991 Delivery charges/ Road Tax

[Ady128]

Hello Folks,

Does anyone know the delivery costs and Road Tax for the 991 Cab? My OPC quoted me £655 but methinks this is a little high.

1st year tax is £600 iirc, so just £55 on top for delivery seems about right,

The Govt charges £55 1st registration fee on all cars, then first year road tax on a sliding scale based on CO2 emissions and that is £600 for yours. Total £655 (you can see all the details on direct.gov)

That's the 991 Cab PDK by the way. Shouldn't it be £460?

Here you go. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for 1st year rates.

According to Porsche's website the co2 figure for the 991 Cab with PDK is 197 and according to the DVLA site they quote £460.

Ah, I see what you mean. Are there any options which might increase the CO2? Can't think of why it should be more otherwise.

£195 for delivery sounds more like it.

There is no delivery charge on new Porsches, just the first years road fund license and £55 registration fee.

It seems like some dealers mistakenly quote the Road Fund License for the manual when you spec a PDK, it's just enetered manually by the sales guy.

One did this for my 981 until I pointed out the PDK was lower than the manual.

Cheers,

Geoff

Thanks Geoff. Just wanted to make sure as it's costing enough as it is!
