Why wouldn't you tax it for a year? Paying monthly costs a lot more and what do you do if you need to use your car during winter?mark seeker wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 2:13 amI'm not sure how much a factor the RFL is, how many cars are really taxed for 12 months a year? I would think for the majority the cars are SORN'd for some element of the year. Regardless of the cost, the engine and experience in the seat makes up for it for me...buzyg wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:25 pmThe running cost are what they are. Not really a factor if you love the driving experience and just want a great weekend car.Dav the wheel nut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:08 pm There are others on Autotrader with similar mileage for less money.
I think running costs of these cars, such as road tax £630 p.a is now starting to have a bearing on the market.
It’s still a lot of car for the money.
Fair enough if this is your second car but if it's your daily then you don't have a choice. My car does only 1K miles a year but that's because my wife's car is far more practical, does more than double the mpg and can accomodate the entire family, plus a car seat/pram and groceries.
She also gives me a lift to work and back as it is on her way to work. Otherwise I'd have to pay extortionate parking fees or get the train in meaning I walk to the train station as it has zero parking.
Also if this is your "second car" then I am sure you can afford the few hundred quid to tax it for the entire year vs part of the year after all you bought the car as a toy for £15K+
