Dealer told me the other day that in July when the new emmission laws / vrt rules comes in the vRS is dropping 160 euro a year to tax (currently costs 5 something), and the price is dropping by over 3.6k euro!! same spec levels. That's why the dealers are charging 6k now to change from an 07 to 08 which you would be mad to do. The Irish vRs comes standard with 17"'s, rear electric windows, jumbo box with mp3 input, mp3/stream radio, climatronic, tyre pressure sensor, rain sensing wipers, dimming mirror, maxi dot display.

vRS TDi falls into Band C of new tax system, meaning €290 per year which is still a hell of a saving, but not as good as the 10% cut in VRT:)

TFSi gets hit with an extra tenner per year (up to €600:mad:) but still sneaks a 2% VRT cut

If you've bought new since January 08 and the road tax drops, you can move onto the new system at next renewal
