 5 years and 200,000km/8years is way to go

    Pro-pilot was standard on the launch edition. And I like that colour!

    It's a good deal, but you can get an Ioniq (171) for similar money. So this is by no means exceptional value for money in my book

    This is an original Irish car btw. The UK Launch Edition equivalent (=2.Zero) comes with seat heaters as standard which this hasn't got but as Unkel says the ProPilot was standard so definitely what is says on the tin.

    It's a pretty sharp devaluation from the launch price which was a smidgen under 30+delivery so pretty good value over a brand new L40 for a roomy quick and quiet family wheels.
