Road Tax Changes
« on: 08 March 2009, 14:27:00 »
Looking at getting myself an Omega facelift.
Interested in a 2002 2.6, but would it fall into the 'Very Expensive' tax category in the near future? Summat like £440 per year IIRC! :o :o :o


I understand that our glorious government (sic), have postponed the date as to the changeover to the new classes, but not sure when.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was actually spent on the roads..... still it's nice to dream.

As scary a prospect as it may be, 'Cameron's lot' is probably the best bet only option left.
