Lower Road Tax on NEW models!
Just checked with a main dealer to clarify the road tax price of new vehicles and it has indeed been reduced to £200 for a Defender which was registered after October 2010 - they are all classed as commercial now apparently - good news Thumbs Up

There has been a post on this previously on getting 'older' Pumas reclassified - did the dealer mention this at all? ignorance is bliss...

No he didn't, does that mean you can re classify any age Defender for the cheaper commercial rate? How do you do it? Thanks

Does the lower tax apply to the Station Wagons too? If so, how did they manage that?!

Whilst K9F is having man flu, I will speak quietly so not to disturb - QUEUE BRASS BAND Twisted Evil and at the top of my voice I'M GLAD AT LEAST 3 PEOPLE NOW HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE TAX SITUATION which was a result of CONFUSION from a recent previous thread Laughing

Rolling with laughter Zzzzzzz! Just hurry up and buy one Zagato! Come on in, the water's fine! I pay the full wack on car tax and it wasn't and isn't really a deciding factor for me personally! This issue has been very clearly explained in at least one other thread! Not really my fault if it wasn't clear enough for you! I love my Defender warts 'n' all bought an ex demonstrator four months old with only four and a half thousand miles on for £7k below list price! Maybe that is also worth considering if depreciation (your other thread) is another concerning factor!

Happy hunting anyway! PS you have cheered me up and lifted my spirits! Nose still a bit runny though! Dog Thank you! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Glad youve perked up under the sheets K9F Shocked Embarassed

While were on the subject Willy Laughing (too much info, not a nice vision in my head!) I need a 110 for all my long tools, (Oh christ hear we go again, not doing it on purpose!) lawn mower, and big landscaping loads. I used to use a 110 SW for this by folding down the second row seats and lining the load area - worked really well and then I used it as a family vehicle for towing caravan boat etc Thumbs Up

If I do get a new 110, I know I will be towing my trailer most of the time - well I wouldn't want to get it dirty would I - it will be a bleedin miracle if i ever get it out of the garage Laughing anyway cannot do anything for a few months so plenty of time to gesticulate - STEADY!!
