What To Pay For An 00 '400

[93_LS400]

I'm thinking about moving up to an 00 ... what kind of cash should you be paying. If it's right I might come over to the UK and get one. They're expensive here in Ireland, and on import we have to pay a whack in tax to import used, but it may be worth it

thanks

Tax?

Is it not possible to (a) get your UK-based mate to pick one up for £xx,000, (b) buy it off your mate for £1,000 instead, (c ) pay tax on the £1,000, then (d) bung your mate the difference afterwards?

By the way, just checked on AutoTrader and Y2K W-reg LS400s fetch from £4,995 (one in Watmough) to £9,450, £9,850 and £9,995 (the other three).

Y2K X-reg LS430s start at £15,980

Unfortunately import tax is based on assessed value rather than purchase value

:tsktsk: Effectively a W-Reg with 85000 miles works out at 6200 euro in tax.
