Switched over to a diesel, to save my precious pennies. More MPG, cheaper tax... Well apparently not :sad: :embarassed: :embarassed:
Just got my tax renewal, and they want £118.25 for 6months or £215 for 12months!! :sick: :sick: That's as much as i was paying on my 1.8T!! I thought it was going to be around £115/£120 for the year :huh:
Anyone else riding a GTTDI, 115 130 150, what are you paying for 12 months tax?
-
Depending on the date of registration you'll be in the older tax bracket

I would'nt mind so much if they actually used road tax (emphasis on 'ROAD') to fix the damn things. Round Muswell Hill in London, it's like the Grand Canyon! :laugh:

I was moaning about that when I renewed in February and lo and behold a day later they fixed some of the worst potholes in town :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Its madness, if my car was 3 months older i would be 45 quid a year better off :angry:
-
It is madness it should be a flat rate for all cars.. the whole emission things is just way to con more money out of people.

I don't want to be paying the top whack thanks :tongue: Cos you know that's what it would cost if it was one flat rate
-
Quit your moaning. Paid £245 last week :(
I feel for R32 drivers :(
-
I wouldn't,t mind but only do about 6000 miles a year, just cause mine produces 235kgco2 (£260 pa) yet I could go and but a eleven year old hummer and pay 215 notes. surely someone who has 30 quid a year doing 20,000 a year will kick out more emissions, through engine and damage to the environment of the old batteries when there binned and cause more wear to the infrastructure. I feel proper sha**ed over. Was looking at a change to an r32 in a year but not when its going to cost over 450 quid.
Kind of rant over
-
I also completely agree with that rant. Why just because your car is
an old piece of sh!t dated before 2001 should you pay a flat rate less than newer cars?
Completely bonkers idea.

not only do they take the pi** with the road tax then there's the fuel.............. :angry:

Just paid £245 to tax the gti :(
Then it got me thinking....(which is dangerous lol)
The goverment arent trying to price us off the road to save the world like they think they are its all about money. If they wanted us to use our cars less then they would LOWER the prices of public transport like buses, trains etc and make them a more comfortbale place to be in rather than RAISING the price of tax and petrol etc.
Bloody money grabbing bastards :angry: For some people its not really necessary to get a bus or train into work but instead easier to travel by car so raising the prices of everything doesnt help them. And yet they contines to drive around in the big pertrol busting rr, maybachs lol and private copters :grin:
-
It works out cheaper for me to run a car, with tax, high fuel bill, tear and wear on tires and other parts then it would for me to take a train to work. Plus the car is a tad quicker...
Plus the whole transportation thing is a sham in London. I never understood what was wrong for paying 40-50p for a child fare and if the child was 3miles+ from school then he/she would get a free term off travel. Instead we now have higher fares to compensate the free travel, more twits using and ruining the buses. Then they introduced the oyster saying it will stay at £1 and never increase... cough *b0ll0x* cough, it has gone up twice. Now borris has introduced these hire bikes... we see him using them now, but I give it till it snows and he will be in a car.

My 53plate tdi 130 = £115 :cool:
-
£245.00 a year, not too bad in a way really.
-
My Mk6 GT TDI is £90 a year, my Passat V6 TDI is £245 and my Mk2 GTI is £210. That costs me £545 per year.
Now all 3 cars together do less than 25,000 miles per year. Mum and Dads neighbour does over 60,000 miles a year in his Golf Blue Motion and pays just £35. Who do you reckon produces the most carbon dioxides in a year?
I reckon we should pay our road tax on the fuel we use,(some would say we already do), then display an insurance disc on our windscreens.

I'm all for less windscreen clutter :grin:
