A Fair Few ZS180's For Sale..............

[stamford]

On Piston Heads website (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?s=364), never seen so many! However if you are one of those fortunate ones in the minority who are actually looking to purchase one, then this is the place to be looking. Some well priced examples going and some silly ones too. A few familiar ones to be found as well.

Would love one but they just seem so more expensive to run.

How much more would it cost to run one over a year compared to a 120?

[arwilson80]

For me a 180 costs:

- £60+/week fuel (250 miles upwards) - so minimum of £3000
- £800/yr Insurance (3PP, 26, N.Ireland, 4yr NCB)
- £500 (or so)/yr Maintenance (4 new tyres, oil/filter change every 6-7.5k miles, book service)
- £210/yr VED (Road tax)

That's about it i think, so the total is about £4500/yr. :)

From that you should be able to work out the difference in cost.

[ZS]

My 180 costs:

- £40+/week fuel (250 miles upwards) - so minimum of £2080
- £666.67/yr Insurance (FC, 25, Hampshire, 7yr NCB)
- £500 (or so)/yr Maintenance (4 new tyres, oil/filter change every 6-7.5k miles, book service)
- £210/yr VED (Road tax) - Soon to be £410 ish.

That's about it i think, so the total is about £3456.67/yr for me. :D

Bl00dy hell .... he's got another for sale .... an 05 plate that he wants 4500 for .... sh1t !!!!

[Dan1971]

There's something not right about it though. I just put the VRM into webuyanycar.com and they said :

Your valuation details
webuyanycar.com will buy your car for £4,775 (subject to inspection)

Either it's hooky, or we should all chip in, buy it then pass it on for a 1K profit ..... :pirate2:

[shroonie29]

Because the government changed it in the budget :(

Shroon

[SimonMGZS]

no they didn't change it in the budget.This is only for cars registered on or after 23/03/2006 so if your car registered before this date you will only pay £210 per year.

i have also included a link to the government website showing how much people will have to pay each year.

as the zs 180 are 227g/km exhaust emissions they will fall into the over 185g/km category they will not fall into the 225g/km as this is only for cars registered on or after 23/03/2006.

here is the link so everybody can see it for themselves.

you need to look at the second box down for petrol car (tc48) and diesel car (tc49)

and the zs 180's fall into band f not band g as it says for vehicles registered on or after 23/03/2006

[Maxxed_Ross]

nope that is not for this year.it will be the same price for next year aswell

i think you need to look at the small print on what you have just posted.

do you see the small number three by the side of the emissions on band g and if you scroll down the page you will see a list of numbers 1 2 and 3 and number 3 says for vehicles registered on or after 23/03/2006.

[SimonMGZS]

when is the next election again?

march next year

[Maxxed_Ross]

roll on then, so we can throw this shower out

[Dan1971]

Road Tax ... here we go again !

The 3 is only next to the left hand column and relates to cars for the 08-09 year registered in March 06 or after for the higher tax banding.

Our 180's then fall into the new columns for the 09-10 year where it'll be £415 if the car is registered after 1st March 01, and the small 3 does not come into it.

What he said :look:

[DeMoNPauL]

can i ask why do you think your tax is going upto £410?

That's the new VED rate as from March 2009 for a 180.

[ZS]

can i ask why do you think your tax is going upto £410?

Because it is for 09 - 10....

Anyway if you don't believe me I ain't gonna argue, you can have the shock when the bill comes in :D

[dvid]

I have no hope of selling mine if they are going for that little.... crazy

Who is that with? I'm just over £800 a year for mine :console:
not sure who im with tbh lol just know 6 naughty points and being 21 doesnt help. how old are you matey?

and yes i think all the zs 180s fall into the new tax bracket of 415 are the y reg zss still after march the 1st? mines a late 2001(51 reg) so thats me paying full whack i hope labour dont get in and i hope this proposel will then be scrapped, and petrol taken back to 70p a litre and no more speed cameras built and the police catching burglers and taken off petty crimes such as speeding. that would be a dream.

heres our countrys leader and alister.

:fishing: :wolverine:

ps as it was said anyone whos doesnt believe this just wait till you go to tax your car lol.

[Maxxed_Ross]

Ah might be the points bumping it up a bit.

You're really going to hate me, because I'm also 21 and running a 54 plate 180 :thumbsup:

[Southern Storm]

With the tory's current view on green policy's it will be exactly the same even if they did get in. You want a modern performance car, you are gonna have to pay extortionately for it. Said it before, say it again...... Bastards

[dj_russell]

i wished i could be a prime minister. it needs somone that lives in the real world.
