TomsFocus Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm sure most of you are aware by now, VED increases every year at April, here is a table showing the extra you'll have to pay this year. Those of us with £30 or below remains the same though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I will struggle on with paying £20 a year thanks. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 My tax is due March so I'll miss the April increase to £145 this time round. Meanwhile our SEAT Mii reg in 2014 is still on £20 even though it produces more CO2 than the Fiesta (105g/km against 102g/km) - funny old world😁!

iantt Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Total for both our cars is £20 . Her fiesta is £0 , shame the insurance isn't the same. !!! And shame the fuel isn't 42p a litre!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 41 mate and don't live in a city either. I actually pay £215 with an enhanced courtesy car but obviously that's optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit older than I thought then, but still not old enough for insurance that cheap lol. I don't live in a city either and pay more than twice that for slow, comfort spec diesels... Could be worse though, having just seen Martyns! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Luckily I'm still going to pay £30 for road tax on my 1.6 TDCI fiesta but then again the mayor is forcing people to get petrol or a newish diesel in 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still stupidly cheap though, a lot of insurers have a lower premium of £200ish as well!

Literally the only one I can find is the prefacelift Focus 1.0. Everything else of similar size is still far too new for my budget currently. 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Y Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think I can manage the whole £5 a year extra on my VED (£140 currently). My tax doesn't run out until the end of April so will just miss out on saving a whopping £5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory seems to be getting worse, I'd totally forgotten about the 2017+ flat rate of VED... 🤦♂️ Been searching Autotrader with the £30 tax option permanently ticked and wondering why there was nothing newer than '66 coming up even without putting a budget in...

zain611 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Just another way for the government to make money. A 2015 BMW M3 road tax is £315 which isn't bad for a sports car but now its gone up. If this keeps up it probably would be around £400 to tax by the time I'm able to work and afford it after getting a property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt give it a second thought Zain because if you own a property and can still afford a 2015 M3 then £400 is pocket change! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might get a flat but put it on rent as an investment then look at getting a house when or if I get married. At first I was thinking of getting a car first when I start working full time but parents are saying it's best to get a property before a car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to do that once upon a time but unfortunately met my now ex-wife and then bought a property. Ah well................😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could go back to when I was in your situation I'd buy several properties. Let's face it, apart from the occasional glitch overall they are only going one way! My father talked me out of buying a 3 bed house for 23k when I was 22 yrs old. Stupidly I listened as you think your parents know best. My dad was worried about the interest rates rocketing back up to 15% and getting me into financial difficulties but that never happened. I ended up buying a 2 bed semi for 40k when i was 24 which 2yrs later was worth 80k. Like I said, I should've bought several!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, likewise but unfortunately then I was struggling to buy one property and interest rates were at 15% and you virtually had to beg for a mortgage! If only you could invent a BACS transfer combined with a time machine, then I could send my younger self some wedge and now I'd be an old billionaire!😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
