Hi Marie,

No watch-outs other than the usual - buy from a reputable garage, make sure it has a full service history and get the history checked out with Cartell.ie. As for documentation, you'll need the car's V55 registration document and an invoice detailing the price and date of sale. You'll also need personal identification and proof of address. You'll find invaluable assistance on the Citizen's Information site: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/moving_to_ireland/coming_to_live_in_ireland/importing_car_into_ireland.html
