Then there are vectra's of similar age and price as well as many other's.... When you look at the Dacia's which were only £5k or so NEW, they won't be far off £1500 |
I used to work in the trade and still have access to cap & glasses etc.
it would need to be a V6 mondeo to hit the higher tax, they are still trading (not retail) for 2-2500.
The 1.8 & 2.0 are pretty cheap to tax, as are the Dacia's!
The only thing I could find was a PT cruiser 2.4 auto that Cap's at 1500 - retail was 2500 tho.
This was an awful car new.
Obviously if the car had been to the moon and back half a dozen times it would be worth peanuts, but then you would need to question the reason for scrapping - tax or mega miles, worthless and worn out!
This is just another typical example of low level journalism using shock tactics.
I doubt the writer could find even a few cars this applies to.
