Correct, it has to be declared as SORN, which is fine if you dont need your car for a couple of weeks. buy new tax, then send old one back Can u do that yes like i said i have done it before by keeping the old disc and sending it in for a refund while the garage re-taxed it for the new owner

for those still unsure or cant find thier reg document go here: http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ click 'vehicle enquiry' then 'next' and put in your(or anydbody elses) reg and make to get the reg date and co2 any car pre 2001 will NOT show a co2 so your safe yes Darling HAS killed the second hand market as far as post 2001 cars are concerned, i have been trying to change for a few weeks and i can tell you something is up in the second hand car market with huge drops of high emmision cars(mine has gone down 2k in 2 months) and the industry is VERY concerned meaning huge losses for us on our cars and jobs for the car industry in general created by this tax worry and fuel rises so to sumerise Darling has: lost us loads of cash value on our cars making changing to newer more efficient model impossible actively promoted keeping old(pre 2001) high polluting cars on the road by making them cheaper to by tax for caused the motor industry to loose millions on cars on thier forecorts and put jobs on the line pis...d everyone off big time and lost the next election! and to prove its nothing more than a stealth tax, if you modify your car to produce water from its exhaust and get scientific proof it dosnt matter, whatever your reg document says the co2 is thats what you wil be taxed on....robbing ba..ards have i missed anything??

in the past i have kept the tax disc when i have px the car and it hasnt stopped the dealer gatting a new one

at least i see no reson why this wont work just taxed my car today and realised next year its gonna cost a lot more so: come next march just before the new tax comes in why not apply for a refund on your old disc then re-apply straight away for a new one before the increase comes in??? should save money plus p'ss off the DVLA if everyone does it :D

i dont believe in the % taking the more crude goes up the more they make which is taking the p.ss! they should just pick an amount per gallon then increase it every year inline with inflation that is' 20 years ago they made about £1 on every gallon now they get £375 has inflation gone up 275% in 20 years? or am i talking boll..ks?

yes is latest spec but pre registered wonderd what your opinion is on the fact its not an SE? will it effect resale much? buy the way the px is an eos manual that the wife has taken against

tax up on mine, plus expecting heavy drop in next months glasses guide

been offered a non SE auto model but with the 17in alloys for £21500 new good deal? only difference i have been told is the leather/electric/heated seats is this true and would you pay the extra for them? need to say yes or no tommorrow cheers

seen a few posts on mpg but not specifically for the petrol auto i will be doing a mix of mostly town driving what can i hope to get? my current vw gti averages 30 mpg on its computer cheers

ARGH! Because my car was registered bang on 1st March 01, i fall into the "on or after 1st March 2001" category, how f**king frustrating! :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: no your ok and one of the last ones your car must be on a 'x' plate cars up to march 31st are ok to be sure go here http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ click 'vehicle enquiry' then 'next' then input you r reg and make to get the answer on what you will pay

at least thats what they have done in their latest road tax hike this 'stealth' tax done under the guise of the 'green' card makes owning and maintaining a pre april 2001 car much more attractive than upgrading to a newer model as all cars before this date have a fixed £180 tax. compare that with a new, say , range rover, which from 2010 which will cost you £950 to tax new then £455 a year after that i know most people who can afford this car wont bat an eyelid at this but this is just an example and alot more people will be effected that are not expecting it an IS200 post 2001 is going to be £430!!! im looking for an older one which will now probably go up in value :winky:

been offered £7000 by a dealer so have advised him to sell

just a follow up bought an EOS about a month ago now and loving it drive is great as is finish it just ticked all the boxes for me at the moment can live without the extra doors as kids getting older, its normally just me and the misses in it also room is amazing for this type of car, with roof up can seat 4 easy and plenty of luggage space went for black with red leather and big wheels so turns plenty of heads, reminds me of when i first had the original IS when there wernt so many on the road only one gripe is the lack of auto on mine, the waiting list was just too long for that so left foot now getting some use cheers alan

thanks for the advice he bought the leon cash for £16500 so will now sell Is for £7000 on here

thanks may go gold and advertise for him on here can get £1500 off seat for cash!
