Car Tax 1st March 2001
Discussion
Just wondering if anyone else car purchases are decided by the tax rules.
Just in the process of looking for a Barge at the moment for £2-3k. And I really begrudge paying near as £500 to tax a car, so making sure to only look at older models.
This got me thinking in the next few years all these cars (pre-03/2001) are going to be past it, so will we then start seeing a change in purchasing habits away from big barges into smaller "Eco"cough S**t cars.

Its only the cars registered post 23rd March 2006 that pay the full wack £450 and above or whatever it is... Thats where you'll see the drop off in second hand prices I think...
Yup, My Range Rover tax was half the price of one a few months newer 
My Dad's old 350z was registered on the 26th March 2006 - Gutted!
