Was just searching for some odds and ends and came across this.  Not sure about the tax figures, is that right?  Mine costs more than that for 6 months at £118.

Really?

A year 2000 3.0ltr V6 saloon is cheaper to tax than a 1999 2.0ltr estate?

No

Anything after 2001 the tax is determined by co2 emissions

anything before you pay the same.

my 3l is £118 for 6 months tax

A 1998 1.6 ford mondeo would also be the same price

Yep the pre 2001 system is under 1.5 and over 1.5.

that's why I like old cars as you can have a huge car and pay reasonable tax

Nope, but they can afford to spend x000's on mods and insurance for a peice of junk!

For those that don't know about it, have a look here http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/, I often entertain myself looking through the latest finds and there are some nasty cars on there.
