i was under the impression that it is currently 118.75 for 6 month,then after april it goes up to 135 for 6 month,it was the same as my 2.2 vectra so i will pay it anyway

sometimes i am so glad i have got a slow old 'tractor' engine in mine!

tax is around the £125 region i think last time i renewed it although it is due at the end of next month, so may have gone up...

If the car is in good condition and reliable, then paying that little bit more is money well spent. Buying a cheaper car to get around the tax groupings is false economy. You could be buying yourself trouble. I just taxed mine, was £118.

Nope, still £125 and will still be £125 from April! :D

Cheap tax, cheap insurance, and 45mpg+ even when booting it! :D

£235 from April - but even if it was £425 - that's £190 more - roughly £16 a month. You'd bin it for £16 a month ?

Agree with this totally!

there might be some cheap post 2006 ZS180's soon then *-)

Who
is gonna want to pay 2 grand for a car , then pay over £400 to tax it

£235 from April - but even if it was £425 - that's £190 more - roughly £16 a month. You'd bin it for £16 a month?...... it doesnt seem much when its put like that ... untill you factor in mortgages , kids , running cost of a wife and her car etc

£16 extra a month is nothing considering my Sky TV package and gym membership costs me £100 a month. Personally I think it is pathetic someone have to sell their car because a rise of road tax by £190 a year.

I'd rather get rid of Sky tv than the car tbh
