marzman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Brilliant. Looks lovely. I'm strongly considering the prospect of a 60's Mustang within the next 12 months or so. Will be watching this with interest. Do you want a project one? Or ready to go and drive? Not saying this is a good buy, but the price is not bad considering that's everything paid, import/taxes, registration etc. http://www.rodsnsods...included-472081 I'd say go for it, there are plenty around, just takes a lot of research and googling to find a good one, in budget, with solid pictures. A LOT of people I reached out to didn't even respond to my enquiries, and some were not willing to take pics of the underside, so I walked away without hesitation. Cheers for the link. Was leaning towards a finished example... not got the appetite for a build at the moment. Great price that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Slight change of plans... Still keeping true to some extent. The number 8 is still relevant All shall be revealed on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 So I got a new company car instead of the Camaro ( long story ) Still, kept the 8 Sorry for the crappy pics, I can't remember how to use photobucket properly, and I was too excited to take "good" ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 What company do you work for and are there any jobs going?! Certainly beats the normal BMW, Ford, generic saloon company car that I see a lot of people getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Even better news. Have officially ordered a 370z Nismo ^_^ I guess nothing quite matched it, just so special looking and drives bloody well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 You can't have a GT86 AND a 370Z NIsmo. It's not fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just flabbergasted, from a classic Camaro to a GT86 Oh well, if it makes sense to you, that's all that matters I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikevv Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 I got an email yesterday confirming my reg, and the car will be ready to be collected this Thursday GY17AUV - not the best plate, and I couldn't choose any others. My question is how can I check if I am the first owner etc? I've never bought a brand new car, so I don't know how this works apart from checking the V5 ( I don't know if I get one cause its a PCP ) I paid the road fund license, does this count as the vehicle being taxed? The new rules confuse me. The way he explained it to me was I pay the RFL and then the tax is £140 a year, but he didn't say if that included the first year or not. I tried to ask but he said we can sort it on Thursday -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 If you ordered a factory built car, you'll be the first owner. You will get the V5 as well, as you're responsible for taxing the vehicle. 1st year VED will be included in the purchase price of the car, it'll be listed on the invoice.

Mikevv Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 If you ordered a factory built car, you'll be the first owner. You will get the V5 as well, as you're responsible for taxing the vehicle. 1st year VED will be included in the purchase price of the car, it'll be listed on the invoice. My invoice states the following Basic price £31350 Factory fit accessories £479.17 ( Pearl Storm White ) Retailer allowance £2342.50 Sub total £29486.67 Accessories £0 Delivery £0 Sub total £29486.67 VAT £5897.33 R.F. License £1700 New Reg Fee £55 Supplemental £0 Total price £37139 So the RFL is definitely used for taxing the vehicle? Just trying to double and triple check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 As above, first year road tax will be covered in the money you have already paid, so no need to worry for 12 months. If this is a brand new car then you are the first owner. The dealership will not be an owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Yup, all there. Road Fund Licence = Vehicle Excise Duty = Road Tax. All the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 All finally home about 15 mins ago, been up since 6 am hahaha Had the front of the car covered in PPF, amazing job by the guys at Racebydesign. Anyways pics will be up tomorrow, but unfortunately I can't wash the car for 48 hours due to the PPF. Now, time to relax, and enjoy the fact I have a beautiful car home safely ^_^ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Icon Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Congrats on the purchase. I agonised over PPF when I picked up my Nismo a month or so ago but decided on the stone chip and scratch insurance instead. Neither will stop the paranoia every time something pings off the car though. Doing 5 mile detours to avoid roads that have been lazily resurfaced with those loose chippings is now a thing.
