Second hand cars should fall in price following the introduction of the Government’s new VRT system in July.
The Society of the Irish Motor Industry is predicting that the measure will bring down prices in the used car market, as consumers move to more environmentally friendly new models.
From the first of July, motorists will pay less Vehicle Registration Tax on new cars with low CO2 emissions, while people will pay more for new cars with high emissions.
