Looks like there could be some cheap facelift cars for sale  

unless you buy a face lift of Roger Budden  

[Marks DTM Calib]

This government is useless with money (and always has been), look at this:

Borrowing next year will rise to £43bn, some 2.9% of national income. It will fall to 1.3% by 2012/13.

Idiots.....

mines a 2000 reg, i'm ok........

makes me think about my next car though, the plan was to go for an 03/04 car

[Martin_1962]

The table looks like it applies to 2001 to 2006 cars as well, if it does time for a revolution and gimpy headed bastard is against the wall straight after Brown and Bliar - bunch of *******ing traitors they are

[theowletman]

Can't make head or tail.

No mention of LPG

Looks like road tax is going over £400, might have to get an older car now!

The showroom tax is only applicable to the first 2 years of a cars life, therefore it will only affect brand new cars. We face modest increases only. It also looks like he has clobbered alternative fuel cars, i.e. LPG, as there is not much difference from petrol/diesel rates of duty.

For Miggies this year .. maximum is £210 - older ones will pay less

From 2009 its nasty ....

A.97 With effect from 1 April 2009, and as set out in Table 8a, VED for cars, registered on or after 1 March 2001, will be reformed to include six new bands. From 1 April 2010, a new first year VED rate will be introduced. With effect from 1 April 2009, and as set out in Table 8b, the lower rate of VED for cars and light good vehicles registered before 2001 is frozen and the higher rate will rise by £15. With effect from 1 April 2009, the VED rate for light goods vehicles registered after 2001 will rise by £15. With effect from 1 April 2010, the VED rate for cars and light goods vehicles registered before 2001 will be increased in line with indexation. (35)

The table reffered to is

at the bottom of page 131 of http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/13_03_08bud08_completereport.pdf

and basically will mean £440 a year from 2009 for most miggies registered after 1 March 2001 , CO2 > 225 those registered before pay £200

for LPG

A.93 The compressed natural gas differential will be maintained until 2010-11 and the liquefied petroleum gas differential will decrease by 1 pence per litre on each of 1 October 2008, 1 April 2009 and 1 April 2010. (*)

HTH

Pre '73 /'Historic' cars look to be a way forward. VED is FREE!

Time to kick out this corrupt bunch of bastards

[Markie]

Im really getting sick (sicker) of this goverment and also enviromental issues - i frankly care for neither.

If it pi55es of Gordon and Co and the greenies i`ll buy a v8 and let it idle  

I dont drink, smoke or do anything much else that Gordon prohibits so i`ll be damed if he is going to tell me what i can drive

If only the Labour goverment would manage the economy in an efficient manner we wouldnt have a cash crisis and poor goverment bank balance that the honest working motorist has to make up time and time again.

Still at least the increase in taxation is going to worthwhile causes like giving more benefits to the lazy that wont work and rewarding immigrants for navigationg the tunnel into the UK. ( COME TO BRITAIN - WELL FEED YOU, CLOTH YOU AND HOUSE YOU - COMMIT A CRIME AND WE WILL SEND YOU HOME WITH 3GRAND).

We wouldnt want to see it used to improve the NHS, provide national childcare, schools, policing and hole free roads would we now!?!

Rant over.....for now.

Time to kick out this corrupt bunch of bastards

They are all the same, They say one thing to gain office then forget their promises. But what winds me up is, why is it always the little people that get screwed

Idiots.....

They're obviously counting on being voted out and someone who knows what they're doing being at the helm by 2013...

Pre '73 /'Historic' cars look to be a way forward. VED is FREE!

break 'em. My next car's a Jensen Interceptor, then.  8-)

I have been phoning - might be worth asking other parties their plans, I think the Conservatives will drop this as a lot of people (like us) are being adversly effected.

The bastard is on TV now and needs putting out of our misery

[markey mark]

no point in whingeing about we carnt do naff all just got to take it the chin as always !! best way is to be an immigrant and come here and live like a lord for free !!!!!

I wouldn't count on anyone reversing it. Anyone coming in and inheriting Labour's defecit will be hard pushed to make any tax cuts, no matter how much they may disagree with them now.

Besides, if I'm not mistaken all opposition parties have been sold the climate change myth in pretty much equal measure to the current muppets.
