I do like the CSW, but was wondering if its in a higher tax bracket than the Hard Top?

Cheers

For private cars if its pre March 2001 tax is based on engine size and will be £230 at current rates for either, if post that date it is emission based so you will need to figure out what the emission levels are for the models you are trying to compare
 
My understanding is that it is, if you are looking at a newer one.
Pre 2001 they are all about £230.
Post 2001 the TD5 CSW costs £280 up till about March 2006, then rises to £500. After 2011 it's £220 as they were reclassified as commercial vehicles.
The hard top is classified as a commercial vehicle so is £220 across the board.
So l would say go for a pre-March 2006 CSW (or a hardtop and convert it to a SW which costs around £1,000)

Thanks for the info Kwakerman.... Am probably going to go for a 300TDI, so it will definitely be pre 2001

Thanks lightning. I was thinking of possibly going down the Hardtop/conversion route, but as I'm probably going to go for a 300TDI, and the tax is virtually the same anyway, it gives me more options to get the best Landy for my cash :)
