If you frame it like that, then absolutely. But alternative framings are available, e.g.:john-e89 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 11:30 am Whilst the road tax is obvs ridiculous I still don’t get why it’s a reason not to buy an M. Folk will go away for a nice weekend somewhere that costs the same but yet balk at spending it to drive one all year round…or 6 months for half the tax. That’s one single weekend that’s paid for a years tax.
- If you own the car for five years that's £3,560 in tax, if it doesn't go up further.
- Many people who own these cars own more than one car. I personally own four. I can swallow £1k in RFL per year, But close to £3k per year is much harder to accept.
- Of course you can SORN when not using, as I do. But it's still difficult to accept this amount of RFL for a car I might drive 3-4 times max per active month.
