Hello,
Am I right in thinking a 2000 W 2.5 V6 is cheaper to tax than a 2003 2.2 ?
If I've looked at this correctly it's £123 vs £154 for 6 months :o ::)
Is it based on when the emissions nonsense came into force in 2001?
Paul ;)
-
My 2002 2.2 and 2002 3.2 both cost £154 for 6 months :o :(
You'd think the 2.2 would be cheaper :-\
-
Yep I would, it seems from what I've read the V6 is cheaper to tax than the 2.2 purely on the emissions dates I think? :o
Now that may help convince SWMBO a little ;D

Post March 2001 all Omega's are in a higher band, 2.2 is same tax as 3.2
Pre March 2001 all Omega engines tax same.

Thanks Mark,
Can't believe 2.2 is the same as 3.2 nowadays tho. :o
May be able to convince SWMBO after all? ;D :-X
-
Sorry my mistake I thought it was 2001, must read things properly ::) :-[

A 2005 6.0 Vauxhall Monaro is same tax as 2.2 or 3.2 Omega :)

Yeah, they just capped the pre-2006 cars. :y

Simply yet another reason not to buy a four pot ;D
V6s are much better value :y
-
yes, 2001 is the date.
prior to 2001 cars are taxed in two bands according to engine size
post-2001 cars are taxed according to CO2 emissions

Yep, or to put it another way, to get the same emissions through 2/3rds as many cylinders they're going to be whining away constantly trying to keep an Omega moving. ;D

Now you tell me Al ::) ;D

I owned a 2litre 16v estate once ::) And once the interior was removed, I sold it :y
Didn't drive it far enough to put petrol in it, but rev happy is a phrase that springs to mind ;D
If you own a tidy '94-'95 vintage 2.0 8v base model car, preserve it for the grand children, as they will shortly be non existant, otherwise you might as well buy a ice v6 :y
-
Still got my eye on a couple Al ;D ::)
Been offered a W 2000 2.5 V6 CDX....... Cheaper tax band ;D :y
Not sure what to do yet tho ???

Pah, 4 pots rock. Far easier to work on my 2.2 is considerably more silent around town than the 3.2

What's wrong with the sound the 3.2 V6 makes :o ???

It's ETS similar to Eternal which is on the 2.2, same markings, double walled. On a cruise it's fine, just find more engine noise compared to my silent 2.2.
Think I'm biased, had the 2.2 over 8 years now ::)

Good on you mate :y ..Takes some doing that.
Think I'm biased towards the V6 sound over the 2.2.. Saying that both produce a fair bit of noise when floored, Can't say I've noticed the 3.2 to be too loud even with the stainless exhaust around town or cruising :-\ .. Had a Subaru legacy 2.0 some years ago when we had bad snow up here, Now that was loud all the time :o :o ;D
