at work today a rather smart car was in the car park .... i decided to get myself a closer look at the vehicle and looked at the tax disc............:scared: now i grumble at taxing the zed and the mrs 206 every six months ......

 

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Alz.

What Porsche was it?

i take it its not a very efficient porsche then, to warrant tax at that amount.

^^^^ Agreed! Some guzzler no doubt!

If you can afford the car and to run it, i'm sure the price on the tax disc is not an issue to the owner. Glad I haven't got to pay that tho!

http://www.roadtaxprices.co.uk/Porsche_Road_Tax.htm strange, this list doesnt include a porsche that costs £800 though that list might be out of date now

^^ Loaded! :)

Paying that amount of tax would hurt me nearly as much as my foot is lol.

Very valid point lol god how the other half live :crying:

its a 2wd 3.8 so band L, that list showed it £790, obviously not been updated to reflect new prices but that is awful!

 

And all to support the sales of new cars eh... I suppose if your spending 80-120k on a car, best part of 1 more isnt going to hurt!

I'm sure a deal would be negotiated at the dealership where the buyer gets the showroom tax wavered i.e the dealership take the cost.

Yeah its dealer tax. I went to look and test drive the 370Z couple weeks ago the tax on that was £1000!!

LOL! I think when I saw the Mercedes SLS it was £1400 for the first year!! :shock:

Phil beat me to it - the first year is high then it drops back to £435 or something like that.....

 

Richard:yes:

Exactly - you negotiate an "on the road" price with the dealer so you don't actually pay over the £800-odd yourself as it's all included in the cost of the car.

 

So whatever way it's done, the disc still shows the full tax amount!
