What would the tax be on that? ^^

Duke O Smiley

I think they're €390 for the year

325i manual, years test, 5 months tax, good spec, €2k

Seems too cheap?

No tax no nct. Mazda diesel = no. That's three no's I'm afraid.

€445 would short out the tax and nct for the year

Doubtful.

If Bill knew €445 was standing in the way of a €5k sale he'd have a test on it.

I would say it's near ready for scrap... Mazda and Diesel just don't mix.

Cracking value it is, but why would the dealer not test it and take full payday for it makes me a little worried.

I actually deleted the post when I realised there were few more saying the same thing

It was last unread on my list instead of the last posted hence the delete.

I don't think it'd be very desirable for most given the year and big engine size. Very nice car though

I really really like that 3 series. So weird that it's an SE model and comes with iDrive. What a weird order.

That'll be a hard sell I'd say - anyone in the market for a €650 car probably won't want one that costs more than the purchase price to tax, and has poor fuel economy, while anyone who wants a bit of cheap luxury won't want a Hyundai. I'd be surprised if it doesn't end up on a weighbridge.

It's 2.0l - it's not that bad to tax... If it was automatic, I'd be all over it...

It's more expensive to tax than it's sale price, so, as I said, most people in the market for a car that cheap won't want to more than double the price with tax. I think the vast majority of people wouldn't drive an 11 year old 2 litre Hyundai unless they had no other option, which limits the market severely.

Are you saying it would be more desirable if it was more expensive, so that the tax is less than purchase price?!

I treat tax as a running cost - like insurance, petrol and repairs. There are cars that are more expensive to own and less expensive to own, but you need to look at all of them, not only if the tax is more or less than purchase price.

I agree that it is not a desirable vehicle - but it is mainly because it is Hyundai. Not because of its tax.

Think you're getting your wires crossed. Here's what I'm saying in very easy to understand language:

If the only car I can afford is a €650 car, then I'm unlikely to be able to afford or want a car that costs more than that to tax
If I can afford to spend more than €650 on a car, I'm unlikely to buy an 11 year old Hyundai, that doesn't have looks, performance, brand image, or economy going for it.

So what else presents a better value (all costs included), let's say for €1k plus 1k/year for tax and repairs?
* An old BMW or Merc will cost much more to keep on the road
* A reliable Corolla will cost less to run, but you'll find it difficult to get one for that kind of money. Plus it is nowhere as comfortable

IMHO this Hyundai is one of the best Bangernomics proposition...

You've answered the question yourself.
Old BMW/Merc - comfort, brand, probably well kitted out.

Corolla - cheap to run, ultra reliable.

The Hyundai fits in neither category (which is what I've now said 3 different ways!).

Why? It's fits in neither of the examples you yourself wrote above!

You might actually enjoy driving an old BMW/Merc/Audi and then sell it on when you're done, and spending a few quid along the way won't feel like simply fending off the scrapper as you would with that Hyundai.

Weigh it in, whatever you get is it's value - around €100 would be my guess.

You reckon its worth €100?

Not to me it isn't, but for scrap value it might be.
