I need some good advice on relocating from the US to Ireland, and what do do with the GT4.
For example, I am considering whether to bring my US-spec, LHD Cayman GT4. I expect that there is not much to do to the car to make it roadworthy in Ireland, and I understand that no VAT would be payable upon import because I have owned the car since November 2016, but could it be that the CO2 emission of the GT4 of 238 g/km would attract an annual road tax of €2,350?
Some have advised me to sell my US-spec cars and buy in Ireland, but of course the GT4s are no longer available. And there is also the concern that there are not many Irish roads on which I would want to drive the GT4. And there is not much in the way of track day culture.
There are, though, some cars that are sold in Ireland that are not sold in the US. Please give me your advice.
