Hi,

My thoughts upon tax renewal were not comparing costs of taxing say a 04/05 plate Crossfire with a £270 RFL to my yearly £470 RFL?

But with what others in today's new generation of engine/emission cars are paying on RFL per year?

In some cases £0-£30

That's attractive to buyers,

Mind you, I can also see the GOVERNMENT changing the tax band pricing again in the coming years,
Not getting enough back while the Motorist is paying £0-£120 a year on RFL are they?

Your right regarding deprecation argument though, A newer vehicle would take a big hit in value over say 3 years ownership,
Which is why i haven't' changed up to now, Along with the fact i enjoy owning my Crossfire,

I think i just begrudge paying close to £500 a year just to drive my well maintained car on a pothole infested road,

While others pay half the value, or even much less as their poorly maintained black smoking, mobile pieces of junk just chug away in front of me choking up my cabin,

I mean buses and coaches pay less RFL?
How can that be right?

Insurance - Fine,
Tyres -Fine
Oil/Service items -Fine

RFL at £475 per year...(this will rise) ? I have issues with that!
