3 cars to tax and 2 to insure at the end of the month

over £1300

so glad the mrs is paying

but the bonus is i got free tickets to see thor

Its no fun at all, eh? I mean, £110 to insure a modified Fusion, £55 for a 160 brake Mad Max, and £45 for an FZR600 full comp is a diabolical liability.

Our main car is motability, so that's not my problem. Can't even bring myself to clean it.

Dude, really??? You feel hard done by having that kind of bill for 3 car taxes and 2 insurances?

I've never understood people that moan about the running of cars ..ive never ever run a car on a shoe string or ever had the problem of worrying about fuel prices ..if you ain't happy with the deal you're getting in life or other things then change ..it really is that simple .

Fartblood

Absolutely agree. It particularly perplexes me when people buy something big or flash that's really beyond their means, and they have to resort to all sorts of penny pinching or even bodgery to keep it on the road. Budget Nangkang Woosung tyres, no name eBay brake pads, or dodgy removal or elimination of DPFs etc all seems it bit daft to me - if you can't afford to maintain, repair and run it properly, then buy something else.

That's why I stick to bikes for my real performance fix. A sub 10 second bike my wallet can handle. A 10 second car on Bakelite tyres and sawdust brake pads, or a luxo barge puking undiluted cancer out the tail pipe is just stupid.

Why so many cossies are rough and fucked because of people that bought and wouldn't maintain them right .

Like these people who buy Diesels. The tight bastards lol.

Im not bothered about mpg either just stick the fuel in and drive the fooker. I also like my cars to be right too. Its my responsibility to look after my car.

hi dan

already got a policy up for renewal with you but as i'm looking to buy a replacement car in the next week or so i'm going to give it a little time

a change of work for the mrs has already made insurance cheaper for one car

it's not even my money

it wouldn't have been so bad but 3 sets of tax and 2 sets of insurance at the same time is a bit of a headache to sort for the paperwork really

and i couldn't tax the mondeo because the dvla computer wouldn't accept the numbers they'd sent me so had to go to the post office to get them to do it, so an afternoon wasted

and i don't even USE the mondeo, it's a "just in case we need more space" and it's in bits at the moment because 'm sticking in the factory satnav and fancy seats etc

the bentley went from £5k the first year with a £5k excess to a more sensible £700 the following with a £500 excess so i was ecstatic, even though, again, i wasn't paying

my only gripe now is that a newer car will need more complicated servicing stuff rather than a home grown oil and filter change, with the occasional pollen and air filter swap

I’ve 2 cars to pay for but the sierra is not mot’ed and is sorn at the moment. And I have 3 bikes all on the road. I’ve a note in my phone memory with mot tax and insurance dates for all 5 or I forget

it should be user pays, in the channel islands road tax is on the fuel, you use the road you pay, a much fairer system.

How old is the car? That sounds enough for the first year

Adam-M

I can see that costing you a fortune when fuel is already stupidly expensive, example you can generally tax a car for 20 quid a month, the extra fuel cost would cost way more than that I bet.

markie t

winners and losers, luckily i am a winner as i hardly use my cars but if you use your car a lot you are a loser. trouble is after 10 years since introduction the government are the losers as the extra on the fuel is not replacing the cost of the road tax as cars are more efficient so now the bastards are looking for more ways to tax us.

i've got a free buspass through work so has the mrs

but still, back then that was a good months wages, now it's 15% of my annual take home

i had that back in the day mate, spend spend spend and just go and work more to pay for it all, but now i'm older and supposedly wiser, i don't want to spend all my life working and miss out the family time

got everything i need to pay for working a 5 day week now so i'm happy

3 tax 2 insurance is good going at £1300 tbf, my yearly tax alone is over £1600 on 3 private vehicles, I don't mind, if I couldn't afford them I wouldn't have them simple as that for me
