RE: Secret Road Tax Hits Thousands
Discussion
Thank gawd for a 2000 reg V8. 
Don't want to sound smug 'cos it still bloody stinks-even the wife's 1.8 Focus goes up to £260 in a couple of years.
Politicians (ALL) are a waste of a human being as far as I'm concerned. None of them has any better idea on how to run a country than any body else.

Not that agree with the tax hike, but to say it is a secret tax is a bit of spin to make it sound even worse than it is.
These rules have been about for quite a while now, on nearly all the motoring websites and on the gov tax site and on parkers, autotrader, what car etc....
Agree it is slightly unfair to families or people who have marginally older larger engined cars.

I think if you read Jeremy Clarkson's article in Topgear magazine this month it once again shows why he should be PM. He says buy a car past 1973 and modify it. As long as the chassis number remains with the log book you can do whatever you want with it and not have to pay any tax.
That's what I've got.Works out very nicely too!

rS!! If the government were really serious about emissions etc. it would scrap all car taxes and just have a duty on fuel. How is it fair to tax a larger engined car that does 5000 miles per year, more than a smaller engined car doing twice or three times as much mileage.
It just shows this is about getting as much money as possible out of all of us. I can't wait for the next election to kick out Brown and co.
Come on Londoner's make a start and show us the way, Vote Boris

Thank you for highlighting this. It has sealed my mind who i am NOT going to vote for tomorrow. I've had enough of them.
I am also going to keep my 1999 Nissan 200sx tuned to 350bhp, and get that bigger turbo and engine rebuild to 450bhp I've been thinking about as I've now ruled out buying a newer performance car, especially as my tax is fixed on the '99 car. :-)
The problem I have is who to vote for. I think the Tories would be worse, they have an actor with no policies in charge, the Lib Dems have cocked up my local council, I would never support BNP out of principle, the Greens would be worse for the motorist...I have no options left.
Does anybody fancy helping me start a common sense party?

I can see this having a bit of a strange effect on the price's of used cars. Using the example of the Clio 172 from before. I'd be more likely to get the slightly older car knowing that the tax was going to be lower over the next few years, than the newer one with the increased tax.
Could mean that with cars in a similar situation it may be cheaper to buy a newer high tax one as people try to limit their tax bill by buy older ones hense pushing the prices of those up.
