I just paid £305* for the Omega and just got the bill for £245* for the MX5 plus there is the BINI at £145* (to be gifted to our daughter) and looks like I'm getting my wife a Vomit Puke erm Juke.  What will that be? about £150 ?

* I think that's right *

So that's erm.......too much about £850 or £16 a week.  or £2.33 a day (One Costa coffee)

 

What is this monthly direct debit thing ? Does it work out cheaper ?  I pay each in one instalment.

I've known this for a while, but those in the Republic of Ireland get a right good kicking car tax-wise. What I don't understand is why large engined sheds in the RoI aren't totally worthless. Living in Northern Ireland I've compared prices and there's little difference or they are slightly more expensive. I appreciate the pound has weakened, but still.

 

Anyway, for the record:

 

'01 MB CLK 230K Cab - £305;

'82 Land Rover Series 3 - Sorn, but would be £245;

'70 Jag XJ6 - Sorn, but historic so nowt.

 

My Mum's Merc comes in at £535.

It's just allows you to spread the cost over 12 months rather than paying all in one go. It doesn't work out cheaper but it is only 5% more expensive. So for a whole year it costs an extra £12.25 for a big engine pre 2001 car which I feel is worth it for the convenience factor.

two bx diesels which I think are 230 a year and the van which although its an hdi is classed as a commercial so another 230 a year. £690 a year in tax for vehicles that can only be driven one at a time.

Nail on head. Should be added to fuel duty so its representative of use.

 

But then theyd make less money......

Not everyone has the disposable income to pay £200+ at once
