It won't be £460 to tax but £270 as is my 53 plate MG ZS 180 which pumps out 276 grams of co2 ;)
 
Hello all, I've just purchased an 02 plate 1.8 serengeti for the wife and am really pleased with the car, the car is currently sorn, so I've got it in the garage, now according to the slip from the V5 the emmisions figure is 248 g/km which puts it in group L (£460 :mad:), but according to an expired tax disc in the car, it was £134 for 6 months? Does anyone know the actual cost at the moment?

Cheers

Gary


My 1.8 3 door Braemar is £270 It was first registered September 2001
 
with mine being a '99 and believing the DVLA site (?????? wtf?) it does now appear that you won't be paying £460.:eek:

typical government agency, the department of misinformation
 
Save £50 a year in tax, awesome. Keep it and I'll take the extra 10mpg.
Perhaps you can have a giggle over the £475 road tax I have to pay on the Gaydon.

I'll keep the extra few inches of ground clearance, proper chassis, proper body, full leather interior, extra torque, off road ability, the fact that I can run it off veg so it negates that 10mpg etc :D


Oh I shall :cool:

Oo, thats not seriously a ****ing contest challenge is it!!!!!!

The best you can get is low 20's out of a Vantage, but since when would you want to try!!!
Knife to a gunfight.

I don't want to try that's why i have two cars. Average cost of a days laning in fuel is £100. Car I can run for a month on a tank. I.ll keep my knives :fencing:
Still find it shocking £475 for tax

You have to reasonably accept it. VED isnt applied fairly, when you require a car for work, getting to work or because of personal or geographical circumstances.
When that car has an engine at nearly 5ltrs and only 2 seats, it is purely a pleasure machine and I can understand that as a luxury it is not a necessity and you can expect a good taxing.
 
I'll keep the extra few inches of ground clearance, rusty chassis, rusty body, full leather interior just like Freelanders, extra torque, off road ability, the fact that I can run it off veg so it negates that 10mpg etc :D

Oh I shall :cool:
Yer but no but how often do you have to fix the rust? :doh: :rolleyes:
