I think if you are buying a £50K car you could possibly afford the new tax band?

It's not the point of being able to afford it, I pay £295 at the moment, it's a tax based on the cost of the vehicle that's already been stung with tax. £140 is the VED, £310 is money in the chancellors pocket. Also I've been told to expect the price of my D5 to increase by £300 despite LR publishing prices knowing full well that the chances are most cars won't be delivered until April.

More importantly I'm a Scotsman. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Which BMW have you gone for? I ordered my X3 at the start of October with estimated arrival into the UK mid February - 6 weeks before I actually need it just incase (my current X3 arrived 3 weeks late). Seems as though it is going to arrive early January now so intend to do the swop first week of March so I get the 17 plate and also avoid the new VED rules. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit
