... and it was CHEAPER than I thought. Only Â£250. For some reason I thought it should be Â£275

Is this the road tax for a year, Paul?

raistlin · Posted 06 Jan 2013, 16:18 #3

Shocking that is! My 52 Plate Diesel Manual is Â£175 ? How can they justify a Â£75 difference between a Manual and a Automatic? The Emissions are not that different are they?

Different enough to put the auto in a higher group Carl.

Come on James - who said anything about 'fair' when it comes to fleecing motorists? :lol:

James.uk · Posted 07 Jan 2013, 18:58 #13

Ooeerr. i just edited my deliberate mistake. But you had copy pasted it already. :O . lol..

Nah, motorists are just cash cows innit Paul..

Thats almost as much for a 2.0l V6 Disc or a 2.5l V6 Disc and surely they produce far more Emmissions?

Funnily enough, When I was contemplating swapping out the Tourer for a Saloon, I started checking Tax Disc prices as part of my list to look for. How sad is that? Â£220 for a 1999 / 2000 2.0l / 2.5l compared to up to Â£270 for a later model!

Yes diesels produce less emissions, but because they are 'dirtier' in other ways they are penalised.

Specifically they are alleged to produce more particulates (that's not actually smoke, but small invisible particles) although some petrols are actually worse. That's how it was justified.

Manual CDTi was Â£170 PA, in December 2012 (Â£165 in 2011)
