My 2003 Jimny automatic did 24mpg and cost £420 a year to tax.. so it went. Good lamping tool, very quiet and cute.
I think Co-Co the clown runs a few in his circus act??? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS.. |

Series 11A used to be £500 through the NFU. Many youngsters/students etc have them due to cheap insurance

I don't think teenagers would be seen dead in a Jimny never mind a Series LR? They want Pugs and Vti's and milk churn exhausts.

Why on earth were you paying £420 per year to insure any car from 2003?? Didn't think the very high road tax affect cars unless they were registered after 23rd March 2006? And as for Co-Co!  Mark

It was the road tax not the insurance... i took it up with the DVLA and they checked it out and the high price was due to the emmission rating... it ran like a Swiss watch but they set the scale of V.E.D. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Ah, sorry, I meant to type road tax - doh!
Just meant that I thought that maximum anyone would pay for a PLG vehicle that was first registered before March 2006 was about £240 (ish, or whatever the current cost is). Wasn't aware that it went upto the £400+rate for cars registered before then aswell - I'm still convinced thats not right! lol Oh well, you learn, eh...... Mark 2011 110 XS DC Stornoway Grey |

No, no mate, not at all.....it was your car after all, just really surprised, thats all. Just that I had an Audi S4 (the 4.2 V8 one) that was an '05 plate that cost the £240 or so, and remember reading about the dates that the rates changed or something when I was looking at an RS4 to replace it with.....
anyway, apologies RD, not meaning to get into a spat about it or anything, honestly chap

I paid 6 months and got the shock of my life... £240!! I called DVLA as a little puddle-jumper should have been cheap to run. The previous owner was a disabled girl and i was the first owner to pay RFL. I was stumped too, and no offence taken. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Fact is you can get a half decent reliable jimny for a couple of grand and a gearbox or back axle for the same money if you go the land rover route.
It pains me to say it but there is no such thing as a cheap landy! JIMNY STILL WANTED Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi Mercedes G 320 Cdi Ford F-250 2-5 TD5 90 pickup D4 commercial |

I bought mine 2 years ago for £2200 and have used it everyday for work, school runs etc. It's my daily drive, I love it and it hasn't let me down once even though it's on it's original engine/gearbox chassis etc. Engines are £50, Gearbox £50, axles the same, no tax, £100 insurance and it goes up in value! You can't get cheaper motoring and they are cool with the tilt off  Stick in a 200TDi for £300 for better econonmy over the original Diesel but the petrol is a sweet little engine which is what I have in mine (unknown rocket ship mileage at least 8 previous owners many using it as a farm hack! - you can't get a better recommendation that that )
It's even been to France!
