Default Road tax costs for a sportKa

Is there a site somewhere that list all cars and road tax costs?

even downh to enter the reg plate and it tells you the tax costs?


Looking at a few sportKa's around 2006 to 2008,

dont want to end up with a 08 plate over a simular spec 06 if the tax is more.

As it sems to be very random prices year to year on a lot of stuff

The missus had a SportKa, what a great little car it is. So chuckable and more fun than the standard car. She had an SE which had leather, CD etc. Can pick them up for next to nothing now.

£190 a year tax, and I think she paid less than £300 quid for insurance. Only a fuel sensor went wrong and that was replaced under warranty.

Don't buy a Picanto, urgh. The SK is a much better car and she'll thank you for it, even though it costs more.

you can see what will happen though, you go with sportka, she gets it likes the drive but whinges and blames you for the extra cost citing how the picanto would be cheaper to run

or

you get the picanto and she whinges like fuck about it being slow and blames you for not stopping her and making her see sense and get the sportka.

So either way its your fault

Fucking woman!! cant live with them, cant bury them under the patio.......
