The gratuitous pic of Vladamir Putin is hilarious.

I know it says all the info that's officially required to re-tax it as a limo, but I wonder how much of that is required in the real world, where the person behind the desk has no such clue such documentation is needed.

The person behind the desk is doing a job, they would be well versed on what is required to tax a car as a PSV.

You'd think, but not always it seems.

There was a story on here a good while back about a person having a 7 seater that was taxed with the psv rate, and was able to be renewed as same, without all the documents.

Of course there's no proof it's true. Hearsay innit.

BOYS THE WHOLE POINT HERE IS BANGERNOMICS

ITS A BLOODY S CLASS FOR 900 EURO

If you can run the thing on petrol taxing it wont be a problem

And how many of these will still be around in 10 years cause people are afraid of the big engine


@ 900 euro surely it can only appreciate

Keep the patronization out of it for a second, and have a read of my last post. What i'm saying is that there have been a few stories of people continuing on PSV tax without the correct documentation, so how exactly do you propose that happened?

Anyway, this is sidetracking a good thread. Agree to disagree.

I recon it you kept taxing the vehicle on line you would have no problems. The online tax system is a bit "dumb" so to speak. Im assuming that you would get the renewal in the post for a PSV and off you go.

Sport the €84 on the bottom right of the road tax disc?? You may have to zoom in by holding the Ctrl button and scroll your mouse wheel forward/back

That the taxi/hackney/limo rate for 1 year.

I don't know why people keep posting up 80's and 90's Mercs. They really aren't the be-all and end-all in bangernomics motoring.

Plus, everyone knows W210's are pure sh1te.

Also the NCT disc says "taxi" and has a plate number opposite where it says taxi!

However, the previous generation of mercs to the w210 would indeed be to the forefront of my suggestions for bangernomics though. The same comfort etc but without the infamous rust and electrics issues.

The w124 for example would be a way better option for me than the standard carina etc that are the normal bangernomics options.

jebus, you really must have eyes like a hawk!

i had trouble seeing that even zoomed in. :eek:

as for the mercs, i think people just like a bit of luxury in their bangers, after all even a old merc is still a merc.

The W210s are not half as bad as people make them out to be, UK imports are the worst for rust, an Irish one wouldn't be too bad. A well looked after E230 auto in Avantgarde spec with less than 150K miles on it with a recent NCT and service history bought for small money would be a very nice car I reckon.

I was trying to buy this before I posted it up, but he doesn't seem to want to reply!

Aye, that's what I asked him. No reply... It didn't deliver in fact, with all those 7's, maybe he got his own number wrong :L

You'll need a V8 in an E38...

Bargain! And a V8 to boot. I had the exact same engine in my E34 530iA. If the engine is still ok now, there's little chance it will suffer from the dreaded Nikasil issue.

That is the 3.0 M60 engine:

wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M60

Check the casting serial number on the engine! :

M60B30:
1 725 970 - Nikasil
1 741 212 - Nikasil
1 745 871 - Alusil

Apparently this is the only way to see if it has the Nikasil lining!

Saab Ed

Nice tidy V6 that you'd get for close to a grand. New test too ....

I know

My point is that if the nikasil lined engine has survived so far, it is unlikely to develop the dreaded Nikasil problems in the future! Anyway, if it does, you just buy yourself another €1k E38

It green! Black or blue for me :L

I'm going to tax the Saab tomorrow, I'll try keep it for two months or three... I probably won't though :P;)

Off topic a little, Why do I recall that Veronica Guerin's car was a 92 KY Calibra like that one ? (or was it a KE?)

I like the Calibra for that price!

I was thinking the same until I saw the manky Vectra dashboard that you'd be looking at from the drivers seat.

I drove a Nissan Sunny for a while - at least the Calibra looks better from the outside. You could decorate it with receipts from the co-op? That's the standard interior decoration of a Vectra isn't it?

Wouldn't bother me, red top Calibra for €850 that looks straight in the add, if I didn't have the e34 I'd buy that.

Thinking the exact same myself.
I'd say the thing hunts up and down the gears with the auto box. Common enough I think.
MIght be worth a call. If there is an auto problem, then its not worth what he is asking.

Lads gettin rid of my car now and never thought bout going to sumtin like a beamer. im only 20 so is there any 3 series or anything out there i could afford. would have about 2.5k easy to spend. was going to get a bzr levin or similar but stumbled across this thread and ye have nearly converted me. any ideas. sum in this look nice but i worry about tax and insurance, although axa seem to want to insure me on nearly anything

Eoin

2.5k might get you a tidy enough e36 318is which would be my choice if I was 20.
