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

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.
