foggy147 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Please can someone advice what the process is for buying a car from Northern Ireland? I'd be flying from Manchester to Belfast and would then need to get the car back on the ferry. What's the best way of doing this? Can I insure it, tax it as normal etc to make sure I am covered to drive it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Same as buying the car from England, Scotland or Wales bud as far as insurance tax & mot goes. We're just another part of the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Also, Stranraer ferry is cheaper and a much shorter crossing, with a good drive down to enjoy. Liverpool ferry might be an overnight sailing but gets you much closer to home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conorj Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Its easy done for the right car, I bought mine from London area and went the opposite way. I wouldn't do an overnight sailing tho, I'd go either of the options below depending on which sailing time suited best. 3.5hr boat from Belfast to Stranraer/Cairnryan then 4 hour drive to Manchester 2 hour drive to Dublin, 3.5hr boat to holyhead, then 2 hour drive Manchester.
