What Reg Did The High Tax Start

[jims-terrano]

Does anyone know when the silly road tax started on the Terrano's??

I've been browsing and seen a couple for sale, one is an 05 plate and the other is a 54 plate.

After March 2001 me thinks so from a 51 plate onwards

No 2005/6 is the very high 490 tax

Mines is an 04 and its 280 for the year :thumb2

Has anyone got an 05 plate that can say for sure please. £500 is a joke isn't it.

XR6R is 100% right:thumbs & at this date some are still 55 plates so if you go to look at one check the reg date:thumbs mines a 55 plate first reg november 05 & the tax is £280 a year now that might seem bad to a lot of people but it wasn't an issue for me as my 02 plate astra was £270 a year so for an extra £10 a year I don't have to worry about a drop of rain or snow:lol

 

[terrano bob]

yep mines a 04 280 for year :thumbs

Mind, the way the government are banding around the possible effects of global warming with these floods, I wouldn't be surprised to see them try to hammer (4x4 gas guzzlers), as they see us.

seems so unfair that the same truck, engine wise has 3 different ved

so newest are deemed dirty base on CO yet older versions that could have more
flex on exhaust output are less.

so 55 is last safe plate, a few 06s too.

when we got the 52 plate parkers said it was, or could £440+ but the first few
years had neen reigned in, do fear that these could go upto post 06 levels if
they want to score points against us poluters.

Well I've seen a really sexy 05 plate in Grey, going to phone the seller tomorrow and see what miles are as they have not disclosed. Don't mind 100k or so but much more than that and I'd be getting a bit worried because I've got to think of how long I'd be keeping it and miles I'd be putting on. Only thing is it doesn't have the roof rails so may have to remove mine to fit on the new one.

It's very unfair same motor/engine but different Taxes but it's hit all makes but to make you feel better just be glad you weren't silly & bought a new RR as the tax is £1000 a year they'll prob all get scraped as I can't see them selling once they hit the second hand marked:augie yet my brother has bought a brand new fiesta 1L turbo (faster than the 1.6) his insurance dropped & the road tax is £0 a year now if we all bought one do you think the zero tax would stay ? I don't think so:augie

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

surely greener to keep old motors running than building new ones, as how ever clean they
are theres still all that polution from production.

suppose could run a fiesta, ditch the caravan, take foreign holdidays, spend our money
overseas, plus aircraft polution contributing too,.....

I thought you payed a £1000 purchase tax (one off) and then it's higher VED :nenau:nenau
We have just bought a Fiesta 1.4 tdsi and the VED is a whooping £30 :lol

 

[jims-terrano]

OK guy's, an 05 plate with 130k on it. How much do you reckon it's worth and is it worth a look with 130k on it?
