33k 1.8 auto 1997 - Certificate of Conformity

[BrianMac]

Hi,

I am a newbie on this site - this is my first post.

I'm looking to buy a carina e 1.8 auto hatchback with only 33k miles on the clock! Problem is that it is a UK reg and I am importing it to Ireland - where they can hit you with very high tax up to €1300 depending on CO2 and NOX emissions. If you can't provide details of the emissions they charge you the full whack - €1300. The details are not on reg cert for the vehicle and I need to travel 150 miles to view the car. I have check with the official toyota site and they said get a Certificate of Conformity - however this costs over 100 quid. Would anybody know of how to obtain the nox/co2 emissions for this car spec or have certificate of conformity for the same spec that they could share with me?

Many thanks,

The CO2 figures that went on the UK V5 were only required from March 2001. For a car introduced in 1992 that went off sale in 1997 there's no official figures available.

Many thanks Magic boy. I guessed that was the case. If i get the certificate of conformity this should have it (my understanding is that this is different to the v5). I am guessing there must be some official emissions stats out there somewhere as these would have been needed for the euro standard. Carina e was euro level 2. Thanks again
