UK registered cars
Discussion
What is the deal with so many long term UK registered cars on Irish roads?
I am thinking about importing two cars, one older than 2008 is €1080 and second is younger that 2008 so is €2450 to tax per year!!
Crazy money, so may have to ditch the €2450 before hand.
What's the score with keeping a car on Irish roads with UK tax, Insurance and MOT?

Moving to Ireland from the UK, mid 2014
First car up is a 1999 2.4 Turbo Volvo V70R-AWD, second car is a 2009 2.8 V6 Saab Turbo-X XWD.
Irish road tax is bonkers, Volvo would be 1080 and Saab would be 2450 per year.
Saab may have to go as that's crazy money to tax a car.
The car would remain in the ROI.
Still can't understand why there are so many long term non Irish registered cars on Irish roads and how they get away with it???

Thanks for all the useful advice. I've decide to swap in the Turbo-X for a Saab 93 TTiD 180, road tax will be about €270 per annum, much better than the €2350 for the Turbo-X. Insurance quotes with 123.ie are about the same as the UK. Aiming to make the move in the summer to avail of the new school terms starting in September.
