P11D Values? Wtf?

[BFG TERRANO]

Ok a 'sort of' what car. The company Seat is going soon. I've been asked to choose something with a P11D value up to £17500. Need a big car with low emissions and cheap as poss on the tax. Any ideas??!!

Cheap, big car, low on tax. Sounds like you're after a Dacia Duster.

Hmm - not easy. Depends on how big is 'big? You could get into a 1.3 CDTI Astra, or 1.4T (petrol) Design Insigia Hatchback, Skoda Octavia 1.2TSI SE Hatch, Renault Captur, Peugeot 308 Active, and possibly just about a Golf 1.2 TSI S 5dr.

or just opt out

Is this not why the Mondeo and Insignia exist?

[Blown2CV]

is it not still possible to get crew-cab pickups as commercial vehicles incurring a fraction the tax of other road cars? Nissan Navarro etc

[plasticpig]

Yes but the only fully equipped (hard top canopy) double cab pickup that I can think of which is under £18k is the Great Wall Steed.

Thanks for the tips people, updated today it's £15750. Not great tbh but hey. I'm thinking petrol and low emissions because petrol cars retail for less than equivalent derv models.

I need a P11D value of nearly 20k for these.

Can you even get a mondeo or insignia less than £15750? Sounds like you need something Kia, Suzuki or Hyundai?

It's confusing! P11D values are not list prices?! 3 years ago 15750 just got the Ibiza tdi. Car prices go up but the allowance doesn't. I tried to order a 1.3 derv Astra last time but no. Then a base golf but no.

P11d value is list price plus options.

Thank you! My company waffled and basically didn't know!

Do you still have to pay the options up front?

I don't have to pay anything. Just choose up to the value limit and not a 3 door. I can't upgrade even if I cough up. Difficult to find a decent size car, I'm 6 ft so is the bread knife and the 3 of us are about to become 4!! Focus or golf would do but it's not quite enough

Go to comcar website. Stick in your max price and filter by co2 the pick the biggest car with the lowest co2 or BIK tax.
