Just wait till next year if they go ahead.

Talk about kick the public while they are down.Or have they realised we are skint yet?

Dream Weaver

Nobody's skint, people have just stopped spending in fear due to this none existant credit crunch being rammed down everyone's throat every minute of every day!!

I bet it's the same lot that started the global warming nonsense

Just because they can afford expensive cars, doesn't mean they should be any happier about paying VED.

If the new rates go ahead, I reckon loads of people won't cough up, on principle Should be fun

I am not going to pay it, going to leave the ****** on the path or sell it, £300 a year for the paltry mileage I do, not worth keeping it.

Lee247

Mine will be going soon anyway, not sure if the person who wanted him is still interested, but this "excessive" taxing of the motorist is hacking me off now. I think they want £400 for mine, greedy sods
Think I will go for a Porsche next

Dream Weaver

That was my point, I'm also quieter than normal and it's down to the media hyping up something that wouldn't affect most of us anyway.

Without the media scare tactics about the CC, everyone would have carried on as normal, but most folk have tightened their belts, me included, "just in case".

the most annoying thing I find with the increased VED rates is that it does nothing to do with global warming etc, its just another excuse to screw the motorist for more money.
If its really done in a way to reduce co2 emmisions then it has to be based on the no of miles per year, not engine size / how much car polutes per mile.
If not like we see the benefits of the road tax - ie the money spent on the roads is it ?

Since when was a BMW very expensive.

Dealer offered me £4K for our old one upon trade in.

This lot get very upset if you don't pay them the tax of any kind that they feel is due to them. They will jump up and down and sue you at the drop of a hat and send you to clink just like that!

I think Wenker is marvelling at the number of 50k plus 08 plated cars you see about.

speedking

If they crush a car then they won't get any VED revenue from it next year

Still, with all the revenue from fines they should be able to reduce the VED rate for all of us regular payers

Wenker Man

Not many of them to be fair, the majority on the road are poverty versions of the 320d (poor man's mondeo, or is that the other way round, LOL ).

Unless there are a load of 645s being driven round that London or Surrey with no tax on. And in that case, I bet most are on finance or lease purchase anyway, so the driver won't care either way.
