SteveM Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 everyone gets hung up on the tax for cars.... £500 a year is only £1.40 a day.... he wants a 150bhp plus, 2005 and up car thats capable of carrying 5 plus a large boot space and is good for long trips yet is fun to drive. you are going to end up paying somewhere..... you might as well get a big fun barge and pay the extra tax as far as i am concerned (hence i bought a 3ltr V6 turbo diesel Merc as a run around) but each to their own 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
