What car do you have and how much is it to tax?

I see. That's very impressive. I gather you must've worked really hard to be able to buy that?

Lol anybody can do a vehicle enquiry.

I wouldn't be so impressed. Most people earning an average wage (especially if they're a couple) can afford an expensive looking car - it's even easier if you have the bank of Mum and Dad of course but if not car finance is pretty accessible for most. You can get them on finance for a reasonable amount (I say 'reasonable' - reasonable for someone on an 'average' salary with no dependents). There are quite a few finance companies that offer status cars very cheap - they will even do deals with people on JSA, so long as the applicant can prove that they have money coming in. So I wouldn't be too impressed. Most people in brand new cars don't actually own them - they're just living beyond their means and sacrificing other luxuries/necessities to keep up with the monthly payments.

For example:

Yeah of course -- it's easily affordable car if you're earning a decent wage (as a couple), but it's just that he himself is 20 and has a near 40k car. Compare that to the average guy his age rolling in their 02' reg corsa's and corolla's for example.

anyway not making judgement, just an observation ;p

Haha, I see. Well I'm not bothered about making a judgement - my best guess is he's either telling porkies or has rich parents...or won on a scratch card .

BMW e46 330i

Like £280 a year to tax... >

BMW e46 320d

£180 a year

Probably get rid of it next summer anyway. Might not do the remap I was considering. Planning to replace it with an F30/facelift E90 model.

It's easy for those with rich Arab parents

Yh lucky them. being able to drive gold 6x6s and everything

Some of the them seem to care about the environment though, I.e get a Golf BlueMotion

or just want to save on road tax instead ^_^

Surely takes a good few years before you actually make a saving as opposed to you buying a cheaper model?

yh and wot

btw the car wasn't brand new -- it was used and it happen to be bluemotion hehe

Give me a heads up when you sell it, I might be interested in one of those next year

Noted, buddy.

You'll be pleased to hear that I recently had the engine refurbished and rebuilt. Stuff went wrong but I got it seen to by specialists and it's all good.

Service history until 2014 as well

What year is it? Mileage? Colour? This sounds very tempting!

2003 150bhp ~100k miles Silver SE edition. Should mention that the only negative thing that stands out, about the exterior, is that the front splitter is partially broken. But it's very minor tbh.

Tfw poverty and can't afford any car
