Bobthebeard Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Would anyone be interested in a cheap reliable car? It is a Chevrolet Tacuma 2.0 pez auto. Have replaced the head gasket, timing belt etc etc. and it just works as a car with no issues. Big snag is the VED at £48 per month. Will be up for sale as soon as the Honda Accord diesel is back on the road next year. £200. It's an 07 car with around 87K.

DoctorRetro Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'd love another Tacuma (yes, I have owned one previously), but it would have to be a pre2001 model, for tax reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazoli Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't see why the tax is such a big stumbling block for some, its a £200 car, which is a couple of days wages, the money you have saved on the car pays for the tax. overrun, eddyramrod and spartacus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Tax would be a lot more palatable if the the car only cost 3 or 4 quid.... I'll have number 48 and 12 please.

I guess it’s because you can buy other cars for the same tiny amount and get half a tank of fuel a month for the same amount. If every cheap car had the same tax it wouldn’t be an issue. It’s also the reason I haven’t bought another RX8, on the 205 £13 tax a month is ok for a fun car, but £50 is a bit rich for a car that might do 100 miles a month.

eddyramrod Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This will be my old Tacuma, if I'm not mistaken. Bloody nice little car in general, replaced only because I wasn't allowed to drive for several months, so I decided MrsR should have something brand new from Motability, seeing as she was having to drive me everywhere. We both liked the Tacuma. If it goes to Roffle, two please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
