Road tax is killing barges when >3L = €1566
You will have paid the entire car price in a few years.
Although it makes green sense so I'm for it.
I know you think that, and, having bought several nice smaller cars over the years, for reasons just like that, I understand where you're coming from.
Then I got a look at an old 944 turbo a friend bought........and the gears started turning.......mmmm, cheap, cheap insurance, crappy tax......but no depreciation and no car payments.
So I started looking.........and ended up with this:
Without a shadow of a doubt, it is the motoring bargain of the century.
Goddamn enormous tax, yes, but what other expense is there ? I have no car payments or finance (as I sold an 4-mth old Galaxy Zetec Tdci to finance it). So if servicing costs cancel one another out from one car to another, and instead of paying Eur 600 p.m. finance............I'm not paying anything like what an 'ordinary' car costs. The hit I took on the Galaxy (bad and all as it was), was still the right thing to do. Especially in light of 40-watts VRT loo-lah since........:rolleyes:
Previously, costs p.a. were:
Galaxy Tdci / Porsche 968
Depreciation - 4500 / 900 ?
Tax - 550 / 1290
Fuel - 660 6.6l/100km / 1000 12l/100km
Insurance - 600 / 600
Total - 6310 (525 p.m.) / 3790 (315 p.m.)
So, running my 968 costs me 40% less than an 07 Galaxy 1.8Tdci, big tax included.
I'm glad I worked that out, actually
Now, that's all very well, and then you go mad..............and, er, end up with, er.......2, as you do, like........
Oops !

“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
