Citreon C1 or C3

 

Reanault Clio

read somewhere that all cars will be paying road tax again soon

£134 minimum was the figure mentioned

 

reason for this is all these low emission cars who pay nothing or very little

is having a big effect on how much is getting collected in tax

not enough to cover road repairs etc etc

so the new low limit is being introduced

I think you are correct but I was of the impression that it referred only to "green" cars first registered after April 2017. I could be wrong on that.

Got the same engine in my Dacia Logan Kenny great on fuel and best doo transporter I have had after Dal tipped me off about them...

If you are buying for daughter stay away from diesel ---too expensive to repair when they go wrong,corsa,s have chain drive on small engine instead of T Belt these are known fault and a bit pricey to fix.

ford ka are rot boxes,so what do you buy?

well insurance dictates that a small car is preferable.

dont go too old

citroen c1,c2 or c3--petrol engine

fiat punto --8 valve engine--get front subframe checked for corrosion

peugeot 206 --petrol engine--get back axle checked--wheels lean and rear suspension sieze.

toyota is good to.

there are loads of tin boxes out there for sale---a full mot only means it passes the minimum requirements to go on the road.

if there is nothing to hide tell the seller you will give him a tenner for fuel and ask them to take it to your mechanic for inspection if they wont walk away.

hope this helps.

fore courts for around £1700 at the time I spent £150

Nip down scrap yard and get two wheel rims and have two winter tyres fitted ---they do work if we get snow but compound wears quicker on tarmac than normal tyre and tyre noise is louder with winter ones.
