The tax used be based on engine capacity but now it is based on emissions and unfortunately the S falls into the highest bracket.
I'd say there'll never be another new S sold in Ireland.

Thanks John, growing up in Wales until I hit 25 I remember the road tax was expensive then, now............holy moly.
For those who don't know, road tax is the same as licencing your vehicle annually. $ 930-$3,100 just to be able to drive your car on the road.
Insurance etc, is all extra.
