370z Road Tax..................How Much?!!!!!!

[choptop]

Been looking at exchanging my 350z for a 370z at the current time. Noticed that a double decker bus's road tax was £500, then I noticed the 370z's is over £800

 

Where do the government get these figures from? How can any car polute nearly twice that of a double decker bus?

 

The question is when are the roads going to improve?

That is what I thought but reading the literature it hits the next road tax bracket. Can any new 370z owners comment?

Some people on here pay the higher 06+ zed road tax but don't even have two cup holders

[ioneabee]

I haven't got any cup holders

 

unless you count the hole in the middle by the gear stick

[Will370z]

46,000 pennies to have access to the entire UK road network all year round, in a 350z!

 

Sounds like a bargain to me!

This is something that is bothering me beyond belief.

I'm half temped to bloody set up a campaign (that'll fall on deaf ears I'm sure) in conjunction with some of the mags etc

We should set up a potion so all higher road tax goes to keeping the fun roads in good condition for us

Well the Government seem to be with the ongoing hikes in Road Tax! . They would say that Road Tax is just general taxation and has nothing to do with looking after the roads

[rabbitstew]

Yep I paid £460 last year

 

I ended up paying over £500 on my 313 as I got the road tax in 2 6 month instalments.

VED doesn't get spend on the roads, you guys know that right? It goes to the central coffers, has done for many many years now.

 

Smudgedon's got it right, it's a relative bargain if you consider the cost of the car. Put it this way: It's £450 to tax a 350Z for a year, a car that costs £30,000 to buy. It costs me £225 a year to tax an MX-5 that cost be £850. One of those deals is good, the other not so much.
