[yeah there is any weight of them over here but they have all traveled from england in the first place. don't think i've seen one yet ona low number for the year, meaning the were registered after the plate they are carrying.
as for quality, no more than every corolla rwd that has been poached from ye they will have had a tough life on every crossroads and church carparks! Is your contact from charlestown?

Ireland probably has twice as many sports as over here now. They are all really well looked after as is such with all cars over there but they will all have been drove like they were meant to and some will have have lots of abuse.
I think I know who the contact is and if its the same guy he buys them in england and brings them over to Ireland and sells them for a tidy profit.
You'd be better off just getting one over here.

There are at least 10 sports now for sale in the northern ireland autotrader now every week. they are getting popular as people dont want the usual rear wheel drive cars when going to cruises. SOme will have been given death at crossroads and quiet areas and they will deffo have lived sideways getting out of junctions. The one problem with buying a sport over here is your talking a price hike of at least Ԛ£1000 and possibly even more when dealing with people from the republic of ireland.

Frosted if yuou buy one from northern ireland its a case of drive it over and send the V5 of to the tax office and they will issue you with a new one however its a whole different ballgame if your buying one thats registered in the republic.

Hello there

I got my BM last year from England; there are a few forms you have to fill in from the Tax Office. The first one you need is the Ԛ“Certificate of ExportԚâ€a it doesnԚ't cost anything but can take a few weeks then you can register the car in your name.

Hope this helps
