Ad gave tax as €1,080

Nice, I wonder would that have been worth it for an LPG conversion some time ago, not sure now, tax doesnt usually put me off when something is clean, but it'll be a killer plus insurance be difficult.

Love that Duke, what a find.

Insurance would be about €90 for me fully comp for the year

The beauty of this thread is it doesn’t take a one size fits all approach to bangernomics. Some like big leathery Saabs etc that are cheap because they are expensive to tax, and others like cheap to buy and cheap to run Corollas and Yaris’ etc

I find those that whinge about the tax are penny pinching stingebags who want something as chape as possible to run, for their cheap lifestyle. They type that aspire to a Dacia Dustbin as the bee all end all so they can fill the boot with reduced to clear yellow sticker Tesco everyday value goods, because they bought an overpriced kip of a house in some arsebandit of a spot to keep up with the Jonses'

So here's a tax crippling special in the eyes of those stingy hoors: NCT to Jan 2020, 850

"SOME MISFIRE NEEDS COIL ,COULD BE PLUG PERFECT OTHERWISE...

If it was the coil pack you'd think he'd change it and stick it up for sale without a misfire.......

Nice looking car. NCT is odd. He states in the ad text that it has NCT until 2020, but the details of the ad show it as expired, and when I check on NCT site it says NCT expired, unless he means he will be selling it with an NCT included at that price?

I find it fascinating that you undertook such an in depth study into those people you came across who don't like high car tax.

A bit?
It doesnt half come across as muddled up, complain about people buying cheap goods in tescos and at the same time castigate them for overpaying for a house.

I think it's completely justifiable to criticise the governments car tax policy, it's a joke! I think that's a fairly widely held view no matter where people shop or where they bought their houses.

Not at all if he can meet me at the tax office and pay mine for a year

Pretty sure he can afford few other posters tax, too.

First boards motor meeting at the tax office car park ever

Absolutely agree. It is far too cheap to tax a car in this country. The tax should depend on the Euro norm, mass and much stricter emissions brackets. I find it a disgrace that a 2009 520d is cheaper to tax than many petrol b-blass hatchbacks.

Tasty motor on the outside, but the centre console on those must be one of the worst, nastiest looking centre consoles ever created!

Those 180bhp 2.2 d-4d engines are a gamble even at those prices, the head gaskets are made of chocolate.

Yeah I was wondering what they’d be like reliability wise. Is it the same unit from Lexus IS220d ?

bazz26

Yes afaik.
